By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18034956
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8054129

The Spark Igniter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. Located inside the oven cavity it initiates combustion using high-voltage electricity. This is a broil igniter for the upper (broil) burner.

Causes of malfunction relate primarily to element degradation from extended heating cycles. Exposure to grease or other residue accumulation shortens the service life by insulating the hot surface.

Symptoms involve:

  • Inability to ignite gas burners using the automatic igniter
  • Safety issues arise requiring manual lighting with matches or lighters
  • Difficulties baking or broiling without consistent flame generation
  • Element replacement prevents further problems and safety hazards

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

Melissa, Check and make sure the burner flame is the proper size, 3/4 to 1 inch in length with the oven bottom panel and flame spreader plate removed. If all's OK , you'll need to start at the DSI Spark Module WPW10331686. Once the burner flame is ignited, the spark igniter should stop and the burner remain on, If the low voltage to the gas valve isn't maintained or the re ignition circuit remains active due to an issue in the board circuitry the burner flame and gas valve will react just as you described.
