Customer Questions and Answers for Bake Ignitor by Whirlpool

The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is responsible for igniting the gas in the oven burner to produce the heat needed for cooking and baking. The igniter ensures a consistent and reliable flame each time the oven is used.

Causes of a bad igniter can include normal wear and tear, electrical faults, or exposure to high temperatures over extended periods. A worn or damaged igniter may fail to produce the necessary spark or heat to ignite the gas.

Symptoms of a bad igniter include:

• The oven not heating up
• Uneven cooking or baking
• A delay in the oven igniting
• The smell of gas without ignition

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