The Electrode is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch gas range models featuring a pilot ignition system. Located near the gas valve, it initiates sparking to reliably light burners on demand. Consistent placement ensures safe and dependable burner ignition.
Symptoms of a faulty electrode commonly involve failure to produce sparks stopping burners from lighting properly. Regular flareups increase electrode wear warranting timely replacement.
Causes of a bad electrode include normal arc erosion reducing spark output. Deposits inhibiting consistent contact necessitate cleaning or a component change.
Causes of a bad electrode can involve:
- Burners lighting sporadically or requiring multiple ignitions
- Pilot lights repeatedly going out between uses
- Inability to ignite burners for cooking
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with some Dacor, Thermador, and Blomberg gas ranges.
