Description

This surface burner igniter creates the spark that lights gas burners on a cooktop, restoring reliable ignition for safe cooking. It replaces a worn or cracked electrode so burners will light quickly and consistently. What it does:

• Generates the spark at the burner to ignite the gas when the control is turned on
• Commonly replaces cracked, worn, or fouled electrodes that cause no-spark or weak-spark symptoms
• Can fix intermittent ignition or burners that click continuously but fail to light
• Works with the cooktop's ignition system to provide consistent startup performance

What's included:

• 1 surface burner igniter

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting any work
• Handle the ceramic-insulated electrode carefully to avoid cracking or contamination
• Access may require removing the cooktop or burner bezel; refer to your model's service instructions
• After installation, restore power and gas and test all burners for proper ignition; inspect wiring and the control module if ignition issues persist.
