Condition: Gas is on to the range, plugged in. All burner knobs are in the off position.
Symptoms: All burner electrodes are firing all over the place, but stop firing when you turn the burner control knobs on. The burners will light with a match.
The oven/broiler works fine. I think it hates me:confused:

The problem can be a bad spark module or a shorted ignition switch.
You have to run a simple test. Turn On the burners, but do it one by one and only one at a time.
If any of the burners turned On will stop firing, then the problem is a bad ignition switch for this burner.
If not, then the spark module is the culprit.
Gene.

I have had the range turned off at the breaker box. Since turning it back on, they are now sporadically firing, singly, in pairs and sometimes all at once. But they will go for 10-15 minutes, and then they might all fire at once. I turned each of them on (lit each one with a match, because the ignition switches will not light any of the burners) and then they were silent. But, with the length of time between them firing now, I don't know if that is conclusive. Also, this happened all of a sudden. Seems that maybe its easiest to start with the spark module, and then go to the ignition switches. Or maybe just replace all of the ignition switches and the spark module and be done with it. Thanks for your help.

You are right. In such situation the spark module is the first failure suspect. The spark module is located on the bottom of the range (#1 on the diagram). - The spark module Part number: AP2994560
