Whirlpool Range / Cooktop / Oven Igniter

Electrode that produces the ignition spark for gas ovens and ranges, restoring reliable burner lighting. Replace a damaged or worn electrode to stop repeated clicking, weak sparks, or burners that fail to light. What it does:

• Delivers the spark at the burner to ignite gas during startup.
• Common symptom fix: oven/range burners that won't light or that click continuously without producing a flame.
• Use when the electrode is cracked, corroded, or the ceramic insulator is damaged.
• Works as part of the appliance's ignition system alongside the spark module/igniter wiring.

• Turn off power and gas supply before beginning any service.
• Avoid touching or chipping the ceramic insulator; handle the tip carefully.
• Reconnect wiring exactly as removed and secure the electrode in the original orientation.

This surface burner spark electrode creates the spark that lights the gas on your range or cooktop. Replacing a worn or cracked electrode restores reliable ignition so burners light quickly and consistently when you turn the knob.

• Produces a high-voltage spark at the burner to ignite the gas flame
• Helps resolve: burner won't light, no or weak spark at that burner, needs manual lighting, intermittent ignition
• Damage or contamination on the ceramic insulator can prevent proper arcing
• Direct replacement for the failed electrode at the affected burner

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow unit to cool completely
• Remove burner cap and head to access the electrode; transfer mounting hardware if reused
• Handle the ceramic insulator carefully; reconnect lead securely and align the tip near the burner head as originally positioned

This oven burner supplies the bake flame in a gas oven, restoring consistent heat for baking and roasting. Replace a damaged or corroded burner to help recover even cooking and reliable ignition. What it does:

• Produces the primary bake flame for the oven cavity so food cooks evenly.
• Replaces a warped, cracked, or heavily corroded burner that can cause weak or uneven heating.
• Can resolve symptoms such as the oven not reaching temperature, uneven baking, or a burner that won't light reliably.
• Works with the oven's ignition and gas flow system; proper flame appearance is important for safe operation.

• Turn off gas supply and electrical power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Remove oven racks and access panels to reach the burner; retain all fasteners.
• Inspect and clean the burner ports and ignition area during replacement; avoid bending or damaging the burner ports.

The Surface Igniter is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool gas ranges. It is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite the gas, ensuring a consistent and controlled flame for cooking.

Symptoms of a bad electrode igniter include:

• Burner not igniting
• Weak or intermittent sparks
• Clicking sound without ignition

A faulty or worn-out electrode igniter can occur due to normal wear and tear or accidental damage. If you notice issues such as the burner not igniting, weak or intermittent sparks, or a clicking sound without ignition, it may be time to replace the electrode igniter.

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

Surface ignitor restores the ignition spark to a gas range surface burner so the burner can light reliably. Use this direct replacement when a burner produces weak sparks or won't ignite. What it does:

• Generates the spark that ignites gas at a surface/burner assembly.
• Replaces a cracked, worn or non-sparking electrode to restore ignition.
• Commonly used when a burner clicks but does not light or produces intermittent sparks.
• Works as the single electrode component in a surface burner ignition assembly.

• Turn off electrical power and gas supply before service.
• Handle the ceramic tip carefully — avoid touching or bending the electrode.
• Ensure proper connection of the ignitor's wire and correct seating in the burner assembly.

The Surface Ignitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This component is responsible for generating the spark needed to ignite gas burners on the cooktop or oven pilot light.

Causes of a bad Surface Ignitor can include wear and tear over time due to repeated use during ignition. Physical damage is also possible.

Symptoms of a failed surface ignitor include:

• Inability to ignite any gas burners
• Repeated sparking sounds but no ignition
• Yellow burner flames instead of blue

• Visual clues of failure can include cracked/chipped porcelain or a burned electrode tip

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; remove burner cap/head to access the electrode
• Seat the ceramic insulator fully and position the tip correctly near the burner
• Reassemble and test ignition before finalizing the repair

This igniter top is the spark electrode that produces the spark to light a gas cooktop burner, restoring reliable ignition for safe cooking. It replaces the worn or damaged electrode that fails to spark or lights intermittently. What it does:

• Sends the spark to ignite the burner when the control is turned on.
• Commonly used when burners click but do not light or flame is slow to ignite.
• Helps stop continuous sparking caused by cracked or misaligned electrodes.
• Works with the burner cap and gas valve to ensure consistent ignition.

• One igniter top (spark electrode) as shown

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before attempting replacement.
