# GE gas range igniter and burner repair

What this involves

A glowing igniter can still be a failed one

Clicking burners are usually the electrode or moisture

Measured with a meter, not judged by eye

Measure the igniter's current draw

The whole point: it must pull enough to open the safety valve. Glow is not proof.

Check the valve and the safety

Only after the igniter, because it is the more expensive and less likely of the two.

On surface burners, dry and clean first

Persistent clicking after a spill is usually moisture or debris around the electrode, not a module.

Test every burner and the oven together

A spark module serving several burners fails as a group, and that pattern is the diagnosis.

What GE range igniter replacement involves

The igniter is measured for the current it draws rather than judged by whether it glows, because it has to pull enough to open the safety valve and a weak one does neither.

Every burner tested, not only the one

A spark module serving several burners fails as a group, and the pattern across all of them is what separates a module from an electrode.
