Exactly what I did. I got one from HD or maybe Amazon; I don't remember. It was relatively inexpensive. I put the push button on the cabinet in front of the cooktop, and the electrodes up close to each burner. It took me maybe about an hour to do the whole operation.]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2025 10:54:14 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154692#154692 Cook top for 2016 171 : You can find them in any place... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154689#154689 Author: StephenH

You can find them in any place that sells barbecue grill parts such as Home Depot, Lowes, or possibly even Walmart. The tricky part is making a  bracket to hold the electrode end of the wire. It needs to be close to the burner, but not touching. The Piezoelectric button can be installed in a convenient spot, such as the cabinet face below the stove. 

Edit:  You will want to purchase one that has two wires and electrodes, one for each burner.

Care to share how you did that?  Where the parts came from? etc?]]> Thu, 17 Jul 2025 20:47:52 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154688#154688 Cook top for 2016 171 : We added a piezo igniter to the... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154626#154626 Author: GlueGuy

We added a piezo igniter to the one that was in our RP179.]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2025 11:34:02 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154626#154626 Cook top for 2016 171 : What about this one?https://... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154621#154621 Author: StephenH

What about this one?
https://www.amazon.com/Flame-King-YSNHT600-Burner-Cooktop/dp/B01D42QH2U/

It looks like it would fit and has piezoelectric ignition.

I was kind of hoping for an upgrade, at least a piezo igniter. My old one still works, but it's old now and has seen a lot of use and bouncing around!]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2025 10:31:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=154620#154620 Cook top for 2016 171 : Look on Amazon.

Look on Amazon. You may find a duplicate of the one that is in there now.

Good day! I am looking to replace the two burner cook top in my 2016 171 and wonder if anyone has any suggestions for a good quality one that will drop in or otherwise install without too much trouble. Thanks for any input!
