BLUESTAR GAS RANGE BURNER SYSTEM Wont Stop Sparking

Spark Re-ignition Module

BlueStar ranges use a re-ignition module that monitors flame presence through flame rectification. If the internal circuitry of this module fails or the sensing logic is compromised, the high-voltage transformer will continue to pulse electricity to the electrodes regardless of whether a flame is present or the knob is turned off.

Burner Igniter Switch

The igniter switch sits behind the burner knob and completes the circuit to the spark module when turned to the 'Lite' position. Ingress of cleaning liquids or grease can create a conductive path inside the switch housing, creating a 'ghost' signal that tells the module to spark continuously.

Igniter Electrode

If the ceramic insulator on the electrode is cracked or the tip is heavily fouled with carbon/grease, the flame rectification signal (a tiny DC current) cannot return to the module. The module interprets this as a 'flame out' condition and continues sparking to attempt to relight the burner for safety.
