Customer Questions and Answers for Igniter Glowbar by Ge

The Igniter Glowbar is an OEM part for GE gas cooktops and ranges. Located within each gas burner well, this component is responsible for reliably igniting the gas flow and lighting each burner. The glowbar contains a heating coil that glows hot enough to ignite the gas when the control knob is turned on.

Causes of a bad igniter glowbar can include deterioration of heating coils over many ignition cycles, accumulation of food or liquid debris, or physical damage.      

Symptoms of a bad igniter glow bar include:

• Burners failing to light or only lighting intermittently
• Low flame heights after ignition       
• Burners making clicking/popping sounds on startup

This genuine OEM GE replacement is also compatible with select Kenmore and RCA gas ranges using these GE ignition systems.
