Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Igniter by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
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.

Rich for Model Number KGSA906PSS01

Kitchenaid gas range: The broiler lights for about 5 seconds and then goes out. It will attempt to re-light after a minute or so and does the same thing. Seems to have a good flame for those few seconds. Can it be a faulty igniter? I took out the burner and checked it - pretty clean, no rust, and no debris came out. The temp sensor checks out (1091) and the gas valve checks out (215 on both sides). The igniter is working but I read somewhere that it can still be faulty and cause this condition. Not sure what else to do. Thoughts?

Answer

Rich, Is the range using Nat. Gas or LP Gas ? Are there any issues with the top burners ? The gas valve coils could still be weak, and "drop out" after a minute or two of operation. You may want to recheck the resistance at the time the gas valve shuts down, like any coil they can check proper when "cold". Check the wiring at the DSI spark module and at the igniter, again. If all's OK, the most likely issue is a weak or faulty ignition circuit for the oven in the DSI module WPW10331686 . Thanks,
