Is this a problem with spark module or something else? KGRT507BWH1 They all will spark if and when they want to. Could the problem be if one of the burner knobs has a problem and is not working properly like not popping up fully when you shut it off.

Also, can you be more specific on this problem: Quote: ...one of the burner knobs has a problem and is not working properly like not popping up fully when you shut it off... - The spark module Part number: AP2994560 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL KGRT507BWH1 | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

Quote: ...It feel like it is not snaping back up when you shut it off... It can happen if the gas burner valve (#7 or #8 on the diagram) is malfunctioning. Gene.
