Diagnostics
Unplug cooktop or disconnect power before performing 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 rework a
harness.
■ Resistance checks must be made with power cord unplugged from
outlet, and with wiring harness or connectors disconnected.
Troubleshooting
Unplug cooktop or disconnect power before performing the following checks. Reassemble all parts and panels before operating.
Problem Possible Cause Action
No spark when any control is turned 1. No power to unit. 1. Check that power is on.
2. Control connection not correctly plugged in. 2. Check connector for contamination or loose
connections.
3. Bad ground connection. 3. Check all ground connections for continuity.
4. Burners not properly grounded. 4. Check ground continuity.
5. Spark leads damaged, sparking onto nearby
metal.
5. Visually check in dimmed light for sparking to
nearby metal.
6. Grease or dirt buildup around electrode. 6. Clean and dry electrode and cap.
7. Spark gap to burner cap not correctly set. 7. Check that the cap is correctly seated on burner.
8. Switch gas valve fails. 8. Check the switch gas valves and wire connections.
