Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- No spark at one surface burner while other burners spark normally
- Intermittent ignition at the associated burner
- Spark arcing from damaged igniter-wire insulation to the burner frame instead of the electrode
- Burner ignition failure after the wire or connector becomes loose, damaged, or improperly seated
Check Before Replacing
- With the appliance cool and the gas supply and electrical power turned off, visually inspect the igniter wire for cuts, burns, cracked insulation, pinching, or loose connections.
- Compare the affected burner with a normally operating burner, if the appliance design permits safe observation, to determine whether sparking occurs at the affected electrode.
- Confirm that the appliance is connected to a grounded, operational outlet; Whirlpool notes that surface- and oven-igniter operation depends on a good ground path.
- If safe observation is permitted by the appliance owner's manual, check whether the spark is present at the electrode rather than along the wire or to the burner frame. Do not touch the ignition circuit during testing.
- If the wire appears intact but the burner still does not spark, have the spark electrode, spark module, burner grounding path, and related wiring evaluated rather than assuming this wire is defective.
