The burner works fine at all times, and all the other burners work fine. What's causing the problem? spark module? or electrode? or something else? Outofpocket

Also remove all igniters and check the ceramic part for any damages and grease. You can use a rubbing alcohol to clean them. Here are the break down diagrams for the GE cooktop Model JGP336AEV2AA Gene.

The electrode looks clean and bright with no dirt or build up. I am reluctant to disconnect the unit since it will take another 8 hours or so until it stops "self sparking". I guess though I will have so look, so will let you know when I do. I wonder what is giving the electode the signal to spark? How come it stops? Thanks again! Outofpocket
