Description

This surface ignitor is the replaceable ignition electrode used on gas cooktop burners to create the spark that lights the burner for reliable ignition. Restores safe, consistent lighting when the original ignitor fails. What it does:

• Produces the spark that ignites the burner gas for surface cooktop operation
• Commonly replaces worn or damaged electrodes that prevent burners from lighting
• Helps stop intermittent sparking or weak sparks that lead to delayed ignition
• Works with the cooktop's ignition module and switch to coordinate spark timing

What's included:

• One surface ignitor (electrode) as pictured

Install notes:

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before starting work
• Handle ceramic/glass cooktop surfaces carefully to avoid cracks or scratches
• Inspect wiring and connectors; replace any damaged terminals or insulation
• After installation, test each burner to ensure proper spark and ignition
