[Deodiaus]

I have a kitchen gas stove which does not seem to spark properly.
I have ordered and replaced the WB13T10047 spark module twice from 2
different suppliers I found online (D&D Appliance Parts and www.repairclinic.com)
..
The stove seems simple enough, so I think spark module is the only
thing that could go wrong.
I suspect that both suppliers are using either refurbished or gray
market goods. How would I verify this?
Do you think I am wrong or just have had an incredible streak of bad
luck or can't fix a stove?

I use a wire brush on the electrode that sparks to the burner and the
burner area where it grounds, when mine fails from grease and spilled
food. Do you have 120v to the unit.

I don't mean to be nasty, but consider the balance of probabilities. Which is
more likely: *two* *different* vendors sold you the same defective part, or
you guessed wrong about the nature of the problem?

I was going to say, "you misdiagnosed the problem", but you don't appear to
have performed any actual diagnosis: "seems simple enough, so [you] think
spark module is the only thing that could go wrong..." isn't diagnosis. That's
guessing.

I know which of the two probabilities *I* think is more likely.

Do some actual diagnosis before you throw more money away. Get a multimeter
and see if there's current at the spark module. Make sure the wires to and
from the spark module are good.

Well, on the old one, all units fire when I turn on the gas.
On the new ones, only the right front unit fires, regardless of which
unit I turn on.
