Viking range VGIC485GQ New Igniter won’t stop - I’ve checked everything!

We have an older Viking range. VGIC485GQ. It has 4 burners and a griddle and a grill. The right side pair of burners and grill use the same igniter module and the left pair of burners have the same module.

The right side burners stopped igniting. They would sometimes emit a weak spark or none. So I bought a new Viking module (pa020041) It is a newer module that has replaced the old one.

I installed and all of the 3 igniters are firing but it won’t stop. If I ignite the two burners, after 2-10 seconds it stops igniting. But starts again if I shut one off.

I made sure that on the module, input one and output one go to the same igniter (the outputs are reverse order of the original one).

There are 4 inputs and outputs. One input is open. The corresponding output is grounded.

I have taken apart everything and cleaned every ground path and even run extra grounds to make sure they are good.

I have inspected and checked every wire for breaks or shorts and they are all checking fine.

I actually exchanged the igniter because I could come up with no other explanation and am having the same issue.

Maybe I have the wrong igniter module??

I can’t think of any other possible explanation.
Please help!!

Stove not pre heating

my 5 year old Kitchenaid Range will not pre heat properly, it heats up to only about 260 Degree in 1/2 Hr. instead of the set 350 Degree Temp. I have performed a " Hard Reboot" with no results. Called Customer Support for some Tech. Advise, the Agent told me to best buy a new Stove. This Stove will pre heat correctly in the Convect Cycle to 350 Degree, but not in the regular Bake Cycle. All other features on this Appliance work fine. Any Advise will be greatly appreciated, Thanks

All burners ignitors click/spark after burner turned off

After using one of the cooktop burners and then turning off the burner, all burners continue to click/spark for about 15 minutes then stop. The only happens with when I use one of the burners. Any suggestions on what I should try replacing first? Spark electrodes or spark module? Or is this a grounding issue?

Thanks,
David

Kenmore Elite Clock LCD MISSING GHOSTING LINES

My Kenmore Elite Oven clock digital lcd screen is missing some bars making it very hard to tell what number it is trying to display. Is there an easy way to fix this problem or will I have to buy something expensive? Thanks for any information on this. I've seen where some people fix there display on there calculators by heating and pressing against the connector film.

Bosch Dual Fuel HDI7282U/06 wont maintain temperature

Brand new here. Thanks in advance for your help!

We have a Bosch HDI7282U/06 dual fuel oven/range that we installed 8 years ago. It’s been working fine until 2 days ago when I noticed the oven dropping temperature during the preheat phase of a autoconvection bake. I set the oven to preheat to 400 (which it automatically drops to 375 for convection). It preheated to about 330, then started losing heat until it reached about 310 where it stayed pretty steady.

Any thoughts about what could be wrong?

lower oven ignitor burn out and spreader crack

Have had this problem too many times. GE no help. They did send replacement parts but are the same ones as before. I think that this is a design problem they wont address. Any help would be appreciated.
