new post old problem. I have replaced my spark module with the second new one in two weeks with the same results. When the gas is turned on the igniter sparks but will not stop when the burner is lit. If I turn all four burners on then the igniter will stop the spark. I have confirmed correct polatity on the line feed and the neutral wires. I have also cleaned all four igniters ( they had a small amount of carbon on them) as well as checked the burner caps for correct placement. What part of the system tells the spark module that the burner is lit. All oter items seem to be in place. Can you help me diagnose this problem. thanks Tommy

Dear Tommy T.

Its possible one or more of the micro switches on the valve have gotten wet from a spill over.

I am not sure where the micro switches are. Are they at the valve (ie the knobs) or somewhere else?

check your burner ignitor wires feeds to the module make sure they are correct, 2nd, make sure your ground wire is FIRMLY attached to the range, if not it will mis-fire on the ignitors. Anymore help? Drop me a message
