• Generates a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite gas
• Helps resolve burner won't light, delayed ignition, or intermittent sparking
• Can reduce continuous clicking caused by a weak, damaged, or mispositioned electrode
• Typical signs include no visible spark or a cracked ceramic insulator

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the appliance to cool before service
• Handle the ceramic insulator carefully; avoid bending or striking the electrode tip
• Position the tip near the burner port; ensure a solid ground and secure bracket
• Reconnect the lead firmly, then test for a strong spark before reassembly
