This hot-surface oven igniter heats and lights the gas burner to start your bake or broil cycle. Replacing a weak or failed igniter restores reliable ignition, faster preheat, and consistent oven temperatures.

  • Heats to ignite the oven burner and allows the gas safety valve to open
  • Common fixes: oven won't heat, very long preheat, burner lights intermittently, or igniter glows but no flame
  • Designed to light the bake or broil burner, depending on model
  • Restores proper burner startup and temperature recovery
What's included: One oven igniter assembly. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
  • Handle by the ceramic base; do not touch or strike the heating element
  • Mount with the existing bracket/screws and route leads away from hot surfaces
  • Restore utilities and verify prompt ignition and a steady blue flame
