Apparently the ignition module for my Hardwick stove top has quit working. The module is a Harper-Wyman Kool Lite Model 6520. Any suggestions on a replacement since I have been unable to find one? Thanks.

If this is a spark module with the two input and the two output terminals, you can use the spark module made by Frigidaire (best price!) with the part number AP2149264. Gene.

Thanks for the help Gene. Ordered it this morning. I'll let you know how it turns out. Looks like a savings of about $40.00 over the appliance store who was trying to help me.:)

Gene. Gene: Can I use a [Tappan? Frigidaire?] # (FR) 5303912606 Ignitor Module as well as the Frigidaire part you mention? I ordered it from (my best guess based on very limited info by anyone online or by phone) ...before I saw your old POST about the "exact" replacement for the 6520, the AP2149264. ["If this is a spark module with the two input and the two output terminals, you can use the spark module made by Frigidaire (best price!) with the part number AP2149264."]Thanks for your help! Jim

Gene: I installed the spark module, worked fine for about 2 minutes.. . then began to work sporadically (intermittently, sometimes not for about 15 to 20 seconds, sometimes normal repetitive sparking, and usually very inconsistent sparking (dangerous when it pauses too long to light, of course!). I don't know if it was you.. . but some tech said the modules that are replaced are 90% good! YIKES, I think I've been dupped TOO! By my own mis-diagnosis evidently!
What is likely to be causing this inconsistent functioning? I have tightened ground screws securely. Doesn't seem like it could be anything but the spark gaps themselves.. . Yet, that seems unlikely too! [I've hooked the module up directly to power.. . to bypass the knob spark switches.. . THE SPARK MODULE STILL WORKED INCONSISTENTLY!] The spark gaps function fine at times, sparking about 2 to 4 times per second, then they spark every 10 or so seconds, sometimes with 15 to 30 second pauses! Help?
Please advise.. . :confused:
Thanks, Jim :D
P.S. Is there a gap cleaning procedure.. . or some way to "rebuild" or service the spark gap units?

Jim,
What is the complete model number of the stove?
Make sure you connected the live wire to the "L" terminal and the neutral to the "N" terminal on the spark module.
Gene.

Gene: Model # GSU-33-E-1 Chambers [Top Burners (4)]
The spark module was H-W 6520...the one you mentioned.
It sparks sometimes just fine...repeatedly. Other times, it has a very faint "sparking" sound, but does not spark. Tonight, I lit the stove with a starter lighter after attempting several times to use the manufactured spark mechanism [it just gave that faint sparking sound...without lighting (or sparking!)]. I tapped the spark tubes with the end of the (unlit) starter lighter (when the knob was turned on to LIGHT)...and the spark gaps started to spark properly. Could it be a bad connection of the spark assembly? The spark gaps don't appear serviceable...esp as the unit is riveted so you can't get under the stove proper where the wires run...and I can't see how the gaps could be serviced..or even checked?? :confused:
Thanks for your help! Jim:D
