This small metal clip secures the surface burner spark electrode to its bracket or burner base, holding the tip at the proper gap for reliable ignition. Replace a missing, bent, or corroded clip to help restore consistent sparking.
- Holds the surface burner spark electrode firmly in position near the burner head
- Maintains correct alignment and gap so the igniter can spark to the burner
- Can help with delayed ignition, intermittent sparking, or a burner that won't light
- Typical signs include a loose/wobbly electrode, visible damage, or a missing clip
What's included: 1 mounting clip Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing
- Lift the cooktop or remove burner components to access the electrode; note clip orientation
- Transfer the electrode into the new clip and seat the clip securely in its bracket or base
- Avoid stressing the electrode's ceramic insulator; verify the tip is aimed at the burner rim and test ignition
