Hi Bill,
I bought the ignitor a while back but haven't done the mod yet because of needing to build something to attach the ignitor to. Your photos really help so now I can go ahead with this. I have noticed on this stove that the area by the knobs gets hot while in use. This is where you installed the starter button. I like the idea of not drilling a new hole in the cabinet for the starter button, but wonder if the heat could be a problem. Why did you mount it where you did?
Thanks, Ted
Because it fit, just not a lot of places on the stove when the module would fit. I did not think about heat there. I will have to see if the heat is a problem, will post up if it is.
I had though about building some style of switch that would close a contact when the knob was turned to "light". I did not have a switch small enough to fit and buying two would cost as much or more than the ignitor. Also would have to make a battery pack and solder the contacts in the module with wires to the switches. Gave the wife options and she said a button would work.
Ted I used a panel punch to make the hole so the area would be flat and clean. If you do this put the cutter on the top. I had it on the bottom and the label pulled and wrinkled. Minor but if you look close you can see it.
Panel punch
Edit: My module did not have a ground wire in the package. I used the wire for the short ignitor, cut and put a connector on it. I was able to use the screws that were on the stove and did not have to drill any holes. Only hole is the one for the button.
