The Top Burner Spark Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas on the stove burners, allowing you to start cooking quickly and efficiently. The spark igniter produces a spark that lights the gas, providing the flame needed for cooking.

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Spark Igniter include:
- Burner not igniting
- Weak or no spark
- Clicking sound without ignition

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