General Electric Cooktop Igniter

The Electrode is an OEM part for GE gas cooktops and ranges. This component is responsible for igniting the surface burners. They are also often referred to as spark igniters.

Causes of a bad electrode can include cracks, mineral deposits, or damage accumulated from regular usage over many heating cycles. Heat exposure degrades the material integrity of the tip.

Symptoms of a bad electrode include:

• Surface burners failing to light or ignite when turned on
• The igniter glows but flames do not ignite
• Intermittent or inconsistent ignition of burners
• Visible wear, cracks or corrosion on the electrode tip

This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Electrode Top is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. It is designed to produce the spark necessary to ignite the gas burner, ensuring the burner lights up quickly and efficiently.

You should replace the electrode top if it becomes worn out, damaged, or fails to produce a spark. Common causes of a bad electrode top include buildup of food debris, exposure to moisture, or physical damage to the electrode or its connections.

Symptoms of a bad Electrode Top include:

• The burner not igniting or taking a long time to ignite
• A weak or absent spark
• Clicking sounds without ignition

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This oven igniter lights the gas for the oven burner so your range can preheat and maintain temperature. Replacing a weak or failed igniter restores reliable ignition and consistent oven heating performance.

• Heats to draw open the gas safety valve and ignite the oven burner
• Helps fix: oven not heating or failing to reach temperature
• Igniter glows but burner won't light, or takes a long time to light
• Intermittent oven heat or frequent preheat failures

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Handle the ceramic igniter carefully; avoid touching or stressing the heating element
• Transfer any required mounting hardware from the original and route wires away from hot surfaces
• After installation, restore power and gas and verify the burner lights and the flame is steady

The Top Burner Igniter is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. This igniter is responsible for lighting the gas burner on the cooktop, providing the necessary spark to ignite the gas and start the burner.  

Causes of a bad igniter can include wear and tear from regular use, buildup of food debris or grease, or electrical issues.  

Symptoms of a bad top burner igniter include:

• The burner not lighting or taking a long time to ignite
• No clicking sound when attempting to ignite the burner
• Weak or no spark produced by the igniter
• The igniter glowing but not igniting the gas

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This igniter assembly creates the spark that lights a gas burner, helping restore quick, reliable ignition. Replacing a damaged or shorted igniter can address burners that won't light, intermittent ignition, or repeated clicking without flame.

• Generates a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite gas
• Ceramic-insulated electrode focuses the spark for consistent lighting
• Failure can cause no spark at a specific burner, delayed ignition, or constant clicking
• Visible cracks, carbon tracking, or damaged lead are common replacement indicators

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; handle the ceramic insulator carefully to avoid breakage
• Route the lead away from heat and moisture; secure connections firmly
• Align the electrode tip correctly with the burner for reliable ignition

This replacement top burner ignitor produces the spark needed to light gas on surface cooktops, restoring reliable ignition so burners light consistently. Ideal for repair of a single surface burner assembly. What it does:

• Generates the spark that ignites gas at a surface/top burner
• Replaces a cracked, broken, or non-sparking electrode
• Helps correct symptoms such as continuous clicking with no ignition, burners that won't light, or intermittent sparking
• Works as the electrode/ignition source mounted next to the burner cap

• Always disconnect power to the range and turn off the gas supply before servicing
• Handle the ceramic/porcelain insulator and electrode tip carefully to avoid damage
• Use basic hand tools;
