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 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. The medium surface burner ensures even heat distribution and efficient fuel consumption, contributing to the overall cooking performance of your appliance.

Causes of a bad Medium Surface Burner can range from clogged burner ports, which impede gas flow and affect flame consistency, to wear and tear on the igniter or the burner assembly that prevents proper operation.

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.
