Description

This surface ignitor is the replaceable ceramic spark electrode that creates the spark needed to light a gas cooktop burner. Replacing a worn or cracked ignitor restores reliable ignition and helps burners light quickly and safely. What it does:

• Generates the spark that lights the burner when the control is turned on
• Commonly used when a burner won't ignite or sparks but won't light
• Works with the cooktop's ignition system and switches to initiate ignition
• Helps eliminate intermittent ignition and inconsistent burner lighting

What's included:

• One surface ignitor (ceramic spark electrode)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the range and turn off the gas supply before starting
• Handle the ceramic tip carefully; it is fragile and can crack if dropped or flexed
• Access typically requires removing the cooktop or burner assembly
