Dacor Cooktop ignitor

[jon_roanoke]

I have a Dacor Preference SGM365 4 burner gas cooktop. One control knob will not cause it's respective burner (or any burner) to spark. If I use another control knob, it does spark and ignite. So the ceramic ignitor works. Is the problem with the knob?

Thanks! - Jon

most likely it's the "pot switch"- potentiometer, on valve stem behind knob. need to remove front cover to access and turn off power before replacing. easy

Thanks, that may be it. I took a look at what I think is the pot switch, gently tapped it and my problem has disappeared! If it goes out again I'll replace it.
