Customer Questions and Answers for Spark Electrode by Bosch

Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
By: Bosch
Part Number: OEM8497557
Manufacturer Part Number: 00415124

The Spark Electrode is an OEM part for Bosch gas cooktops and ranges. It generates the electrical ignition required to light the gas burners via spark generation.

Causes of a bad spark electrode can include deterioration from continuous heating and cooling exposure during use. Physical damage or failure of insulation surrounding the electrode may also lead to malfunction over time.

Symptoms of a bad spark electrode include:

  • Inability to reliably light one or more gas burners
  • Delayed or multiple ignition attempts needed for burners to light
  • A surface burner that will not ignite at all

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Bosch Spark Electrode (Part Number: OEM8497557)

1 Answer

Hello Kevin. The first thing you will need to do is clean the burner. If the burner or the burner cap gets dirty, the flame can not ground out the unit and the spark will continue. Clean with warm soapy water and dry them very well. I also use a brass brush to scrub them with.

Ben Rizza for Model Number PRDS364GD

Spark electrode 415124 for my cook top is no longer available. Is there another Surface Burner Base for my cook top such as p/n 00415521 that will fit my cook top and is there another spark electrode that fits it? Or is there another solution (such as drilling the opening larger to fit the electrode that is available) to get the burner working? Do you have any other combination of Surface Burner Base and spark electrode that will work? Thanks

Hello Tadpole. If the electrode is the issue, the only way to use that burner is to light it manually. The part is no longer available. Sorry.

Don for Model Number Thermador PRDS486GD

I just ordered two new igniters for my range. I changed one a few years ago but don't remember EXACTLY how I removed the old one. I remember that the place where I bought the part said that they become very hard to remove after a time and you need to drive them out with force after a number of years. I can't remember for sure if I drove the old igniter down (I think that was what I did) or up. Can you confirm the removal of the old one. I watched your video but it is not like mine range at all except the very basic steps. Thanks

Hello Don, You will need to turn power off to the unit and verify the power is off if turned off at the breaker. Now remove the burner cap and the nut in the center of the "star" burner. It will remove by turning it counterclockwise. Now you will be able to lift the burner base. The ignitor wire will be unplugged from the bottom of the ignitor and the burner, when turned over, has a clip holding the ignitor to the burner base. Remove this clip and the ignitor will slide out of the4 top of the burner base. Install the new ignitor in the reverse order of the removal. Reinstall the ignitor wire and set the burner base back in position. Now you should put some anti-seize compound, (fancy name for high temperature grease), on the threads of the center nut. This will make it much easier to remove next time. Re-assemble the remaining parts in the reverse order of the dis-assembly and re-establish power to the unit.

Hello Dinah, Use heated white vinegar, (microwave does a great job of heating it), and an old stiff toothbrush. This may take a little while but it will not damage any of the associated parts.
