140010140154 Genuine Ignition Switch Harness for Westinghouse 5 Burner Gas Cooktops, Vulcan Range

Part 140010140154 is the genuine Electrolux switch harness for 5 burner Westinghouse gas cooktops in the Vulcan range. The harness links the small switches on each gas control to the spark generator, so turning a knob makes the igniters click. No model list is on file for this number, so match it to the parts list for your cooktop before ordering.

Westinghouse gas burners not sparking or sparking non-stop

Each gas control knob on a cooktop like this has a switch behind it. Push and turn the knob and the switch closes, telling the spark generator to fire the igniters. The switches and their wiring sit close to the burners, so heat, spilled liquid and cleaning sprays get into them over time. A faulty harness shows up as igniters that click constantly even with the knobs off, burners that won't spark at all, or a safety switch tripping when the cooktop is in use. Moisture in a switch is a common cause, so dry the cooktop out first before replacing parts.

Fitting the switch harness safely

Switch off the cooktop's power at the isolating switch and turn off the gas supply before anything comes apart. The harness carries mains voltage on a gas appliance, so it should be fitted by a licensed electrician or licensed gas fitter. Photograph how each switch sits on its valve and how the wires are routed, keep them clear of hot surfaces, then test that every burner lights cleanly.
