My front XLo burner sparks but does not ignite. I had the same problem with the rear one a few years ago and a repairman replaced the potentiometer. I wish to do the same now (without the repairman). Any advice on how to access the area and safely replace it? Thank you.

Does the gas flow through the burner while the igniter clicks?

Yes. If I turn on the rear burner at the same time, the front burner will also light.

The instructions are attached to the reply.

If you need the correct part number for the potentiometer, talk to the APP team.

Thank you, Gene. I cannot open the first file. I get a big red 'X'. Can you post it as a PDF?

I've tried to open this file a few times and it did it fine. Unfortunately I do not have such software to convert it in PDF.
