Sorry, I did a search...honest.

I have a GE gas oven/range (guessing 10-15 years old) that has gradually refused to light the stove on its own. The problem used to be intermittent. Now, when given a 'light' command a faint clicking is heard from behind the unit.
The oven works normally. The 4 stove burners work normally when manually lit.
Is there an ignitor module of some kind back there, that must be independent of the oven side?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

Please provide correct model number. You can find it when you pull the drawer. It's located on the side frame.

Hello.

Most likely the problem is bad spark module. It's located inside the control panel.

The spark module Part number: AP2020570
