Frigidaire Dryer Igniter

The Ignitor is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. This part ignites the gas burner that generates the heat necessary for drying clothes.  Note: Part has been redesigned and is now a flat style ignitor instead of round ignitor.

Causes of a bad Ignitor can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or power surges, and physical damage from debris or residue buildup.

Symptoms of a bad Ignitor include:

• The dryer not heating up, leading to clothes remaining wet after a cycle
• The ignitor not glowing or sparking when the dryer is turned on
• Extended drying times due to insufficient heat production
• The smell of gas without ignition, indicating a failure to light the burner

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Ignitor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. It serves as the ignition source safely firing up burners to initiate drying cycles. 

Causes usually relate to the continual thermal shock experienced from heating and then rapidly cooling over extended use. As a foundational safeguard, ignitors require OEM replacement when arcing declines. 

Symptoms of a faulty ignitor can include:

• The dryer fails to start or stop heating intermittently   
• Cycles taking overly long to complete or feel uneven
• Excessive service calls relating to "no heat" troubles  
• Risk of uncombusted gas pooling in dryer if ignition falters

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This glow-bar igniter lights the gas burner in your dryer so it can produce heat. When the igniter is cracked, weak, or open, the burner won't light and clothes won't dry properly.

• Heats up to ignite the gas burner during each heating cycle
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat, takes too long to dry, burner won't light, igniter doesn't glow or glows but no flame
• Restores consistent ignition and drying performance

• Unplug dryer and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Handle the igniter carefully—ceramic element is fragile; avoid touching it with bare fingers
• Note wire routing and burner alignment before removal
• After installation, restore gas/electric and check for proper burner ignition
