The Round Style Oven or Broiler Igniter is an OEM replacement part for GE gas ranges and cooktops. It has a round design and is responsible for reliably igniting the gas burners with each use.  Range: 2.5 to 3.0 amps. 

Causes of a bad igniter can include wear and tear from repeated heating and cooling cycles, damage or defects in the electrical components, or issues arising from long-term exposure to high heat.

Symptoms of a bad igniter include: 

• Difficulty starting or unreliable ignition of gas burners  
• Burners failing to ignite with the press of the control knob
• Intermittent ignition problems
• Clicking sounds but no ignition

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

The Electrode is an OEM part for GE gas cooktops and ranges. This component is responsible for igniting the surface burners. They are also often referred to as spark igniters.

Causes of a bad electrode can include cracks, mineral deposits, or damage accumulated from regular usage over many heating cycles. Heat exposure degrades the material integrity of the tip.

Symptoms of a bad electrode include:

• Surface burners failing to light or ignite when turned on
• The igniter glows but flames do not ignite
• Intermittent or inconsistent ignition of burners
• Visible wear, cracks or corrosion on the electrode tip

This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Spark Module is an OEM replacement part for GE gas ranges. It is responsible for generating electric sparks to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module produces consecutive sparks when a surface burner knob is turned on, which ignite the gas mixture and allows the burner flame to ignite safely and consistently. 

Causes of a bad spark module can include faulty electrodes, worn internal components that hamper sparking, or damage due to moisture intrusion or power surges over time. 

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners that will not ignite or only intermittently ignite 
• Flashback or burning above the burner head 
• The smell of gas when turning burners on

This GE replacement part is also compatible with models from Hotpoint, RCA, and certain Kenmore gas ranges.
