Hello APPRos!
I was cleaning the cooktop with a small scrub brush around the knobs and water must have seeped down toward on of the valves #315 in the exploded diagram, and suddenly the tick-tick-ticking started by itself, all the knobs in off position, and seconds later I saw flames shooting from under the main-top asm in a circle around the gas knob. :eek:
I unplugged the power & turned off gas for safety. Now if I reconnect power and turn another gas knob not associated with the first one flames were shooting, I get the same flames at the bad knob, so this must be a bad harness switch or spark module, since they're all tied together.
That said (1) what parts do you suggest I replace? and (2) do the gas-valves need replacing too, since it was the harness or spark module that's bad.
Remember the flames only come out of the bottom left knob #315.:cool:
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Digi, Your deffinitely going to need the igniter switch harness, Part number: AP3777963
Sounds like you really shorted out the switch. Even so, in most cases, there is, no to very little damage to the burner valve or gas supply lines. Good Luck and Thanks, :) :) :)
