Whirlpool Spark Electrode WP9782116 OEM Part

Spark Electrode for Range/Stove/Oven

This spark electrode serves as a solution when the gas igniter glows but fails to light the burner. It is compatible with various Whirlpool brand appliances, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool provides compatible options for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea products. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part, the electrode facilitates the ignition of gas burners on Whirlpool gas ranges and cooktops, promoting efficient functionality. It is engineered to replace worn or damaged electrodes, restoring reliable burner ignition. By working alongside the igniter, the electrode aids in lighting the burner; therefore, if the igniter glows yet the burner does not ignite, electrode replacement may be necessary.

The installation process requires disconnecting power to the range, removing the burner using a Phillips screwdriver, replacing the old electrode with the new one, and reattaching the burner. Signs that a new spark electrode might be needed include the absence of heat, insufficient heating, or a burner not igniting. This spark electrode is specifically tailored to fit Whirlpool and KitchenAid models of ranges and cooktops.
