I have a 4 burner Kenmore cooktop that no longer will light. I do not hear any clicking sounds when the any of the four knobs are turned to lite. I have replaced one of the igniters (out of two), but still no clicks. Any suggestions as what to look at next?
Thanks in advance

If none of the igniters are clicking, the issue likely lies with the power to the unit or the spark module. Are you certain that there is power to the outlet that the cooktop is plugged in to?

Anyway to check voltages, etc to/from that Unit ?

Sure! The module is mounted in the base of the cooktop. If you can access that module, you will see the power wires on the terminals labeled N & L. Test between those wires for 120 VAC when any burner is turned on. Let me know what you find.

Test between those wires for 120 VAC when any burner is turned on. Let me know what you find. 120 going into sparc module. 0 volts across the igniter terminals on other end of sparc module

It is the Kenmore The gas valve has been stuck for a while, just now getting around to looking at everything. I am sure I could figure it out, but much rather get the experience of others. What information do you need to determine if you could be of assistance?
