Hi,
if you smell the gas it doesn't mean that igniter is working.,it means the valve is working properly.The spark module is the problem.

Thank You

Its called the ignitor & need replacement, however installation is tricky

Usually this is from moisture getting into a spark ignitor switch, which is located under your burner knobs. A pan boiling over, someone cleaning your cooktop and using a sprayer, too much water on a sponge, very high humidity, can all get moisture into a switch. Recommend you unplug your cooktop for a few days and see if your switch dries out. Plug it back in an see if it works properly again. If it doesn't then you will have to replace one, or all of the switches, depending if they come seperately or in a set. This entails removing the top of the cooktop, which can be very difficult if not impossible in some cases. Heat and corrosion go together, so in just a few years the screws or nuts that hold the burners down onto the cooktop are so corroded that you cannot remove them without chiseling the nuts off or drilling out the screws, which then damages the burner bodies underneath. Can make it unrepairable in some cases. Drying the unit out works about 80% of the time. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

Do a thorough cleanup of the burner and the igniter ... be careful to not break the ignighter.

Hi

If the burner is not burning hot, and there is a low flame then this is often a pressure regulator problem. Most often the regulator is found where the gas line enters the gas range. I have a picture of what the flame characteristics should look like. If the igniter on different burner doesn’t work, and there is no spark at that burner then you will have to check the same items as mentioned above. This is a typical spark module wire diagram.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Here is a disassembly video. A loose knob problem can be tackled by pulling off the knob, encircling the cracked plastic with a zip tie (after putting Loctite glue in the cracks), pulling the zip tight. Don't lose the sleeve when you pull off the knob. But if this is not working for your setup, here is the disassembly, not your model but maybe useful: https://www.google.com/search?q=whirlpool+gas+top+disassembly

Cleaning or replacing the grease filters in downdraft vent hood

Can you get to the switch terminals and try jumping them out with a piece of insulated wire? That would tell you if the switch is defective (my suspicion). Please be careful not to touch any live terminals - only the wire insulation you use for the jumper.

unplug it and replace the main board or get a new stove

What is the model number?

You didn't mention if it only pops when you first turn them on or that the popping is continuous. If it when you first turn them on, then I would suspect late ignition. Too much gas build-up before ignition takes place. The spark gap may need to be adjusted or the spark module replaced. If it happens continuously there may be a short in one of the switches or wiring harness.

and the problem is? please post afresh with full details

Sometimes after a power failure the p c board needs re setting. Turn off the power for a few minutes that allows it time to re set. Turn it back on then individually turn on each element for a couple of minutes.

Hi, Recheck the wiring to that switch you replaced, the light circuit was wired wrong, some switch have moved terminals on them so recheck them all. Good Luck I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

Lift the top of your stove, then look for a connector or plug, wire that has pushed up near or against the stove top. Where the wires connect to the burners one or more may be loose an needs tightening.

power off to the stove at the electrical switchboard.wait a minute then power on again, set clock again, any better?if not, call the repair man.

We discovered if you press in both the oven control knob and the temperature control knob simultaneously for several seconds, the stop message goes away and the oven returns to normal.
