Spark Electrode and Lead
The ceramic insulator on the electrode often develops microscopic fractures from repeated thermal expansion and contraction. These cracks allow the high-voltage current to track to the grounded burner base before it can reach the spark gap, resulting in a failure to ignite despite the module functioning correctly. Replacing the electrode restores the dielectric integrity of the ignition path.

Spark Ignition Module
The spark module is a solid-state component that converts line voltage to high-frequency, high-voltage pulses. Over time, the internal capacitors or the potting compound can degrade due to ambient heat under the cooktop surface, leading to a weak pulse or a total failure of the capacitive discharge circuit. This results in no spark being generated at any burner or a 'clicking' sound without an actual arc.

Ignition Switch Harness
The ignition switches are mechanical contacts mounted on the burner valve stems that close when the knob is turned to the 'Lite' position. These switches are highly susceptible to ingress from liquid spills or cleaning agents, which causes corrosion or a 'sticky' contact state. If the switch fails to close, the spark module never receives the signal to initiate the ignition sequence.
