577491 Genuine 6 Point Spark Ignition Box for Fisher & Paykel Gas Cooktops and Cookers, Burner Ignition Module

Six spark outputs come from this genuine Fisher & Paykel ignition box, part 577491, the module that generates the high voltage for the burner electrodes. It suits gas appliances wired for a 6 point unit. Count the electrode leads on your old box and compare its number. With no models on file, send your appliance model and serial number through the parts enquiry form if you'd like us to check.

No spark on any burner or constant clicking

The ignition box takes mains power and, when a knob is pushed, turns it into rapid high voltage pulses sent to each electrode. Because one box feeds every burner, a fault usually shows up across the whole appliance: no spark from any burner, a weak orange spark, clicking that won't stop, or a box that sparks on its own. Before replacing it, rule out wet or faulty valve microswitches and damaged leads, which cause similar symptoms. Water from boil-overs is a common cause of failure.

Fitting the ignition box

Disconnect power at the wall or switchboard and turn off the gas before opening the appliance. This is mains electrical work on a gas appliance, so use a licensed gas fitter or electrician. Label each electrode lead with its burner before unplugging, then mount the new box in the same spot, away from heat and spills. Test every burner.

Questions about this part

My cooktop has 5 burners. Can I use a 6 point box?

Possibly, if Fisher & Paykel specifies this box for your model, as spare outputs are sometimes left unused. Don't assume it though. Send your model number through the parts enquiry form and we'll confirm the correct ignition box.
