Mark Brazis - For model number SC8640EDQ3

February 4, 2020

I need to replace the spark module on my Whirlpool gas stove, but can't figure out how to remove the cover to get to the spark module.This stove has four sealed burners and i was told to turn them counter clockwise to remove, but mine don't turn at all. Thanks for your help.

Hello Mark, thank you for your question. For the cooktop units, the easiest way to replace the spark module, per other customers, is to remove the unit from the countertop and turn it over after removing the caps and grates. The bottom cover can be removed and the spark module replaced from that area. I hope this helps.

I went online and discovered the repair method and schematic of the range. I removed the spark module after first removing the upper rear panel cover and replaced with the new part module ordered from your company and now the spark module operates all the gas elements when they are turned on thus lighting the gas burners.
