Igniter Switch Assembly
Each surface burner utilizes a switch housing that
is wired to a single harness. Inside each housing
are 2 switches. When the burner valve is advanced
from the OFF position to the LITE position, the igniter
switch closes. The closed igniter switch sends line
voltage to the spark module and all the surface
burner igniters are activated. At the same time, the
lockout error switch opens and removes previously
applied line voltage from the ERC at location IN-
WM. When the cooktop is locked out, this removed
voltage allows the ERC to display ERR and sound
a continuous error tone. Displayed ERR and tone
informs the user that it is an error to attempt to
operate the cooktop in the lockout mode.
