Frigidaire Oven Spark Module Replacement — What This Part Does
The spark module is the ignition control that receives line power and sends timed high-voltage spark output to each of your range’s surface burners. When you turn a knob, the module fires the igniter at that burner so gas lights immediately. The module typically controls all four burners from a single electronic board.
Modules fail internally from heat cycles, voltage spikes, or age. When the board fails, one or more burners lose spark even though gas flows normally and the rest of the range works fine. Loose wire connections at the module or damaged igniter terminals can create the same symptom, so checking those first saves time and money.
Signs It Needs Replacing
- No spark at one or more burners You turn the knob and gas flows, but the igniter does not click or spark at all.
- Intermittent sparking The igniter clicks on and off randomly, or only sparks after you turn the knob several times.
- Burner lights only after repeated attempts You have to turn the knob on and off multiple times before the burner finally ignites.
- All burners lose spark at once None of the four burners produce any click or spark, which points directly to module failure rather than individual igniters.
- Clicking continues after burner is lit The spark module does not sense flame and keeps sending spark after the burner has already ignited.
- Spark at some burners but not others Two burners spark normally while the other two do not, which can indicate a partially failed module or loose terminal connections.
How to Replace It
- Disconnect electrical power at the breaker or wall plug, then shut off the gas supply valve to the range.
- Remove all grates, burner caps, and burner heads from the cooktop.
- Take a photo of the wire connections at the spark module before you touch anything, so you can match each lead to its numbered terminal later.
- Remove the screws or fasteners securing the cooktop panel or rear access cover, depending on your model, to expose the spark module.
- Inspect the wire harness and each igniter lead at the module for loose, corroded, or misplaced connections, and reseat any suspect wires before condemning the module.
- If connections are good and the symptom persists, unplug the wire harness from the old module and remove the mounting screws or release the locking tabs to free the module from its bracket.
- Install the new spark module in the same position, secure it with screws or tabs, then reconnect each wire lead to the correct numbered terminal using your photo as a guide.
- Reinstall the cooktop panel or access cover, replace burner heads, caps, and grates in reverse order, then restore gas and electrical power.
- Test spark at each burner by turning the knob to ignite, and verify that all four burners light promptly and that clicking stops after flame is established.

When to Call a Pro
Call a pro if you are not comfortable working with both gas and electrical systems at the same time, or if restoring power and testing spark near an open gas line makes you uneasy. Also call for help if you replace the module and reconnect all wires correctly but still have no spark at any burner, because the fault may be upstream in the range’s power supply or main control board. If only one burner fails to spark after module replacement, the problem is usually a cracked porcelain igniter or damaged wire at that burner, and a technician can diagnose and replace the igniter safely. For gas line, burner, or igniter work, or if you ever smell gas, stop and call a licensed technician.
