Jenn-Air CCG2523B cooktop Parts

Yes. On a Jenn-Air CCG2523B gas cooktop, you can replace a surface-burner igniter, but you must shut off electrical power first and handle the ceramic electrode carefully so it is not cracked. Use the CCG2523B installation guide for access and reassembly details.

• Turn off power at the breaker; the igniter circuit can spark even when a burner is off.
• Let the cooktop cool completely.
• Shut off the gas supply valve if you will lift the cooktop or disturb gas components.
• Work with dry hands; moisture can cause weak sparking and misfires.
• Do not strike or pry the igniter; the electrode can break.

1. Remove grates and burner caps.
2. Lift off the burner head so you can see the igniter tip and mounting.
3. Disconnect the igniter wire connector (note routing so it stays away from heat).
4. Remove the mounting screw(s), swap in the new igniter, and tighten firmly.
5. Reposition the igniter so the electrode sits correctly at the burner (alignment affects lighting).
6. Reassemble and test for consistent clicking and ignition.

If the burner still will not light, we check these common causes from the manual:

• Power supply issue (tripped breaker or blown fuse)
• Burner head not seated correctly on the burner base
• Burner ports or ignition ports clogged
• Igniter wet or soiled (clean gently and dry thoroughly)

A correctly positioned, clean igniter helps the burner light quickly and evenly; misalignment, moisture, or a cracked electrode can cause delayed ignition, repeated clicking, or no flame.

If your Jenn-Air CCG2523B gas cooktop is not igniting, the most common causes are a wet or dirty igniter/ignition port, clogged burner ports, a mis-seated burner cap, or a power supply issue (the igniter needs electricity to click). Use the CCG2523B owner's manual checks to pinpoint the cause.

• Confirm the cooktop has power; check for a tripped breaker or blown fuse.
• Listen for clicking when you turn the knob; no click often points to power, a switch issue, or the spark system.
• Make sure the burner cap is centered and sitting flat on the burner base.
• Dry everything thoroughly if you recently cleaned; a wet igniter will not light reliably.
• Clean clogged burner ports and the ignition port (use a soft brush or toothpick, not a drill bit).
• Verify the cooktop is set up for your gas type (natural gas vs LP); the wrong orifice can prevent proper ignition.

If cleaning and reseating do not fix it, these model-matched parts are often involved:

• Spark module WP71002749 (creates the spark for ignition)
• Cooktop burner cap WP74007196 (must sit correctly for proper lighting)
• Cooktop burner knob WP71002372 (if damaged, it may not turn the valve smoothly)

A burner that will not ignite is often a simple cleaning or moisture issue, but repeated clicking, delayed ignition, or uneven flame can also signal a spark or burner component problem. Fixing it quickly helps prevent poor cooking performance and reduces wear on the ignition system.

Common Jenn-Air cooking problems include burners that click but do not light, weak or uneven flames, and knobs that are hard to turn or do not control heat smoothly. On your Jenn-Air CCG2523B gas cooktop, most issues trace to burner cleaning, ignition components, or gas supply and regulation; use the owner's manual for model-specific checks.

• Burner clicks but won’t light: wet/dirty burner ports, mis-seated cap, or an ignition issue
• Uneven flame or flame lifting off ports: burner base/venturi alignment, air shutter adjustment, or gas pressure concerns
• Yellow flames: often indicates an air-to-gas mixture issue (some yellow tips can be normal on LP)
• Knob problems (loose, cracked, hard to turn): worn knob or valve stem fit
• All burners act up at once: gas supply, regulator, or electrical power to the spark system

1. Turn all knobs OFF; let everything cool.
2. Remove and reseat the burner cap so it sits flat (a tilted cap can prevent ignition).
3. Clean and dry burner ports and the area around the igniter; moisture commonly causes repeated clicking.
4. Confirm the cooktop has power (spark ignition needs electricity even though it is gas).
5. If you use LP gas, confirm the cooktop is properly converted and the correct orifices are installed.

If cleaning and reseating do not fix it, these model-compatible parts are often involved:

Ignition and flame-quality problems can lead to delayed lighting, uneven cooking, and soot buildup. Keeping burner parts clean and correctly seated helps the CCG2523B light reliably and burn efficiently.

No. Stove and cooktop igniters are not universal; the igniter style, mounting, and electrical connection must match your appliance. On the Jenn-Air CCG2523B gas cooktop, each burner uses an electronic spark igniter for auto-reignition, so the correct replacement needs to fit the burner and wire routing shown in the installation guide.

Many “universal” igniters are made to work across multiple brands by including alternate brackets or splice-style connectors. That can still create problems on a gas cooktop if the igniter:

• Does not mount securely at the burner
• Sits too far from the burner for consistent sparking
• Uses a different connector style than your harness
• Routes wires too close to heat (leading to shorts)
• Produces weak or inconsistent spark

Your CCG2523B is designed to spark and click until a flame is established, and it can re-ignite after a flame loss. A mismatched igniter can cause delayed ignition, uneven lighting, or constant clicking.

Use this checklist before ordering an igniter:

• Confirm it is for a gas cooktop spark ignition system (not an oven glow-bar igniter)
• Match the mounting style and tip position at the burner
• Match the connector type (plug-in vs. splice)
• Verify it is rated for your gas type setup (natural gas vs. LP conversion)
• Inspect the burner head and base seating; misalignment can mimic igniter failure

If you’re troubleshooting ignition on this model, these parts are commonly related:

• Spark module WP71002749 (controls spark to the burners)
• Pressure regulator W11106948 (helps maintain correct gas pressure)

If you’re replacing parts as part of an LP conversion, follow the steps and flame checks in the installation guide to confirm proper flame size at HI and LO.
