Oven Not Igniting or Heating? Bake Burner Igniter 10201038 — Fix Thor Kitchen Range Fast
A Thor Kitchen range that won't ignite the oven bake burner leaves you without a working oven — and the fix is almost always the igniter. In most Thor Kitchen HRG and LRG series ranges, the bake burner igniter is the first component to fail with age or heavy use. When it fails, the oven bake burner won't light, the oven won't reach temperature, or the igniter glows but the gas never ignites. ⚡ Common failure point in Thor Kitchen-built professional ranges. Part 10201038 is the genuine OEM bake burner igniter that restores full oven ignition and heating performance immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your Thor Kitchen range powers on and stovetop burners work normally
- ✔ The broil function or other oven modes may still work
- ✔ Gas supply to the range is confirmed — other burners light fine
- ✔ ONLY problem is the oven bake burner won't ignite or won't heat to temperature

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Oven bake burner won't ignite — no flame, no heat
- Igniter glows orange but gas never lights (weak igniter draw)
- Oven takes excessively long to preheat or never reaches set temperature
- Oven shuts off mid-cycle because the burner fails to stay lit
✔ If these symptoms match, the bake burner igniter is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the bake burner igniter restores full oven operation immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: 10201038
- Type: Bake Burner Igniter (Ignitor) — flat-style glow bar igniter for gas oven bake burner
- Fits: Thor Kitchen HRG Series, LRG Series
- Brand: Thor Kitchen
- SKU: 10201038
While the oven is open, inspect the bake burner itself for cracks or corrosion — a damaged burner tube can cause the same no-heat symptoms even after the igniter is replaced. If the burner shows wear, replace both at the same time to avoid a repeat service call.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Moderate — 30 to 45 minutes. Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing. Remove the oven racks and bottom panel to access the bake burner assembly. Disconnect the igniter wire harness, remove the mounting screws, swap in the new igniter 10201038, and reassemble in reverse order. Restore gas and power, then test ignition before closing up.

💡 Pro Tip
A healthy bake igniter draws 3.2–3.6 amps. If yours draws below 3.2A, it won't generate enough heat to open the gas valve — even if it still glows. Use a clamp meter on the igniter circuit during a bake cycle to confirm the draw before replacing. If it's under spec, this part is your fix. If draw is normal, the gas valve itself may be the culprit.
