140021468016 Genuine Impulse Generator for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops and Cookers, Spark Ignition Module

This genuine Electrolux impulse generator, part 140021468016, is the spark module behind the ignition on gas cooking appliances. When you push or turn a knob, it sends high-voltage pulses down the leads to the electrodes, producing the clicking sparks that light the gas. Impulse generators vary in the number of outlets and the connectors they use, so check yours matches before ordering.

Gas burners not sparking? Check the impulse generator

The generator sits under the cooktop or behind the control panel and runs off mains power. When an ignition switch closes, it fires rapid pulses to the electrodes. Faults include no clicking at all, sparks at only some burners, weak sparks that won't light the gas, or clicking that won't stop. Before replacing the generator, look for a wet or cracked electrode, a stuck ignition switch behind a knob, or a damaged lead, since those cause the same symptoms. If every burner is silent and power is reaching the module, the generator is the likely cause.

Safe replacement of the ignition module

Isolate the appliance at the switchboard or unplug it, and turn the gas off before starting. Hard-wired appliances need a licensed electrician, and work near gas components should be done by a licensed gas fitter. Label each ignition lead with its burner before unplugging it, then fit the new generator in the same position and test that every burner lights cleanly.

Questions about this part

Why does my cooktop keep clicking after the burner lights?

Continuous clicking usually comes from moisture around a burner or electrode, or a sticking ignition switch, rather than the generator. Let the cooktop dry out and check the switches first. If the clicking carries on with everything dry, the generator may be faulty.
