Gas Range/Stove/Oven Igniter Kit features a body length of 3-3/4" and effectively resolves issues like startup failure, insufficient heating, uneven temperature distribution, and the igniter glowing without fire ignition.
Designed for compatibility with GE brands, this OEM replacement part fits Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore appliances. The purpose of this igniter is to trigger the gas ignition within the oven burner, facilitating the heating process by generating the critical spark needed for both cooking and baking. Over time, the igniter can become worn or damaged, leading to inadequate oven heating performance.
Indicators of a malfunctioning oven igniter include:
- The oven failing to heat.
- Extended time required for preheating.
- Detectable gas odor from unignited gas.
- Presence of a clicking sound without subsequent ignition.
Common factors contributing to igniter malfunction involve routine wear and tear, exposure to extreme heat or moisture, or physical damage resulting from impact or improper handling.
This genuine GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears models.
Please note: The connector plug may require removal, necessitating the connection of igniter wires to range wires using porcelain wire connectors.
This component effectively addresses the following problems:
- Insufficient heat during broiling
- Inadequate heat when baking
- Igniter glows but fails to ignite
- Oven fails to start
