Whirlpool Top Burner Spark Igniter 74004053 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation, a producer of diverse appliance brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, also manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component is a Top Burner Spark Igniter specifically tailored for the gas stove surface burners in Whirlpool appliances. It is equipped with a male spade terminal that delivers the necessary spark to ignite the burner. Consider replacing this component if your stove fails to start, the heating element remains cold, or the igniter illuminates yet fails to ignite.

To replace the spark electrode, begin by positioning the grate over the burner and then lifting the burner to detach the connecting wires. Employ a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the two screws at the burner's base and remove the outdated electrode. Install the new OEM electrode and secure it by reinserting the screws. This spark electrode provides a practical remedy for ignition issues encountered in gas stoves, enabling dependable ignition and efficient burner operation. It is suitable for use with certain models from Whirlpool's brands, including Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Maytag, and Samsung.

This component effectively remedies these common problems:
- The gas igniter illuminates but fails to ignite.
- The stove does not activate.
- The heating element does not warm.
