The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is responsible for igniting the gas burner to produce heat, which is essential for baking and broiling. The igniter heats up to a high temperature and then sparks to ignite the gas, ensuring that the oven reaches and maintains the desired cooking temperature.

You should replace the oven igniter if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad igniter can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from exposure to high temperatures. A malfunctioning igniter can prevent the oven from heating properly or at all.

Symptoms of a bad oven igniter include:

  • The oven not heating up or taking longer than usual to reach the desired temperature
  • The igniter glowing but failing to ignite the gas burner
  • No visible glow from the igniter when the oven is turned on
  • The oven producing a clicking sound without igniting

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Igniter (Part Number: OEM8804298)

1 Answer

Hello Jd. If the wire is burning, it sounds like it was not connected good and is shorting out.

Sue for Model Number Amana Gas Downdraft Range AGDS902

My Amana range is having problems in bake mode. The igniter takes a long time to come on. Up until now that was ok, I'm patient. However now it comes on for a short while and then goes off again and repeats this cycle for as long as it takes to get to the desired temperature or I give up. To get to 375 takes almost an hour. An appliance repair man indicated the control board was bad, however he never tested the igniter, only looked at it. The control board for this model is no longer available so I'm trying to make sure the diagnosis is correct before purchasing a new range.

Hello Johnny. Yes, the new igniter should work, and it does not matter which wire goes where on the igniter.

Hello Amy, If your model number is RSK3700UW, which is the closest thing I could find to the listed model number, the 786324 is correct and it will fit. You will just have to remove the old one and try it and you may be surprized that it is as easy as it is. One note, on this type of burner, you should tie a string to the wires before pulling the old ones out. This gives you an easy routing of the wires for the new ignitor during the re-installation since the larger ignitor takes away from the routing space.

Cynthia, according to the model number supplied the manufacturer replacement igniter is part number 786324. This replacement may look different however, it is a functional equivalent to the original and will work on your model AGDS901WW. Thanks!

Joe S for Model Number Amana stove model AGS761L

The igniter for the broiler at the top of my oven is a flat ceramic igniter that appears to be identical to the one used at the bottom for the oven burner, yet when I enter the model number, the part that comes up for the top burner (which I assume means the broiler) is a spark igniter that does not look like what is used in my stove. Is it possible my Amana model uses the same type igniter for the upper broiler as well as the lower oven burner, and is that what I should order???for the upper broiler. Thanks

Hello Mike, As long as the ignitor is getting between 3.2 to 3.6 amps then it would be fine. You may want to check your oven temp sensor. If the sensor is reading improperly it will cause unit to possibly not cycle back on.
