Whirlpool w11578849 Spark Module Gas Cooktop

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w11578849 is a genuine OEM spark module designed to control the ignition sequence on gas cooktops and ranges. The spark module receives a signal from the igniter switch and delivers high-voltage pulses to the spark electrodes at each burner, producing the spark that lights the gas. This component is the electrical heart of the surface ignition system. Installation is typically performed by an appliance technician or a qualified service pro comfortable working with 120-volt appliance wiring. When the module fails, one or more burners may spark continuously, fail to spark at all, or spark without a switch being activated.

The w11578849 spark module is suited for residential gas cooking appliances where the OEM ignition module has failed or been damaged. Common symptoms that lead to replacement include a clicking burner that will not stop, no spark response at one or multiple burners, or a visibly burned or cracked module board. This part is a direct OEM replacement sourced from WHIRLPOOL, ensuring correct fit and function for the intended application.
