This is a surface burner igniter, also known as a top burner ignitor and stove top spark electrode. It is used to generate the spark that lights the surface burner. If your stove will not start, element does not heat, or gas igniter glows but does not light, replacing the igniter can solve these issues. For this installation, you will need a Phillips screwdriver and needle nose pliers. First place the grate on top of the burner, then lift the burner and disconnect the wires. Next remove the two Phillips screws from the bottom of burner, pull igniter out of the burner and wiggle in the new one. Refer to the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for more instructions.

It works!
Getting ready to sell an 18 yr old home with a Jennaire. One set of burners didn’t work so I replaced it with the bbq unit. A week later I took the unit apart and figured out igniters were bad. Got new ones, installed them and took unit back to home. It worked! Now I don’t feel guilty for a stove that wasn’t totally there.

Top gas burners would not ignite
Removed Stove cartridge from stove-top.
Unfastened bottom screws, I recall 6.
Removed cover.
Removed two screws to igniter.
Used needle nose pliers to remove connectors x 2.
Had to drill to enlarge the mounting screws to new ignitor, then screwed it in place
Connected the t
... Read morewo wires to each igniter.
Back burner would not light. Flame under front burner.
Because the stove is over 10 years old the screws were very hard to loosen up and I needed to use WD 40 several times to loosen them,after that it was a snap for a 71-year-old woman.
The front burner had a noticible flame coming from the base, so I originally purchased a single burner to replace it (you could see a corroded hole at the bottom). Upon taking the unit apart, I noticed the corrosion was much worse than met the eye. Given the age of the unit and that some parts were already becoming discontinued I decided
... Read moreto gut the whole thing and replace it all. The burner unit slides out easily and after unscrewing the sides, you have to disconnect the wires from the underside of the igniters. The venturi tubes and igniters then unscrew from the underside of the burners which twist right out of the assembly. Re-Assembly is very intuitive looking at it and it all goes right back together as it came out. Took 45 minutes total and that includes fighting with some screws that had rusted onto the burner. Reading some of the previous reviews, current prices are double to triple what other people did the repair for leading me to believe parts won't be available for much longer. Make the repair while you still can!
The igniter of the burner was worn out of constant use.
First I did was to google the problem I have. There several video how to solve the problem. It show me different ways to solve my problem. I just follow the instructions. Thank to google without it, I am lost. I may add, that google is a big saver for me.

Igniter on burner
Firmly grasp burner turn counter clockwise while lifting. Photograph the location of the wires. Remove with a Phillips head screwdriver. The igniter will lift and turn one quarter turn then pull through bottom. Reverse the steps to install the new igniter. Test knew igniter. Put tools away
Watched u tube video as supplied and followed instructions. Had trouble getting burners off so cleaned around edge of burners with fine bladed knife as suggested by other forum user and used oil filter type wrench to remove burner. There are three bumps on burner that hold it in place so need to turn anti clockwise to remove.

Simply remove the box containing the two right burners. Access the igniter by removing about 8 screws and pull the coupler for the igniter off with a pair of needel nose pliers.

Installed top burner igniter and can't get spark .Other burner works fine .Could new part be defective any ideas
For model number jdg8130ads
Hello Roi, thank you for contacting us. The electrode only makes the spark, unless it was corroded it would not be defective. Its the part that sends the spark to the electrode. The part you would need is a spark module PS11744058 Hope this helps!
Electricity not going to one of the igniters.Are both on same circut or seperate do i need new prong electrode and wire

Our jenn air gas range has two burners that won't light. Do we need to replace both ignitors? They quit working at the same time? Or could there be another problem?
For model number JDS9860ACB
Hello Derrik, thank you for inquiring. You will need to replace the Spark Igniter Set, part number PS11744110 for your model range. Good luck with your repair!

One burner will not auto light but the burner behind it will. When i turn the dial to ignite there is no clicking sound.
For model number JGD8345ADB
Hi Debby, thank you for your question. There are a couple of parts to check in this case. First you should check your burner electrode. Then you should take a look at your igniter switches/harness. If those parts are fine then you may have to look into your spark module being the issue. We hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I was cleaning up my stove (jenn air/Maytag jds9860acp) and somehow two burners on same side did now start afterwards. I thought the igniters were somehow damaged because of wet. Bought two new ones and installed. Still did not work. The igniter module is fine for sure because other two burners work just fine. What is the mysterious thing and how I can fix this problem. Thanks!
For model number JDS9860ACP
Hello Shengli, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the Igniter Switch PartSelect Number PS11744350. These sit behind the knobs on the valve. Check the switch to see if it has continuity in the light position. Hope this helps!
Thank you for your reply. The igniter switch must be good because the good burners work at both left and right sides. I believe the voltage is there at the ignitor and the gap looks good as well. But just no sparks. Can you please advise? Thank you!
For model number JDS9860ACP
Hi Shengli, I could only recommend to replace the burner igniters on the non-working burners. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

I replaced the top burner igniter but still did not spark
For model number MGR5752BDQ
Hello and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty spark module PS2086288 you should check the part(s) for signs of damage or test with a multimeter, and replace the part(s) as needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
Neither of the burners on the right side will ignite. Neither of them have the necessary "clicking" sound when I turn the knob to the lighting position. They are getting gas. Both burners on the left side work fine. Thanks for your help.
For model number JDS9860AAP
Hi Sue, Thank you for the question. If the switch behind the knob is not making the click when the knob is turned they may need to be replaced. The switches are all attached to harness,PartSelect Number PS11744350. You can test the switches with a multi meter. The switch should have continuity when it is in the light position. Hope this helps!
