W10860916 Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Spark Module – Fix Your Gas Range With Burners That Won't Ignite, Click Constantly, Spark Weakly, or Have No Spark at All

W10860916 Whirlpool Range Surface Burner Spark Module – The direct fix for a Whirlpool gas range with surface burners that won't ignite (no spark when knob is turned to "Lite"), click constantly and won't stop (even when all knobs are in the Off position), produce a weak spark that won't ignite the gas, have intermittent ignition (sparks sometimes but not consistently), or have no clicking sound at all when turned to "Lite."

The spark module is the electronic ignition unit that generates the high-voltage spark pulses needed to light each gas burner. When it fails, one or more burners lose their ability to ignite electronically.

Common failures include: complete module failure (no spark on any burner — all burners dead), single-output failure (one burner won't spark but others work — one output channel on the module has failed), continuous sparking (module fires nonstop even with all knobs off — internal short or moisture damage), and weak spark (module produces a spark but it's too weak to jump the electrode gap and ignite gas).

If all burners lost spark simultaneously, the module has failed. If one burner lost spark while others still work, the module may have a failed output channel, or the individual electrode or wire for that burner may be damaged.
