Customer Questions and Answers for Ignitor by Frigidaire

The Ignitor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ovens and ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas to produce a flame for cooking or baking. The ignitor heats up to a high temperature and then ignites the gas, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of your appliance.

Over time, ignitors can wear out due to repeated heating cycles, exposure to moisture, or general aging. A failing ignitor may struggle to reach the necessary temperature, preventing the oven or range from igniting properly.

Symptoms of a bad ignitor include:

  • The oven not heating or taking an unusually long time to preheat
  • Weak or inconsistent burner flames
  • Clicking sounds without ignition of the burner
  • A visible crack or damage to the ignitor element

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Gil, we would not be able to guarantee that an alternative from the manufacturer's recommended ignitor 5304506545 would work properly.

Hello Ted, You will need to first check the amperage draw of the ignitor 5304534663. If it does not read at least 3.2 amps, the ignitor is weak and will have to be replaced. This is normally indicated by the color of the glow of the ignitor when energized. If it glows red or orange, it is not drawing enough amperage to open the gas valve. If it is glowing yellow to white hot, the problem will likely be the gas valve 316404901 since this is hot enough to open the gas valve.

Brian, A good "flat" oven hot surface ignitor will usually have a resistance reading of 40 to 90 ohms(+/- 10%) at room temperature. A resistance check isn't the best way to diagnose a weak or inefficient igniter. A "clamp on" ammeter is the easiest and best way to test the igniter. When the igniter is glowing for 30 to 60 seconds, there should be a 3.2 to 3.6 amp draw on the igniter wire. The second option would be to test the voltage across the terminals of the oven safety valve. With the igniter glowing, there should be 3.2 to 3.6 VAC across the two terminals of the gas safety valve. These are a bit more accurate and indicative of a "good" or "bad" oven igniter.

Hello Emma, I would have the gas company check the pressure first since most of the time they will do this at no charge. If the problem is not found to be a pressure issue, I would replace the gas valve 316404901.

Jack, A proper model number would help ( GAS182G2A1 is a air Conditioner) Check to make sure the new ignitor is not cracked, broken, or damaged. Make sure you have the wiring properly attached and plugged in tightly. Then check to make sure there is voltage(120 VAC) to the igniter from the ERC/Clock. Then if all's OK you'll need to check the voltage from the igniter to the oven safety valve terminals, while the igniter is glowing there should be 3.2 to 3.6 VAC across the terminals on the safety valve.

Brett, If you look on the side of the burner there will be a bracket that holds the igniter in place and should be located near the center of the broiler. The bake igniter would be located on the side of the bake burner.
