I did not take everything apart like she did. I ordered the spark module and just replaced it following her method to take off the back, switch the wires to the new module, then put everything back together again.
All burners have been working perfectly since the fix.

This burner head, or surface burner, is used in ranges and ovens. The burner sends gas through the holes and slots to create an equal flame across the cooking area. If the gas igniter glows but will not light up, or there are heating inconsistencies, replacing the burner head could be the solution to your problem. No tools are required for this installation. To change the burner, first lift the grate and take the burner cap off. Next, lift the burner away from the cooktop. To set the new burner in place correctly, check the locating tab that fits into the V-shaped notch and make sure the igniter fits into the cut-out. Refer to the diagram provided by the manufacturer for further instructions.
