The Top Burner Igniter is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. It is responsible for igniting the gas to create a flame for cooking on the stovetop burners.
Over time, igniters can degrade due to repeated use, exposure to high temperatures, or buildup of food particles and grease. A malfunctioning igniter can prevent the burner from lighting properly, affecting the cooking performance of the range.
Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Igniter include:
- Burner not lighting
- Delayed ignition or clicking sounds without ignition
- Weak or inconsistent flame
- Smell of gas without ignition
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
