Whirlpool Igniter

The Spark Igniter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. Located inside the oven cavity it initiates combustion using high-voltage electricity. This is a broil igniter for the upper (broil) burner.

Causes of malfunction relate primarily to element degradation from extended heating cycles. Exposure to grease or other residue accumulation shortens the service life by insulating the hot surface.

Symptoms involve:

• Inability to ignite gas burners using the automatic igniter
• Safety issues arise requiring manual lighting with matches or lighters
• Difficulties baking or broiling without consistent flame generation
• Element replacement prevents further problems and safety hazards

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

The Oven Bake Burner with Spark Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This component is essential for igniting the gas in the oven, allowing it to produce the necessary heat for baking.

Please note: The igniter is only available with this kit and not separately.

You should replace the oven bake burner with spark igniter if it becomes defective. Causes of a bad bake burner or igniter can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high temperatures, or damage from food spills and debris. Electrical issues or a malfunctioning igniter can also lead to failure.

Symptoms of a bad oven bake burner with spark igniter include:

• The oven not heating up or taking a long time to reach the desired temperature
• Uneven baking or inconsistent cooking results
• The igniter not sparking or clicking
• Gas smell without ignition indicating the igniter is not working properly

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

This broil burner spark electrode generates the ignition spark at the oven's broil burner so the flame lights reliably when you select Broil. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores consistent broil ignition and reduces repeated clicking.

• Provides a high-voltage spark at the broil burner to ignite gas
• Works with the range's spark/ignition module to light the broiler
• Common symptoms: broiler won't light, intermittent or delayed ignition, continuous clicking with no flame, cracked ceramic insulator
• Spark-style component (not a glow-bar igniter)

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas; allow the oven to cool completely.
• Remove oven racks and any flame spreader/guard to access the broil burner area.
• Note electrode position and gap to the burner port; transfer mounting hardware and avoid stressing the ceramic insulator.
• Route and reconnect the ignition wire/harness away from heat and sharp edges; restore gas and power and test ignition.

The Spark Electrode is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark that ignites the gas in the burners, allowing for efficient and reliable lighting of the stove. The spark electrode is located near the burner and produces a high-voltage spark to ignite the gas.

Causes of a bad spark electrode can include wear and tear over time, buildup of food debris or grease that can interfere with the spark, and damage from cleaning or handling. Electrical issues can also cause the electrode to fail.

Symptoms of a bad Spark Electrode include:

• The burner not igniting
• Weak or no spark
• Clicking sound without ignition
• The burner lighting inconsistently

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

This spark electrode mounts at the bake burner and creates the ignition spark to light the oven flame. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores fast, reliable bake ignition and consistent oven temperatures.

• Generates a high-voltage spark to ignite gas at the bake burner
• Helps correct symptoms such as no heat on Bake, repeated clicking without ignition, or intermittent bake heating
• Wear, contamination, cracks, or misalignment of the tip can prevent proper ignition
• Restores dependable oven lighting and reduces delayed ignition

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Remove oven racks, oven bottom panel, and flame spreader to access the bake burner area
• Note wire routing and electrode position; transfer any bracket as needed and secure the new electrode
• Align the electrode tip close to the burner, then restore power and test ignition

The Spark Electrode is an OEM part for Whirlpool gas ranges and cooktops. It is responsible for igniting the gas burner by generating a spark when the burner knob is turned to the ignite position, ensuring efficient and safe ignition of the gas.

Causes of a bad spark electrode can include exposure to high heat, accumulation of food debris, or wear and tear over time. These issues can prevent the electrode from producing a proper spark, leading to ignition problems.

Symptoms of a bad spark electrode include:

• Burner not igniting or taking longer to ignite
• Weak or no spark visible when igniting the burner
• Clicking sound without ignition
• Intermittent ignition problems

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

This surface burner spark electrode creates the arc that lights the gas at the burner. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores quick, reliable ignition on your gas cooktop or range.

• Generates a high-voltage spark to ignite the surface burner gas
• Sits beside the burner head and fires when a control knob is turned
• Common symptoms: burner won't light, no/weak/intermittent spark at one burner, visible cracks in the ceramic, arcing to the cooktop
• Helps restore consistent ignition when the original electrode is damaged or contaminated

• Disconnect power and shut off gas; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove burner cap and head to access the electrode; access may be from the top or beneath the cooktop per your model's service information
