THEORY OF OPERATION
The Direct Spark Ignition System contains a
Gas Distribution Valve and a Direct Spark Ig-
nition (DSI) Control that interfaces with the
Electronic Oven Control, and spark electrodes.
This provides the direct spark ignition and gas
distribution for Whirlpool self-cleaning gas free-
standing ranges.
A proper ground and the correct polarity is nec-
essary for the DSI control to sense the pres-
INTRODUCTION
ence of a flame. If the polarity is reversed, or
in some cases if there is a poor ground, the
control will appear to operate normally. How-
ever, after an oven burner ignites, the spark
will continue to occur at the burner, and the
valve will then shut off after 4 seconds. This is
because the DSI control does not recognize
the presence of a flame when one is present
(see “Monitoring System,” on page 9).
