Frigidaire offers a variety of products, including its own line and Electrolux items, while also producing parts for Sears-Kenmore. The Broil Igniter, an original equipment manufacturer component, is integral to the operation of Frigidaire gas ovens. It is responsible for igniting the broil burner located at the top of the oven chamber.
A properly functioning igniter is necessary for the broiler's operation, allowing food to be cooked or browned directly under the heat source. Over time, igniters can deteriorate or sustain damage, particularly from extended exposure to high heat, which may result in cracks that hinder their ability to produce the crucial electric spark.
Typically, igniter replacement becomes necessary due to normal wear and tear or physical damage—often from cleaning—that impacts performance.
Common indicators of a failing broil igniter include:
- Inability to ignite or reignite the broiler burners
- Error codes or alerts pointing to ignition issues
- Observable wear or damage on the component
This OEM part from Frigidaire is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models.
