The Oven bake Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is a crucial component that ignites the gas to create the flame needed for baking and broiling. By heating up to the necessary temperature, it allows the gas valve to open and ignite the gas, ensuring the oven reaches and maintains the desired cooking temperature.
Causes of a bad igniter can include electrical failures, wear and tear over time, or damage due to repeated heating cycles. An igniter can also degrade if exposed to food spills or cleaning chemicals.
Symptoms of a bad igniter include:
- Oven not heating up
- Delayed ignition or no ignition at all
- Weak or intermittent flame
- The smell of gas without ignition
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
This part fixes the following symptoms

Bake feature would not work but broil would operate Robert D. • Jefferson , WI • December 06, 2014
The bake (bottom burner) worked after replacing the ignitor. Becareful and do not drop the ignitor or the element will break. I found out the hard way. I bought the first ignitor at a local appliance store. After breaking that one, I found another at appliancepartspros.com for $20 cheaper. Thanks appliancepartspros!!!
