When I tried to ignite it the knob just shorts out. Just unhooked everything. Is it worth having it fixed(if it can be) or would be just as costly to buy a new one. It's only about a 250-300$ too.Thanks

Blue2016, Recheck and make sure the switch or igniter wires weren't pinched or shorted between the panels or cooktop. If all's OK, then you have to presume the shorted switch, damaged the spark module Part number: AP3778816 , and it will need to be replaced.
