Kitchenaid Igniter

Amperage range 3.2 to 3.6

This top burner igniter is a genuine Whirlpool part, sold individually. This top burner igniter can be used as a replacement part in a gas range. This part fits into the surface burner orifice holder to connect to the spark module such that the gas can be turned on to heat up the burner.A top burner igniter might have to be replaced at some point in the lifespan of a gas range. A top burner igniter can be subject to damage if the connection between the igniter and the spark module is severed or is malfunctioning. The primary symptom of a malfunctioning top burner igniter is a gas burner that will not start or ignite properly. If this occurs, the top burner igniter should be removed and replaced with this genuine OEM replacement part before using that burner of the gas range again.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This top burner igniter is compatible with the following appliance brands: Whirlpool, Amana, Jenn Air, KitchenAid, Ikea, and Maytag.

This surface burner spark igniter creates the electric arc that lights the gas flame on your cooktop or range. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores reliable ignition and helps resolve hard-to-light burners and intermittent sparking.

• Provides a high-voltage spark at the surface burner to ignite gas
• Mounts to the orifice holder beneath the burner head
• Failure symptoms include burner not lighting, needing a match, or intermittent/weak spark
• Common issues: chipped/cracked ceramic insulator or damaged terminal/lead

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; remove grates, burner caps, and heads to access the orifice holder
• Transfer the ignition lead, install the new electrode, and route the wire away from heat and sharp edges
• Ensure the tip is positioned near the burner as designed; verify spark and ignition before reassembly

This surface burner ignitor creates the spark that lights gas at a cooktop/range burner. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores quick, reliable ignition and helps prevent repeated clicking or failed lighting at that burner.

• Align the tip to the burner per service information and ensure all connections are secure before restoring power and gas

Electrode that produces the ignition spark for gas ovens and ranges, restoring reliable burner lighting. Replace a damaged or worn electrode to stop repeated clicking, weak sparks, or burners that fail to light. What it does:

• Delivers the spark at the burner to ignite gas during startup.
• Common symptom fix: oven/range burners that won't light or that click continuously without producing a flame.
• Use when the electrode is cracked, corroded, or the ceramic insulator is damaged.
• Works as part of the appliance's ignition system alongside the spark module/igniter wiring.

• Turn off power and gas supply before beginning any service.
• Avoid touching or chipping the ceramic insulator; handle the tip carefully.
• Reconnect wiring exactly as removed and secure the electrode in the original orientation.

This surface burner spark electrode creates the spark that lights the gas on your range or cooktop. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores reliable ignition so burners light quickly and consistently when you turn the knob.

• Produces a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite the gas flame
• Helps resolve: burner won't light, no or weak spark at that burner, needs manual lighting, intermittent ignition
• Damage or contamination on the ceramic insulator can prevent proper arcing
• Direct replacement for the failed electrode at the affected burner

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow unit to cool completely
• Remove burner cap and head to access the electrode; transfer mounting hardware if reused
• Handle the ceramic insulator carefully; reconnect lead securely and align the tip near the burner head as originally positioned

This oven burner supplies the bake flame in a gas oven, restoring consistent heat for baking and roasting. Replace a damaged or corroded burner to help recover even cooking and reliable ignition. What it does:

• Produces the primary bake flame for the oven cavity so food cooks evenly.
• Replaces a warped, cracked, or heavily corroded burner that can cause weak or uneven heating.
• Can resolve symptoms such as the oven not reaching temperature, uneven baking, or a burner that won't light reliably.
• Works with the oven's ignition and gas flow system; proper flame appearance is important for safe operation.

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Remove oven racks and access panels to reach the burner; retain all fasteners.
• Inspect and clean the burner ports and ignition area during replacement; avoid bending or damaging the burner ports.

The Surface Igniter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas, ensuring a consistent and controlled flame for cooking.

Symptoms of a bad electrode igniter include:

• Burner not igniting
• Weak or intermittent sparks
• Clicking sound without ignition

A faulty or worn-out electrode igniter can occur due to normal wear and tear or accidental damage. If you notice issues such as the burner not igniting, weak or intermittent sparks, or a clicking sound without ignition, it may be time to replace the electrode igniter.

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

Surface ignitor restores the ignition spark to a gas range surface burner so the burner can light reliably. Use this direct replacement when a burner produces weak sparks or won't ignite. What it does:
