Problem
Old burners rusted out, didnt work properly. Poor flame
Tools
Used a large pair of channel locks to loosen burners as they were rusted to cooktop
Repair & Advice
The bottoms of two of the burners were perforated and rusty, I'm sure from years of cooking and cleaning. This caused an irregular flame. I used a large pair of channel lock pliers to grip the burners to remove them, as I couldn't move them because of all the rust build up between the burners and cook top. I would recommend simply pulling the burners up off the cook top and cleaning under them regularly. Im sure it would prolong the life of the burner.

Flames coming out from bottom of burners and ignition not working
Tools
Channel Locks, utility knife blade, and female spade terminal
Repair & Advice
My wife was complaining that the flame was coming out from underneath the burner as well as from the desired location. After my inspection and use, I found that from the many years of cleaning, sometimes with bleach, the bottoms of the burners were rusting out. I also found that the ignitor had a crack in the ceramic and therefore the spark was happening under the burner and not outside of the burner , not igniting the gas.
After I received the 4 new burners, I had to use channel locks to spin the old ones, due to the rust accumulation, in order to remove. Once freed, I noted which color wire went to which connection and then I pried the spade connections off with a screw driver to try to prevent breaking them, even though I still had to repair one.
I then had to utilized a utility blade to scrape and remove rust and debris that had accumulated between the burner and stove top. Once cleaned, I reattached connections, and reinstalled with a quarter turn and tested.
Thanks for the replacement part, it sure made for a happy wife
