I don't know if you have a manual for your fridge or not so here is a link for a copy;

You mentioned a low clicking sound, can you see if the electrode is sparking and if it is sparking as it should. If you have to adjust to have the spark in the correct position, DON"T, Don't bend the electrode, bend the mount but never try to bend an electrode.

The diagrams and schematic will give you an idea where to test for voltages with you DMM or DVM.

Let us know how it goes.

As for now, I am not getting any spark. I have between 1/8 to 3/16 spark gap. It work on electric and if I use a gas grill lighter it will have a flame. But once it cycle off it will not restart. I don't think I am getting any spark voltage from the board. But I am going to check the ground from the burner back to the control board ground.

The "BOARD" does NOT control the Gas Valve or the Spark Ignitor, other that telling the PART you need, to do that job. IF the gas valve opens and can light with a Match-------You need a "reignitor", not a control board. Follow the gas valve wires or the Spark electrode wire and they will go to the reignitor. Doug

Doug I may have the wrong terminology on the board. I was going to replace the board that is in the back of the refrig. The one the spark and gas valve is wired to. Is that the one I should be replacing? Gary
