If your cooktop doesn’t work right, you need to find an issue and fix the problem. Most common problem of all cooktops (including Electrolux El30EC45KS) - spark igniters keep clicking, when it’s turned already. There are two possible parts that could give that problem - spark igniter switch, or spark module. Today we will talk about the spark module, and how to replace it. Before you’re starting to replace, you must prepare some tools: new spark module, 1/4-inch nut driver, screwdriver, and work gloves. Let’s start.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and then close the gas supply shut-off valve.
- Remove all the cooktop grates and then lift the gas burner caps off the burner heads. Remove the screws that hold the burner heads in place and then remove the burner heads.
- Pull the control knobs off of the burner control valves. Remove the screws that secure the main top to the top of the burner orifice holders. Lift the main top off of the cooktop and set it aside.
- Take a photo of the wires attached to the existing spark module or tag them with labeled masking tape so you can connect them correctly to the new spark module. Disconnect all the wires attached to the spark module. Release the locking tab and then remove the spark module from the mounting bracket. Discard the spark module.
- Position the new spark module on the mounting bracket and push it into place. The locking tab should snap into place when the module is in the right position. Using the digital picture or marked tape as a guide, connect the wires to the new spark module.
- Position the main top on top of the burner orifice holders. Insert and tighten the screws that secure the main top to the orifice holders. Push the control knobs on the burner control valves.
- Position the burner heads in the correct locations, screw them into place and tighten the screws firmly. Cover the burner heads with the burner caps in the correct locations. Set the grates into place on the cooktop.
- Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and open the gas shut-off valve.
