Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Little or no heat during baking
• Bake burner fails to light even though the oven controls operate
• Igniter does not glow during a bake cycle
• Delayed or weak bake ignition
• Uneven baking caused by the bake burner not lighting properly

Check Before Replacing

• With the oven cool and the appliance disconnected from electrical power, visually inspect the igniter and wiring for cracking, burn damage, or a loose connector.
• Verify that the replacement part's male plastic connector matches the connector on the removed igniter before ordering or installing.
• During a brief controlled bake-cycle observation, check whether the bake igniter glows and whether the burner ignites normally; do not bypass safety controls or continue testing if gas accumulates.
• If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, have the gas supply, burner orifice, safety valve, and control circuit evaluated rather than assuming the igniter is defective.
