I have replaced the spark switches and the spark module. the burners continue to spark after the burner has a flame. if you turn the knobs all the way to the low, the burners are still sparking. i have inspected the wires internally and they all look good. what am i missing. it seems that it is something easy but i'm missing it. any help would be great.
thanks :mad:

The problem can be a bad or just greasy burner igniter (electrode). This stove has a re ignition system and is very sensitive to igniters condition. You can learn more about such system from one of our precious posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros...-range-professional.html

Hopefully just a good cleaning will solve this problem.

Try to use isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush.

just a question, why would the diry dried grease cause the ignitors to continue to spark. I don't understand why that would cause it. what would you recommend would need cleaning. i replaced all the spark switches. please advise

thanks
