Customer Questions and Answers for Surface Burner Spark Igniter (Dual-Burner) by Whirlpool

This dual-burner surface spark igniter lights two adjacent gas burners on your range or cooktop. Replacing a worn or cracked igniter restores quick, reliable ignition and consistent lighting across the pair, reducing long clicking or failed starts.

• Generates a high-voltage spark at two electrodes to ignite gas at both burners in the pair
• Helps resolve: surface burner won't light, only one of the two lights, intermittent/weak spark, or excessive clicking before ignition
• Often needed when ceramic insulators are cracked, tips are damaged, or the igniter is shorting to ground
• Designed for units that use a shared dual-burner igniter assembly

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas before servicing
• Remove grates, burner caps, and bases to access; lift the cooktop or burner deck as required
• Transfer any mounting hardware and align electrodes with burner ports; avoid stressing the ceramic
• Reconnect leads securely, reassemble, and test burner ignition
