Customer Questions and Answers for Ignition Device by Bosch

The Bake Igniter is an OEM part for Bosch wall ovens and ranges. Located at the bottom of the oven cavity, it generates the radiant heat needed to initiate the bake burners.

Causes of a bad bake igniter can include failure of the delicate calrod-style heating element from prolonged high-temperature exposure over time.

Symptoms of a bad bake igniter include:

• Inability to ignite or maintain ignition of the bake burners
• Improperly or unevenly heated oven cavity
• Cool or cold spots appearing on bake results
• Igniter glows, but fails to ignite

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
