One of the most common problem of all types of cooktops - it’s a problem with igniting. Today we will discuss how to fix this problem on the cooktop - GE Monogram ZGU364NDTSS. Probably the problem could be solved by replacing such an element as a spark igniter switch. It’s not difficult. All you need is to follow our simple guide. Before starting prepare some tools: spark igniter switch, 1/4-inch nut driver, screwdriver, work gloves. Let’s begin!
- Shutting off power and gas. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and then close the gas supply shut-off valve.
- Removing the burner heads. 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.
- Removing the main top. 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.
- Removing the spark igniter switches. 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. Remove the bushings from the stems of the burner control valves. Pull the spark igniter switches off of the burner control valves. Remove the switch and harness assembly from the cooktop and discard it.
- Installing new spark igniter switches. Push the new switches onto the stems of the burner control valves. Reinstall the bushings on the burner control valve stems. Using the digital picture or marked tape as a guide, connect the wires to the new spark module.
- Reinstalling the main top. 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.
- Reinstalling the burner heads. 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 in place on the cooktop.
- Reconnecting gas and power. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and open the gas shut-off valve.
Done! Problem with igniting must be solved. If this doesn't work, there could be a defective part that requires a replacement, and you may need to consult a professional.
