Excellent video. To add to it - I was about to order the switches, each one cost $25 for my JGP336BED1BB, then I had this idea, how about I clean them first? So I clean them with baking soda + vinegar + dishwashing soap - my stove is as good as new.
Funny way to prove it is not igniter module :) Positioning of switches really does not make any difference. Any of the switches turns on all igniters on the stove. If switch is defective it will either ignite all burners all the time or will not ignite any ever. Positioning of it has no relevance and does not prove anything. Otherwise video is great and very helpful. Thank you.
I have a gas cooktop stove by Magic Chef model CGC2536ADQ, I just replaced the switch wire (igniter switch assembly) because one burner would not spark when I turned the knob and it had to be lit with a match. Now that the wire harness has been replaced they all spark when you turn any knob but they will not ignite even though I can smell the gas, unless I light it with a match or lighter. Why won't they ignite anymore? I got one burner to ignite one time so far after playing around with it. Is there still air in the gas line that needs to purge?
I saved $50 +++ by popping open the faulty switch, cleaning it and giving the metal tab a slight bend to improve contact. Good as new. Those $50 harnesses must cost all of 4 dollars to manufacture. What a scam! It pays to have the curiosity to take things apart and see how they work.
Thanks to your post .I did the same .did all the switches. Good.as new .pryed them open with a metal pick and put a little belly on the outside contact .snapped them back together and good as new
You did a great job here, but sometimes when I do it, the screws that hold the burners onto the stove top, break. The heads pop off and the threaded screw part stays inside the base. Then you got a real big problem. Any ideas or tricks on how to get those screws out when they are basically "fused" together with the top?
Best thing I can say is to spray wd-40 first and let them soak. To get them out,might have to buy a screw extractor set www.amazon.com/Screw-Extractor-Remove-Easily-Damaged/dp/B07N2YQ4Q4/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=screw+extractor+set&qid=1552786004&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Snap off one if them ,then pre drill and use a small hex head self tapping metal screw do one first so other one holds it in place while you drill .then just do the other one .use small head screws .mine were a little to big and plate that lays on top wasn't sitting flush .so I just put my biggest bit 1/2 and held it tight and opened up the back of the plate a little .it's aluminum so eats it up fast .it was enough to sit flush .easy peasy
Unlpug it first off. Turn off the gas. Get a shop vac and vacuum all the water asap. If possible,get a compressor with the air hose,blow every hole and crevice that you can. If it's been a while,might have corroded any electrial parts.
When I try to lite the stove top the circut breaker trips. Spill near control knob and slid paper towel under knob caused a fire type flash and breaker tripped. Left it dry and still happens.
Nobody covers if all the burners don't click, nobody shows you how to fix that. It's always one burner not working. One burner everybody's one burner. I've got all the burners not clicking

Yeah and I even said that 0:40 .
Lol. Brain dead moment for me I suppose
Good job! I’m going to do this on my stove.
great tip video. we just bought our Kenmore about a year and the igniter already goes bad for one of the pits. is that normal?
Sadly yes. All the new stuff seems to be going out within a year.

I have the same burner not working and the knob size is bigger than the other knobs, so I couldn’t swap the modules for testing.
superb vid, G
Good sir

Frigidaire really went out of their way to make this cumbersome.

That just happened to me lol

To get them out,might have to buy a screw extractor set

What do i do if i spilt a bucket of water on my stove what do i need to do
Unlpug it first off.
Turn off the gas.
Get a shop vac and vacuum all the water asap.
If possible,get a compressor with the air hose,blow every hole and crevice that you can.

Bad camera work
When I try to lite the stove top the circut breaker trips. Spill near control knob and slid paper towel under knob caused a fire type flash and breaker tripped. Left it dry and still happens.
Any idea how old the circuit breaker is?
Nice video engineer
Continuous parking cooktop this is problem
Bought the same thing on Amazon, Nov 30, 2021 a little over $50.00.
Nobody covers if all the burners don't click, nobody shows you how to fix that. It's always one burner not working. One burner everybody's one burner. I've got all the burners not clicking
At 1:49 my screw broke head broke off at one of the front burners..SOB.
Please record the video once again with camera focusing on the right place
Agree...difficult to follow
Burner white pieces can not be repaired by cleaning
