Gas Range/Stove/Oven Igniter Kit
This kit serves as a manufacturer-recommended solution for replacing igniters in ovens and broilers. It supports an array of brands within the Whirlpool family, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper, along with Admiral. Whirlpool additionally crafts compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. Designed as a flat-style igniter, this kit is a high-quality original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement for gas ranges and wall ovens by Whirlpool. Its key function is to initiate the gas that powers the oven's heating element. Suitable for various appliances within the Whirlpool range, this kit extends compatibility to brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and Kenmore, among others. Please note that it is not compatible with round igniters or those featuring blue ceramic.
Upon activation, the igniter heats and emits a glow, triggering the gas from the burner to light, continuing this cycle until the desired oven temperature is reached.
Various factors, such as natural wear or power surges, may cause an oven igniter to become ineffective or fail.
This replacement kit effectively resolves common issues, including:
- Insufficient broiling heat
- Igniter glowing without ignition
- Inadequate baking heat
- Detectable gas smells
- Non-operational heating elements
- Failure to start
- Uneven distribution of heat during operation
