The Oven Igniter is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens, designed to ignite the bake igniter to start the heating process. This part is responsible for creating the spark that ignites the gas, providing the heat needed to cook and bake food. Over time, the oven igniter can wear out or become damaged, which can prevent the oven from heating.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven not heating up at all.
• The oven taking longer than normal to heat.
• Gas smell in the oven due to gas being released without ignition.
• A clicking sound without the oven igniting.

Causes of a bad igniter can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or moisture, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

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

IMPORTANT: The connector plug may need to be cut off and igniter wires connected to range wires using porcelain wire connectors.

The Top Burner Spark Electrode is an OEM replacement part for GE brand appliances. Compatible with select GE gas ranges, this spark electrode ensures a reliable ignition for your burners. It features a white ceramic base and a metal electrode tip.

The causes of a bad part can include physical damage or wear and tear over time.

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

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. 

The Electrode Clip is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. This part secures the electrode, which provides the ignition spark that lights the burners.

Causes of a bad Electrode Clip can include corrosion, physical damage from impact or mishandling, or loosening over time due to heat exposure and repeated use.

Symptoms of a bad Electrode Clip include:

• Failure of the burners or oven to ignite
• Intermittent or inconsistent ignition
• Visible damage or deterioration of the clip itself

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

The Medium Surface Burner is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops. This burner is essential for a wide range of cooking tasks, from simmering sauces to sautéing vegetables.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Medium Surface Burner include:

• Inconsistent flame size or failure to ignite
• Uneven heating or hot spots on the cookware
• Visible damage or corrosion on the burner itself

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