This surface burner ignitor/orifice assembly directs gas through a calibrated orifice and provides the spark to ignite it. Replacing a worn or damaged assembly restores consistent lighting and an even flame on the affected rangetop burner.
- Routes gas from the valve through the orifice to the burner head
- Positions the ignitor for reliable sparking and quick ignition
- Helps maintain correct flame size and pattern on that burner
- Common symptoms: burner won't light, clicks without flame, delayed ignition, weak or uneven flame
What's included: One ignitor/orifice assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
- Remove grates, caps, and burner heads; lift the cooktop to access the assemblies
- Note wire routing and original orifice location; transfer any reusable hardware from the old part
- After installation, restore gas and check connections for leaks, then test spark and flame
Also known as: Orifice holder with ignitor; surface burner igniter/orifice assembly.
