How to replace an Ignition module?
Wondering for a solution on how to replace an ignition module? Before we to the details, let's see what the ignition module is. It is a part of the ignition system where it controls the electricity that flows through the ignition coil so that it can generate the right amount of voltage for the spark plug to ignite the fuel mixture.
In general, it is fixed in the topmost area of the engine and it has the resistance to protect it from heat. When ignition fails in kitchen equipment there is no need to replace the complete equipment. A change in the ignition would be fine.
Let's look deeper:
Lets us assume you have already purchased a suitable or relevant Ignition Module Replacement. Now you are willing to change the ignition module. A small suggestion from our end is to always call an expert technician as they know the terms well inside the equipment.
Please follow the below rules for your safety, if you decided to do the job by yourself:
- Check the warranty of your previous/present ignition module
- Disconnect the power/switch off any kind of electric power
- Unplug all the cords related to the equipment
- Wear electric-resistant hand gloves and boots to merge with any kind of situation and safety
- Make sure you have a circuit tester with you
- A handy screwdriver
- Ceramic wires
- If needed, an electric wrap tape
Considering an Example, You have a problem with your oven as we use it very often. The ignition module has to be replaced for it. Make sure there is no power supply and open the oven door and remove the racks depending on the size of the oven,
Take the screwdriver and on the backside, you can find the screws and you can remove the plate. There you can find the ignition module. Having a doubt about how the ignition module looks like? You have the new one with you to compare that and you can find it easily. Any ignition module is designed in a similar way.
Find the ignition module and remove it very carefully, and also make sure to install the new ignition module into it the same way you removed it but without disturbing any other wires.
Keep the new one in the same position just like the old one, fix if any screws are required, any wires are needed to be joined. Use the ceramic wires if needed. If here are any plugs to be attached to the ignition module make sure you put them in the same valve.
Arrange the plate of the oven the way you removed it and make sure the screws are fixed correctly. Rearrange the oven in the same way.
When you are sure that you have done everything correctly, switch on the oven. Check the performance of the oven in how much time it's getting hot. If you have performed all the activities clearly and correctly it's good to work.
TIP: Old ignition module will take time to perform actions, whereas the new ignition module will do it quickly.
Example: Reheat option in the oven, with the old one it may take time to reheat the substances vs new one can do it faster. Please observe it.

Below we have mentioned the technical way for your queries.
There are some examples, where you can sense that your ignition control module is bad. There can be a misfire in the ignition module, control module wouldn’t start, engine stalling, no signs of intermittent engines that should be started.
On the ignition module, you generally find the power supply symbols which are 24V, 24V. when the power button is pressed and the power supply started and the ignition module will start to spark, and also simultaneously there is another one called on the top of 24V, which means power valve which will come to active state.
The power will transfer through PV wire rather than the 24V wire to the gas wire. While the power is sent to the gas wire the PV will start to spark, then the pilot ignites which is right next to the gas valve. If this happens it’s a clear show that your ignition control module is in a bad state, and it surely needs a replacement.
There is another way to find the ignition control module is bad.

When you have issues with your commercial kitchen equipment it would be the fault of the ignition module first. A change in the ignition module will help you to get back your equipment to a better state. Check on that and make a replacement, check the warranty of the previous one as well.
