Re: [Appliances] Gas Stove - should it really be doing this?on my 10 year old gas stove only the soecific ignitor sparts when you put it to "ignite" on the nob. |

Evidently your manufacturer hires electricians who can keep their ducks er I mean wires in order. I would not knwo where they buy different colors of spark plug wires.
If you really think about it, a spark coil that fires 2 spark plugs in series has to develop twice as much voltage but the same current. Some automobile engines have individual spark coils 1 per spark plug and the coil goes right over the spark plug NO external spark plug wires.
I guess it is six of one thing and half a dozen of the other. Someof it depends upon design philosophy. |

Our dual fuel GE does that, too. As did the one (Kitchen Aid?) we had in Illinois.
Not a problem! |

Re: [Appliances] Re: Gas Stove - should it really be doing this?said by tao:My Whirlpool stove does not do that, and that reads to me like a hazard. Someone could get burned by the spark even without gas flow. Well sir, you'd better never purchase a commercial gas stove since the vast majority of those use a [GASP] live, standing gas pilot!!! If you could get burned by that puny-assed piezoelectric spark, chances are good you'd just plain incinerate yourself into a ball of flame with a standing pilot...  |

Re: [Appliances] Gas Stove - should it really be doing this?said by cypherstream:My GE does the same thing. Just did a quick experement. Turned a burner on fast to go past the ignition and allow gas to come out. Turned on a different burner and as soon as I got past the “LITE” on the knob and there was one spark, the first burner I turned on lit up.
Must have been easier to wire up that way. Phooey, that's not an experiment, you should have turned the first burner and let the gas flow for a few minutes, then sparked the burners. That way you could determine how far the range will move from the wall under such forces and how many cabinets it will knock off the wall and down to the floor in the process. Now that's a true experiment. And if you are married it will so seriously impress your wife, she will probably forgive you for no longer having any hair on your body above your waist.  |

said by tao:Cheaper to wire that way. The wiring is the same but it cost of coils. |

said by mc5w:It is also MORE RELIABLE to wire a gas stove this way so that first 2 of the burners get a spark and then the next 2 get a spark. This way high voltage spark plug wiring does not have to match control signals from each gas valve. You want the natural gas or propane to ignite reliably. Maybe but most ranges are supplied with a single igniter for all the burners. |

Na not happening, with a standing pilot the burners just light up. It's hard to play games with them as there are designed to be used in commercial kitchens, where ignorance is the norm. |

The same technology is used in stick lighters. yes i am aware how it works, but it also does multiple ignites "click, click, click" so its got an electronic ignition apparently cus my stove uses hydro for the controls and buttons and displays, but when i unplug it or the hydro goes out, i have to light it with a bbq lighter |
