Jenn-Air Cooktop Igniter Replacement

Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)

Hi:

I believe that 1 or 2 of my igniters are bad on my Jenn-Air cooktop. They sometimes keep clicking after the the burner ignites or keep clicking after another burner ignites (not the same burner).

The igniters are pretty cheap about $13. But how do I replace?

Do I take the nut of the top of the burner (gas) or do I need to take out the pan? If it is the pan that needs to be removed, I have already tried taking out all the screws, but it will not separate from the trim. Do I need to lift the whole unit out?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

More likely the problem is a bad spark module. You can find the instructions in the [B]Service manual[/B].

Here are the breakdown diagrams and http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=44995

Gene, is there I way I can get access to the manual? The link does not work anymore. I would like to replace my igniters, but cant figure how!

Sorry for the broken link. The access to this manual is not available anymore.

What is the complete model number of your stove and what seems to be a problem?

Gene.

Gene,
Thanks for the reply. My model # is CVGX2423B. My problem is identical to that faced by bmmiller139. Specifically, one of my igniters is bad, but I cant seem to be able to remove it. I tried removing the pan by removing the screws along the sides (see picture "pan screws"), but the pan remains stubbornly attached. I tried removing the nut that is attached to the burner base (see picture burner base nut), but it refused to budge. Just in case that particular nut was a problem, I tried loosening the nut on the other bases, but had the same problem. If I can somehow get under the burner base, I think I would be able to get the igniter out.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am having the same problem and have tried the same things. Have you found a solution?

Hello, I need to replace a spark module under the burner base on the same model. Did the same steps as you. Did you figure out how to remove the base for access? Thanks.
