Customer Questions and Answers for Surface Burner Spark Electrode by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18038565
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8523793

The Surface Burner Spark Electrode is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges. This electrode is responsible for generating the spark that ignites the gas burner, allowing the burner to produce a flame for cooking.

Over time, the spark electrode can become faulty due to exposure to high temperatures, grease, and general wear and tear. This can lead to unreliable ignition or complete failure to ignite the burner.

Symptoms of a bad surface burner spark electrode include:

  • The burner not igniting
  • Weak or intermittent spark
  • Clicking sound without ignition
  • Burner flame going out soon after ignition

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Answer

Lowell, You will want to take the control panel off the gas valves and check the ignition switch to make sure that the switches have continuity. When you turn on the valve, check across the leads of the switches with the switches in the on position and check for continuity. If any of them have no continuity then replace the switches. If these check ok then you will need to check the electrodes for damage. Also check for continuity of the igniters.
