Description

This yellow wire electrode connects the broil ignitor to the oven's ignition system so the broil burner can spark and light reliably. Replaces a damaged or brittle ignitor lead to restore consistent broil operation. What it does:

• Transfers ignition spark/current from the control to the broil ignitor so the broil burner can light
• Commonly used when broil fails to ignite, sparks are intermittent, or wire insulation is cracked or burned
• Serves as the low-voltage lead between the oven control/igniter and the broil element/ignitor assembly

What's included:

• One yellow wire electrode (single lead) as pictured

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas supply where applicable) before inspecting or replacing any ignition components
• Handle the electrode tip and connector carefully to avoid damage to the ceramic/insulator
• Route and secure the wire away from hot surfaces and moving parts; replace any damaged clips or insulation
