The burner head screws must be reasonably tight to the burner base. All parts must be clean from grease. Proper grounding is very important and provided by a tighten screws and clean surfaces. - The ignition electrode Part number: AP3175721 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL SF378LEPS0 \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
