I am sure someone will tell me that this will be the death of me and everyone/thing within 10 miles of me....
What i did to diagnose my faulty sparker was to have someone turn on the fridge and while i attempted to light the burner with a lighter. when the fridge turns on you will her the gas solenoid turn on (fairly quiet) and the gas will start to flow, it sometimes takes a second or two. if all is working right, you would hear a click, click click...which is the sparker.
if you notice that the lighter has a flame in the wind appearance you have air in the lines.
In my case all i needed to do to fix was clean the contact where the sparker connects to the control board and i was back in business.
