Problem
Ignition switch shorted out from cleaning with too much liquid on the cooktop. Ordered and installed new switches, working great again. Much cheaper than buying a new oven and stove.
Tools
Nut drivers and phillips screwdriver
Repair & Advice
Shut off gas and unplug unit first, remove front screws holding on cook top and remove back of stove to access switch wires and disconnect. Unscrew burner assemblies and remove. Remove screws for ignition switches and remove top. Replace ignition switches and reassemble in reverse order.
