Hi,
I have an old gas range ‘HARDWICK model# CK89642K C640R “
Cannot turn the oven ON
I hear no CLICK when I turn on the oven to start the igniter,
WHAT IS WRONG?
Thanks vsuboni
We need to know what kind of ignition is in your oven. Remove the oven floor and the flame spreader to see it. Post the result. If you can post pictures, it’s even better.

Hi Gene,
Here are the pictures of the Hardwick (Model #CK89642K C640R) ignator.
Looks to me like a Regular pilot with Thermocoupling???
I hope that you can resolve this puzzle.
Thanks, vsuboni

If it does not click then the problem could be a bad ignition switch (under the oven temperature knob) or a bad spark module (under the top panel or on the back of the range). There are no diagrams available on-line for this old model and I can not give you more specific information.
The first thing I would do is find the ignition switch and bypass it. If it would click then the problem is the switch. If not, then it is the spark module.
If you can post pictures of the switch and the spark module then we probably can find a replacement parts.
Gene.

The part on the picture is the oven thermostat. The shaft on the bottom of the picture is where the switch should be. The spark module is electric part without any tubes and a few wires connected to.

Well, you found the ignition switch. Keep looking.
Gene.
Hi gene,
What you mean “keep looking?”
is that the part that I should replace?
Where do I buy it?
Thanks, Vasa Suboni
Vasa,
The part on the last picture is the ignition switch which is probably good as far as you bypassed it and the ignition did not work. Most likely the problem is a bad spark module and you did not find it yet. That’s why you have to “keep looking” for the spark module. Track these blue wires shown on the last picture.
Gene.
Hi gene,
You mean is the spark module?
Where do I find it?
Is the module under the pilot? See picture!!!
Thanks VasaSuboni

The spark module looks like a plastic box with a few wires connected. It could be under the top panel or on the range rear panel. The wires from the ignition switch should lead you there.

Yes, you found it.
The original part is no longer available but you can use the spark module made by Maytag.
- The part number for the spark module is AP379935

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]Gene, I connected the two wires on the ignition switch, would that qualify as bypass? No Klick no spark.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

If you removed these wires from the switch and connected them together then you bypassed the switch.
