Frigidaire Gas Oven Igniter 316489403 OEM Part

The Gas Range Oven Ignitor comes with an extended wire harness and works by channeling electrical current through the oven's safety valve, thereby allowing it to open. Should the ignitor fail to ignite the gas within 90 seconds, it may indicate insufficient strength to trigger the gas safety valve.<br /><br />Brands like Frigidaire and Electrolux carry this product line, and it produces components for Sears-Kenmore as well. This ignitor, an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, is specifically designed for Frigidaire gas ranges and ovens. It utilizes electricity to generate a spark, igniting the burner flames and facilitating heating. To assess the ignitor's functionality, visually inspect the broiler while it operates. A vibrant red glow from the element signifies adequate power. If there is no glow, it might indicate insufficient power to ignite the gas, suggesting the need for replacement.<br /><br />Signs that the gas ignitor may be defective include:<br /><br />- Failure of the oven or burners to ignite or sustain a flame<br />- Noticeable decline in heating performance<br />- Burners that ignite inconsistently or extinguish without warning<br /><br />These problems often stem from standard wear and tear over extended use. Over time, the ignitor's ability to generate sparks diminishes, resulting in poor gas ignition.<br /><br />This replacement ignitor is also suitable for other brands such as Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore.
