This wing nut is a hand-tightening fastener used to secure small appliance components for easy tool-free adjustment or removal. It offers a simple replacement when the original nut is lost, stripped, or broken. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components that require occasional removal or adjustment
• Allows tool-free tightening and loosening with built-in wings for finger grip
• Restores proper fit where a missing or damaged nut causes rattling, looseness, or instability
• Designed for repeated hand-operation without specialized tools

• Disconnect power to the appliance before performing any work to avoid shock or injury
• Thread by hand until snug; avoid overtightening to prevent stripping threads or cracking surrounding parts
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged to ensure secure fastening
• Use appropriate size and thread type—do not force a mismatched nut onto the stud

The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, allowing it to heat. This crucial component is responsible for creating the spark that starts the combustion process, enabling your oven to reach the desired temperature for baking or broiling.  

Causes of a bad oven igniter include wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of residue that can inhibit the igniter's ability to heat properly, or electrical issues that prevent the igniter from drawing enough current.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• Oven not heating up at all
• Oven takes longer than usual to heat up
• Gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating gas is not igniting

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.
