Jenn-Air Dryer Igniter

The Flat Style Dryer Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This essential component is responsible for igniting the gas in the burner, allowing the dryer to heat up and effectively dry your clothes. The igniter heats up to a high temperature to ignite the gas, starting the heating process necessary for drying.

Causes of a bad dryer igniter include wear over time due to repeated heating cycles, electrical failures that prevent the igniter from heating, and physical damage which can cause the igniter to break or malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad dryer igniter include:

• Dryer not heating up despite being turned on
• Gas smell indicating the gas is not being ignited
• No visible glow from the igniter area when the dryer is activated

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This replacement igniter lights the gas burner in your range or wall oven, restoring reliable starts and consistent heat. Swap in a fresh igniter to resolve hard-to-light burners and no-heat situations so cooking cycles begin as they should. What it does:

• Provides the ignition source to light the bake or broil burner flame
• Helps ensure fast, consistent burner light-off at the start of a heat cycle
• Common symptoms of failure: no ignition/no heat, delayed or intermittent ignition, repeated clicking without flame, or a gas odor before light-off

• 1 igniter assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Note wire connections and mounting orientation from the original part for correct reassembly
• Handle the ceramic/element carefully to avoid damage
• After installation, restore gas and power, then check for leaks with a soap solution
