Broiler Igniter for Ranges, Stoves, and Ovens
The broiler igniter, featuring a 6-inch wire, requires replacement if it illuminates but fails to ignite the gas. This component is compatible with various brands, including Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore. Designed as an OEM part specifically for Frigidaire ovens and ranges, it is essential for lighting the gas within the oven burner to generate heat. The igniter functions by transmitting electrical current through its filament, which heats sufficiently to ignite the gas, creating the flame necessary for cooking.
An oven igniter may fail due to reasons such as a malfunctioning filament, damage to its ceramic base, or issues within its electrical system.
Signs of a faulty oven igniter include:
- The oven does not initiate or reach the desired temperature
- A gas odor when the oven is switched on
- The igniter glows faintly or not at all
- Unusual noises during ignition attempts
This OEM part for Frigidaire is also compatible with appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
