4.89 (64)
By: Bosch
Part Number: OEM8497557
Manufacturer Part Number: 00415124

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.

Jeff C. for Model Number Thermador PCS364GD

I am assuming a need a spark ignitor (AP2832516) and I was told by another company I did, also, but sinece you have actual technicians answering questions....the burner won't light. It clicks, but no spark, therefore no flame. All 3 other burners work fine. If I do need this part my next question has to do with the removal and installation of said part. I have my burner removerd and I can't figure out how to remove the existing ignitor (I don't want to snap it or get it permanently stuck in there. And then, when I receive the part from you, how do I install it into the burner housing? Thank you so much in advance for your guidance. -Jeff

Answer

Hello Jeff. First thing you will need to check is the ground for the igniter. If the igniter is dirty and is no making a good ground, it will not spark. If it is clean and dry, and there is power coming to the igniter and it does not spark, then you may have a bad igniter 00415124. You will remove the clip on the bottom of the igniter to remove it from the burner in the unit. Hope this helps.
