I have a Thermador PCS484GG cooktop that’s having ignition problems. The configuration is four star burners, a grill and a griddle.
I was having problems with the four star burners igniting so I’ve just replaced…
[LIST]The control unit (BSH p/n 00422882)
The fixing unit (BSH p/n 00753257)
The simmer burner potentiometers (2x BSH p/n 00422748)
The wiring between the fixing unit and each of the four igniters
[/LIST]
I figured while I had it apart, I’d replace the igniters too, but the wrong parts were sent.
I’m still having issues. I don’t seem to get reliable "spark" each time I try to ignite a burner.
Right two (non-simmer) burners…
[INDENT]Will ignite with a lighter but the cooktop spark will not ignite the burners. Once the burners are lit with a lighter, the ignition source continually provides spark to the igniters even though the burners are burning.[/INDENT]
Left front (simmer) burner…
[INDENT]It will light with the igniters and the simmer function is also working. Like the right (non-simmer) burners, when the burner is burning, the igniters continuously try light the burner.
[/INDENT]
Left rear (simmer) burner…
[INDENT]Initially seemed to be working normally (i.e. would light, simmer and no continuous ignition attempts) but when it was operating in simmer mode, I also put the left front burner in simmer mode. Now the left rear burner will not ignite at all - even with a lighter.[/INDENT]
I guess it’s possible that I received a faulty part but if not, I’m at a complete loss.
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
