Gas Oven Not Lighting or Not Heating? Igniter Glowbar WS01F10366 — Fix It Fast

If your GE gas oven won't light, takes a long time to ignite, or heats weakly and cycles off early, the oven igniter (glowbar) is the most common cause. In most GE and Hotpoint gas ranges, the igniter weakens over time — drawing insufficient current to open the gas valve fully or failing to reach the temperature needed to ignite the burner. When it fails, the oven either won't light at all, takes several minutes to ignite, or runs at lower-than-set temperatures because the valve isn't opening fully. ⚡ Most common failure point in GE gas ranges — igniters typically fail after 5–8 years of use. Part WS01F10366 is the genuine OEM replacement igniter glowbar that restores fast, reliable oven ignition and full gas valve operation.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ The range powers on and the stovetop burners light normally
• ✔ You can smell gas briefly when the oven is set to bake (gas valve is opening)
• ✔ The igniter glows orange/red but takes more than 90 seconds to ignite, or doesn't ignite at all
• ✔ ONLY problem is the oven not lighting or heating to temperature

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Oven won't light — igniter glows but burner never ignites
• Oven takes more than 2–3 minutes to reach temperature
• Oven temperature is lower than set — food undercooked or baking times way off
• Igniter glows very dimly or not at all when oven is turned on

✔ If these symptoms match, the igniter is the most likely failed component — not the gas valve or control board.

✔ In most cases, replacing the igniter glowbar restores normal oven ignition and full temperature performance immediately.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: EASY — 20–30 minutes. Basic tools required. Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing. Remove the oven racks and the oven bottom panel to access the igniter. Disconnect the igniter wiring harness — do not touch the ceramic igniter body with bare hands (skin oils reduce igniter lifespan). Install the new WS01F10366, reconnect the harness, reassemble, restore gas and power, and test the oven on Bake.
