Friday my wife called me at work saying the oven wouldn’t light, and I just got around to checking it out this morning. The oven ignitor sparked 3 times (not long enough to light) then nothing. So I tried the Broiler, it clicked and lit right up, then I tried the oven again and no clicks. Then tried the broiler again and no clicks. Is it possible/likely that both ignitors decided to die at the same time or it something else?
Thanks for any replies

Hi Greg,
Most likely the problem is a bad spark module (inside the control panel). It comes with the installation instructions.

Thanks Gene, I found a tech guide online and just finished the ac/dc voltage tests, and sure enough it’s a bad spark moudule. Thank you for the part number. It looks easy enough to replace.
Greg
Keep us posted.
Gene.
So the new spark module showed up today and I installed it…No dice. Did a complete diagnosis (following the flow chart) not just diagnosing the spark module. Now it looks like the spark module was ok, and I need a new gas control valve. Can you refrence that part for me?

page 23/24’s flow chart. My wife thinks I should call an appliance repair guy, and now that I am this far in I don’t want to. It’s a new challenge.
Thanks for any info.

Here’s a link to all the parts for this range in case this helps anyone else in my shoes later on.

Just ordered my part. Will keep you posted.

Did you check the valve/regulator as described in your manual on page 17?
Gene.
All fixed. The long and short of the whole thing is, the first time I did the electrical diagnosis I started diagnosing the problem at the spark module as opposed to starting at the beginning and working through all of the potential bad parts. Now I have a new spark module to keep track of until it decides to go bad. Thanks for the help

Greg,
I’m glad you were able to fix it.
