Maytag Range Igniter

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

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:

• Generates the spark that ignites gas at a surface/burner assembly.
• Replaces a cracked, worn or non-sparking electrode to restore ignition.
• Commonly used when a burner clicks but does not light or produces intermittent sparks.
• Works as the single electrode component in a surface burner ignition assembly.

• Turn off electrical power and gas supply before service.
• Handle the ceramic tip carefully — avoid touching or bending the electrode.
• Ensure proper connection of the ignitor's wire and correct seating in the burner assembly.

The Surface Ignitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This component is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite gas burners on the cooktop or oven pilot light.

Causes of a bad Surface Ignitor can include wear and tear over time due to repeated use during ignition. Physical damage is also possible.

Symptoms of a failed surface ignitor include:

• Inability to ignite any gas burners
• Repeated sparking sounds but no ignition
• Yellow burner flames instead of blue

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

This single surface burner spark electrode generates the spark that lights the gas on your cooktop or range. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores reliable ignition and reduces "click with no flame" at that burner.

• Creates a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite gas
• Positions the spark at the burner head via a ceramic-insulated tip
• Common symptoms: burner won't light, no spark at that burner, or intermittent ignition
• Visual clues of failure can include cracked/chipped porcelain or a burned electrode tip

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; remove burner cap/head to access the electrode
• Seat the ceramic insulator fully and position the tip correctly near the burner
• Reassemble and test ignition before finalizing the repair

The Surface Igniter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas in the burner

A bad surface igniter can occur due to normal wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or damage caused by food spills or grease buildup. If you experience issues such as the burner not igniting, weak or inconsistent flame, or a clicking sound without ignition, it may indicate a problem with the surface igniter.

Symptoms of a bad surface igniter include:

• Burner not lighting or taking a long time to ignite
• Weak or inconsistent flame
• Continuous clicking sound without ignition

Replace your faulty surface igniter with this genuine OEM Whirlpool part to restore your gas burner. 

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

This surface burner igniter creates the spark that lights a gas cooktop or range burner. The attached wire lead simplifies hookup and helps restore quick, dependable ignition when a burner won't light or only lights intermittently.

• Generates a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite gas
• Restores reliable burner lighting and consistent flame startup
• Common symptoms: burner won't ignite, no visible spark, intermittent lighting, or a chipped/cracked ceramic insulator
• Replaces a worn or damaged electrode to eliminate the need for manual lighting

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas before servicing
• Allow the cooktop/range to cool; handle the ceramic tip carefully to avoid damage
• Match the igniter position/orientation to the original for proper spark at the burner
• Route the lead away from sharp edges and heat; make a secure connection to the harness, then test for spark before reassembly

A surface ignitor that produces the spark needed to light gas burners on compatible ranges and cooktops. Replaces a worn or failed ignitor to restore reliable ignition and consistent burner lighting. What it does

• Creates the spark at the burner to ignite gas when the control is turned on.
• Commonly used when burners click but fail to light or when a specific burner never ignites.
• Works with the cooktop's ignition system to provide consistent, repeatable sparking.
• Fits into the burner assembly and connects to the appliance's existing wiring and mounting.

• One surface ignitor (quantity: 1)

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the gas supply before starting any service.
• Handle the ignitor by the ceramic/insulated areas; avoid touching the tip with bare hands to prevent contamination or damage.
• Confirm correct fit and secure all wiring connections; test ignition on a safe flame setting after reinstalling.

This surface igniter lights gas burners on compatible ranges so burners ignite quickly and reliably. Replaces a cracked, worn or non-sparking igniter to restore normal ignition and help your cooktop operate safely. What it does:

• Sends the spark that ignites the burner when the control knob is turned
• Commonly replaces igniters that click repeatedly, spark without lighting, or don't spark at all
• Works with the burner head and valve to initiate flame during startup
• Helps prevent delayed ignition and assists consistent burner performance

• One surface igniter

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before starting any service
• Handle the ceramic igniter element carefully; it is fragile and can crack if dropped or flexed
• Inspect wiring and connector for heat damage; replace connectors or harnesses if corroded

This is the dual surface burner spark electrode for select gas cooktops/ranges. It generates the spark needed to ignite the burner, helping restore reliable lighting when a burner won't start or only lights intermittently.

• Produces the ignition spark at the burner head
• Helps address burners that won't ignite, click without lighting, or light inconsistently
• Can resolve weak or no spark conditions at the affected burner position(s)
• Restores dependable burner ignition when the original electrode is worn, cracked, or fouled

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the cooktop/range to cool fully
• Access typically requires removing grates, burner caps, and top panel
• Handle the ceramic insulator carefully; avoid bending the electrode tips

This surface burner igniter is the spark electrode that lights the flame on your gas cooktop or range. Replacing a worn electrode restores reliable ignition at the affected burner for fast, consistent lighting.

• Generates a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite gas
• Positions and insulates the tip for consistent flame lighting
• Common symptoms: burner won't ignite or no spark at that burner
• Other signs: needs a match to light, intermittent/erratic spark, cracked ceramic

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply; allow appliance to cool
