This replacement igniter lights the gas burner in your range or wall oven, restoring reliable starts and consistent heat. Swap in a fresh igniter to resolve hard-to-light burners and no-heat situations so cooking cycles begin as they should. What it does:

• Helps ensure fast, consistent burner light-off at the start of a heat cycle
• Common symptoms of failure: no ignition/no heat, delayed or intermittent ignition, repeated clicking without flame, or a gas odor before light-off

• 1 igniter assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Note wire connections and mounting orientation from the original part for correct reassembly
• Handle the ceramic/element carefully to avoid damage
• After installation, restore gas and power, then check for leaks with a soap solution
