The Oven broil Igniter is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. This component is responsible for igniting the gas in the oven burner, allowing the oven to heat up. It works by drawing electrical current through the igniter filament until it becomes hot enough to ignite the gas, providing the flame necessary for cooking.

Common causes for an Oven Igniter to fail include a burnt-out filament, a break in the igniter's ceramic base, or a malfunction within the igniter's electrical system.  

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

  • Oven not starting or heating up
  • Gas smell when the oven is turned on 
  • Weak or no glow from the igniter element
  • Unusual noises when attempting to ignite the gas

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Oven Broil Igniter (Part Number: OEM18109047)

Frigidaire Fan for Model Number FGGF3036TFB

6 year old Frigidaire range. There is "increased gas smell", "slow to light", and "oven burner turns off & on frequently". This only happens on the Bake function, not Broil (separate igniter). Not addressed in your videos is the situation that my gas valve amperage draw is 4.6A, ABOVE the 3.0 - 3.6A range. For the heck of it, I measured the OHMs of the bake oven igniter at 191, to the broiler igniter at 88 ohms. A higher resistance would force a higher amperage draw, but I don't know if this is meaningful here. In any event I still suspect the oven bake igniter. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello Brian, the correct bake burner ignitor is part 316489403 316489403. The manufacturer on their parts diagram has the locations reversed.

Red, This could be a week ignitor, check for 3.2 - 3.6vac at the safety valve. If you have the correct voltage range then the valve would be the issue, if not then the ignitor would be the problem.

Mike, This issue sounds likely that you have a weak igniter but can test to see if you are getting less than 3.0 Vac at the oven safety valve when the igniter is glowing. If less than that thenit would be a weak ignitor and need replaced.

Hello John, testing glow bar/hot surface ignitors for resistance is not the best way as the acceptable ohm value is quite large. The most reliable way is to use an amprobe/current sensor on it and in use it should draw 3.2-3.60 amps, if under 3.2-3.0 amps it is worn and may may not open the gas valve in an acceptable time.

Bill for Model Number LGGF3043KFJ

I'm chiming in on the issue that seems several people have raised. For my Frig. range, I pulled the actual Oven Igniter part out and the correct part number is 316489403 and it has a 14" wire on it. I noticed in two separate response to questions on this post your techs reversed their answers. To Ann you confirmed that the bake igniter s/b 5304506545. To David you confirmed that the bake ignitor s/b 316489403. David's answer is correct. The mfg diagram may be at fault here but you guys should really fix your AP part numbers and descriptions to get this right. Both your part numbers are labeled: "Oven Ignitor" but if you look at the mfg part #s associated you will see the correct numbers as noted above. PLEASE fix this so as to avoid future confusion and part returns!

Bill, the part description is not incorrect in either case. Both of those parts are used across various models and on many models that ignitor is indeed an oven ignitor. Confusing I agree, but still correct and the manufacturer is the who sets the part description with the part number, we just offer what they provide.

Anne for Model Number 790.71342706

You've got the ignitor parts numbers and repair videos mixed up on your website. This explains why so many people are having the same question. In the Q&A, you state which part is the broiler ignitor and which is the bake ignitor. However, the repair videos for each part show the opposite part being fixed. Please have someone fix the website so that it isn't all mixed up. In the meantime, I want to order the bake ignitor, not the broil ignitor. Please confirm which part number this is.

Hello Bev, The tools needed are a 1/4 inch nut driver and a flat blade screwdriver. The broil ignitor is shown in this video although the replacement is similar for both. To view the video for the bake ignitor you can view the video for part number 5303935066.

Georgina, the broil burner ignitor at the top of the oven is going to be part number 5304506545 and the bake burner ignitor at the oven bottom is going to be part number 316489403.
