: I own a chambers cooktop model No. GSU-33P
: bought in 1986. I understand that this
: product was made by Whirlpool.
I don't know if Whirlpool owned Chambers at that time yet or not. They did eventually acquire the company.
: Two of my 4 burners light. My "electronic
: intermittent device" clicks on the 2
: nonburning burners but wont light and no gas
: is allowed through to use a match. What is
: the problem(s)
That is a good question.
The gas should flow to surface burners whether the electronic ignition system works or not. The only thing I can think of that would stop it would be a bad gas valve(s) located beneath the knob(s), unless some damage was done to the tubing the gas travels in. There should be nothing else in the gas system to my knowledge to stop it.
The second thing is that if no gas is getting to the burners, there's no way they're going to light of course. I think you should focus your attention on getting gas to the burners in question.
: where do I find the parts
: to repair it. The site you list on the last
: Chambers question does not list Chambers as
: a product part they carry.
If the site was the RepairClinic, they should be able to get any parts that are still available.
Chambers is now owned by Whirlpool so try selecting that brand instead. You may have to contact them with the model number of the appliance and have them manually look up whatever parts you determine to be the eventual problem.
