Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Electrode by Bosch

The Spark Electrode is an OEM part for Bosch gas cooktops and ranges. It generates the electrical ignition required to light the gas burners via spark generation.

Causes of a bad spark electrode can include deterioration from continuous heating and cooling exposure during use. Physical damage or failure of insulation surrounding the electrode may also lead to malfunction over time.

Symptoms of a bad spark electrode include:

• Inability to reliably light one or more gas burners
• Delayed or multiple ignition attempts needed for burners to light
• A surface burner that will not ignite at all

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