    Inspection and access

    I removed the grates and burner components from the Wolf RT366, then opened the rangetop to reach the ignition wiring. The customer had described intermittent ignition, with the rear burners particularly unpredictable.

    Repair and reassembly

    I cleaned the rangetop and replaced the six spark electrodes, spark module and three burner top covers recorded on the final invoice. The photos show the exposed burner assemblies, ignition leads and replacement burner parts.

    I reassembled the burner area after fitting the parts. The gallery shows the new burner covers in place. The completed rangetop invoice was $1,622; the separate range-hood concerns in the original request are not presented as completed repairs here.
