The 2 left burners do not come on, no gas flow to the burners, spark igniter continues to spark at all 4 burners. The 2 right burners come on but the igniters continue sparking at all 4 burners. To solve the problem temporarily, I have disconnected the igniter switches on the 2 right burners and and light them manually. after disconnecting the 2 right igniters, I turned on the 2 left burners and the igniters continue to spark but no gas flow. A repairman is trying to unscrew the venturi to get to the solenoid, but he has not been successful in removing the venturi. His next suggestion is to cut the burners bases with a torch to try to remove the venturi! Could this be a potentiameter problem that can be solved from the front panel? Or is it necessary to get into the spark module, solenoid, and simmer control and valves inside.

You need to use a 3/4" drill bit to drill out the venturi tubes. Only drill enought to remove the bolt like top and then use a screwdriver and happer to rid yourself of what is left overhanging. then, remove the top plates and then you can removed the top piece to gain access to the spark control module. Sounds like that is the problem.

By the way, how did you remove the front panel to gain access to the spark switch near the potentiometer? Does it pull off after removing the bottom screws or do you need to remove something from the top?

Greetings. I have never posted like this before. But thought I would give a try. It seems to be the only thing I reference to my problem Thermodore gps364gls

My left 2 burners are not working. Yes the dimmer thing. Purchased the potentiometer for both and the spark module. Well I had the whole unit out and trying to find a way to replace the spark module. But to no avail. I am trying to figure out on how to get into there.

The prior post said something about drilling out the venture tube. I am assuming this is necessary because the tube is too tight. But is this necessary method in order to get to the spark module? This is where I am looking for some help.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I know older unit but would rather fix than replace. Cost factor.

Thanks, Paul
