The Ignitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ranges. Located near the burner heads, this component is responsible for generating the electric spark required to light stove top burners.
Symptoms of a faulty ignitor include:
- Burners that will not light or only light intermittently
- Clicking noises but no flame ignition
- Diminished or no spark from the ignitor itself
Causes of ignitor failure can be an accumulation of deposits over many heating cycles. Physical damage from pots/pans is also possible. As electrical parts, ignitors have a limited lifespan depending on range usage.
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

Gas oven inginiter needed replacing Keith P. • Cambridge , VT • January 20, 2017
Removed the bottom tin work in the oven and removed the burner tube. Tried to remove the igniter bracket but the screws were too tight for the Phillips head and couldn't get vice grips to clamp on the head, so I bent the bracket enough to remove and replace the igniter. Then reassembled.
I give AppliancePros.com a 5 star rating. Site was easy to use, the part was delivered in under 2 days, and it was the correct part packaged carefully so the igniter was protected from breaking.
