WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
DIAGNOSTICS
Disconnect power and perform the following checks:
■ A potential cause of a control not functioning is corrosion on connections.
Observe connections and check for continuity with an ohmmeter.
■ All tests/checks should be made with a VOM or DVM having a sensitivity
of 20,000 ohms per volt DC or greater.
■ Check all connections before replacing components, looking for broken or
loose wires, failed terminals, or wires not pressed into connectors far
enough. Damaged harness must be entirely replaced. Do not re-work a
harness.
■ Resistance checks must be made with power cord unplugged from outlet,
and with wiring harness or connectors disconnected.
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damage or weaken the
electronic control assembly. The new control assembly may appear to work
well after repair is finished, but failure may occur at a later date due to ESD
stress.
■ Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground
connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance
-OR-
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance.
■ Before removing the part from its package, touch
the anti-static bag to a green ground connection point or
unpainted metal in the appliance.
■ Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle
electronic control assembly by edges only.
■ When repackaging failed electronic control assembly in
anti-static bag, observe above instructions.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
No spark when any control is turned.
No spark when one control knob is
turned.
Power to ignition unit is OK.
One electrode is not sparking.
Intermittent sparking after ignition.
Sparking occurs and burner does not
light.
Continual sparking after ignition.
FOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN’S USE ONLY
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. No power to unit.
2. Control connection not correctly plugged in.
3. Transformer not properly working.
4. Bad ground connection.
5. Burners not properly grounded.
6. Spark leads damaged, sparking onto nearby metal.
7. Grease or dirt build-up around electrode.
8. Spark gap to burner cap not correctly set.
1. Bad connection to switch harness or faulty reignition
control board.
1. Faulty spark lead/electrode or faulty ignition unit.
1. Generally the cause is a bad ground which can be
caused by a build-up of cooking oils, solids,
cleansers, etc.
2. Burner ports blocked.
3. Low micro amp reading.
4. Spark gap to burner cap not correctly set.
5. Faulty reignition control board.
1. No gas to appliance.
2. Burner not correctly seated.
3. Burner port wet or dirty.
1. Electrode wire does not correspond to relevant
reignition control board output.
2. Burner ports blocked or wet and not allowing
electrode to sense the current.
3. Spark gap to burner not correctly set.
4. Bad ground connection.
5. Faulty electrode.
6. Transformer not properly working.
7. Faulty reignition control board.
PAGE 3
ACTION
1. Check power is on.
2. Check connector for contamination or loose connections.
3. Check transformer coil resistances according to transformer table,
page 4.
4. Check all ground connections for continuity.
5. Check ground continuity.
6. Visually check in dimmed light for sparking to nearby metal.
7. Clean and dry electrode and cap.
8. Check if cap is correctly seated on burner.
1. Check to ensure switch harness connection is OK.
2. Check if wires are correctly attached to switch.
3. Check switch is correctly assembled on gas valve shaft.
4. Replace switch harness if necessary.
1. Easy check: To determine if ignition unit or lead is faulty, swap
spark lead to another terminal and check for spark.
1. Clean and dry all parts. Ensure burner is correctly seated.
2. Clean and dry burner and electrode. Remember: flame must be near
electrode to sense current.
3. The unit will not spark if the current sensed by the reignition control
board drops below a certain level. This generally occurs at simmer or
when the flame is unstable due to winds, etc. Check on high power if
sparking stops. Adjust gas valve regulation screws. Clean and dry
burner and elctrode.
4. Check if cap is correctly seated on burner. Check electrode integrity.
5. Replace after checking all the above.
1. Verify proper gas supply.
2. Check and test.
3. Clean and dry. Also clean electrode.
1. Check if the electrode wire is assembled according to electrode map
assembly instructions located close to reignition control board.
2. Clean and dry ports and electrodes.
3. Check if cap is correctly seated on burner.
4. Check all ground connections for continuity.
5. Verify electrode integrity.
NOTE: The unit may still spark even if the spark lead is faulty, but it will
not detect flame.
6. Check transformer coil resistances according to transformer table,
page 4.
7. Replace and test (only after checking all of the above).
