Frigidaire Stove Repair in Toronto — No spark (igniter failure)

• Platform split first: 'no spark' on a Frigidaire gas range is a COOKTOP spark-ignition fault, not the oven. The Electrolux/Frigidaire EOC F-codes (F10 runaway, F30/F31 RTD open/short) are oven-side ONLY and never appear for a dead surface igniter, and the oven's flat glow-bar bake igniter (316489403) plays no part in cooktop spark. So a burner that won't spark is a silent-display, no-code job worked by isolation in a fixed order - electrode, then the per-burner switch/harness, then the shared spark module - and we never chase the EOC board for it.
• One position ticks but throws no arc (or a weak arc that won't reach the gas) while the others spark fine: the surface burner igniter electrode 316011200 (PS436633, AP2123862; replaces 5303311262) is cracked or carbon-tracked, so the high-voltage pulse leaks to ground through the hairline crack in the ceramic insulator instead of jumping the gap. Per RepairClinic/PartSelect we also pull the insulated spark lead off that electrode and watch for the spark flashing over to the stove body - a lead grounding to the chassis steals the arc the same way - before swapping the $20-$40 electrode. Single-position fix that never touches the module.
• One knob position dead with NO spark and no gas while the rest spark: that's the per-burner spark ignition switch (genuine Frigidaire 318163400; on harness-fed models the verified assembly is the Spark Ignition Switches WITH wire harness 316580615 / PS3409151, which replaces AP4566012 / 316219025 / 1614900; the Electrolux-NA equivalent 316032000 carries the Frigidaire-badged 316032002), not the electrode or module. The switch only closes at the LITE position to feed the module; a boil-over opens its contacts so that position goes dead. Per PartSelect's diagnostic order - electrode, then switches/harness, then module - we meter the switch for continuity at LITE before quoting the harness assembly.
• Whole top clicks constantly even with every knob OFF but nothing makes a usable arc: that's almost always a wet or shorted spark ignition switch (318163400 / harness assembly 316580615 / Electrolux-NA 316032000) feeding the module continuous voltage and stealing spark energy from any single light-off, NOT a dead module. Per Frigidaire/RepairClinic guidance we unplug the range and dry it 24h (or a low-heat blow-dryer around the knobs), then re-test - a $0 dry-out beats a needless module on a same-day call - and the same fault appears in the 'sparks all the time' literature.
• Every burner is dead with no spark anywhere, and the electrodes and switches test clean: now it's the shared surface burner spark module, condemned LAST. Two real modules live on this platform - 316135702 (PS2350722; replaces 316135701; supplied as current Frigidaire 5304505695) on the older sealed-burner ranges, and 808608804 (PS11770793; replaces AP6036414 / 318079001 / 4456966 / 7318079001) on the newer build - so we confirm the correct module by model/serial rather than dropping the wrong one in. RepairClinic publishes the 316135702 for the Frigidaire 'burner won't ignite' / no-spark pattern, but most 'dead module' calls are really moisture in a switch, so it's the last part off the truck.
• The high-output right-front (17K BTU) position is its own assembly: a dead-spark RF burner usually means the surface burner igniter AND orifice holder assembly 316536622 (PS2368573; replaces 316449603), which combines the electrode and the brass orifice in one part. A cracked electrode on the assembly, or a holder that no longer grounds, reads as 'RF won't spark or sparks weakly' even though the other burners arc cleanly. We confirm RF-specific behaviour and check the holder's ground path before ordering 316536622 rather than the bare 316011200 electrode.
• No spark that started right after an install, a move, or a receptacle change is a wiring-reference fault, not a failed igniter: reversed line/neutral polarity or a lost ground at the outlet gives the spark module the wrong reference, so the cooktop either won't spark or sparks continuously even when lit. InspectAPedia's gas-igniter / spark-module repair guidance documents this directly - reversed hot/neutral or a lost ground at the module desensitizes the flame-detect circuit and drives continuous sparking, so the module needs correct polarity AND an intact ground. On any post-install no-spark call we confirm hot and neutral aren't swapped and that ground is intact with a 3-light polarity tester before condemning a single ignition part - on a polarized outlet the narrow slot is hot, the wide slot is neutral, the round pin is ground.

Frigidaire no spark (igniter failure) in Toronto — the local specifics

• The recurring Frigidaire-in-Toronto pattern for no-spark is moisture, not a dead board: a boil-over or a humid kitchen wets a spark ignition switch (318163400 / harness 316580615) so the whole top either goes silent or clicks constantly with the knobs off, and it reads identically to a failed module on the bench. We dry and meter the switch before condemning either the 316135702/808608804 module. The second recurring tell is a single cracked 316011200 electrode (or the RF 17K 316536622 assembly) leaking its arc to ground - one position ticks with no flame while the rest spark clean.
• We roll to Toronto Frigidaire no-spark calls carrying the high-turn spark parts - the 316011200 surface electrode and the 318163400 spark ignition switch (plus the 316580615 switch-and-harness assembly for harness-fed models) - and a 3-light polarity tester for post-install cases. The model-coded RF 17K igniter/orifice holder 316536622 and the correct spark module (316135702/5304505695 on older builds, 808608804 on newer) we match to the model/serial and pull from local stock for the fit.
