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

Are you certain that there is power to the outlet that the cooktop is plugged in to? Yes there is definitely power to the outlet. So you are thinking spark module? Anyway to check voltages, etc to/from that Unit ?

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.

Let me know what you find. 120 going into sparc module. 0 volts across the igniter terminals on other end of sparc module

That module is available below. GE WB20X107 Module, Spark - AppliancePartsPros.com Ok. thank you very much. Also, I recently purchased a replacement gas valve for a cooktop, since I have a stuck valve. Does this forum offer assistance in how to replace it. If so I will start a new thread.

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?
