[RE-wrenches] Peerless Gas Range Question

Tue Apr 28 05:07:31 PDT 2026

It is a battery ignition unit. The batteries are new.

Thanks for the link. It has a lot of good information. I couldn't find 
information on the location of sparker, however. I think I will follow 
Todd's advice and trace the conductors.

This unit has given us a lot of trouble. Is the Peerless still the only 
game in town if we want to avoid circuit boards and phantom loads, and 
run on propane? I love the simplicity of the range, but it is cheaply 
made. Higher end Peerless ranges are pretty pricey.

Cheers,

Drake
