• Replaces a cracked, worn, or non-sparking electrode
• Common symptom: burner does not light or ignition is inconsistent
• Works with the cooktop's ignition module and valve to start the flame

What's included:

Install notes:

• Handle the ceramic insulator carefully to avoid chipping or breakage
• Verify fit and orientation against the original part; some disassembly of the cooktop may be required
