Restore reliable ignition to your Whirlpool-family gas range with the WPW10110378 spark electrode. This OEM replacement is designed to exactly match factory specs and replaces W10110378, delivering a precise fit for continued safe operation. Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, and Jenn-Air gas ranges, this part ships quickly from XPart Supply Ltd. in Canada to get your cooktop back to peak performance.

Why choose this OEM spark electrode

The spark electrode is the ignition component mounted at each burner. It features a ceramic insulator body with a metal tip that sits near the burner cap. When you turn the knob, the igniter sends a high-voltage spark across the gap to ignite the gas. Using an OEM WPW10110378 ensures the spark distance and electrical characteristics match the original design, reducing misfires and ensuring a reliable light every time.

Key benefits & what it solves

• Exact OEM fit that requires no modifications—just replace and go.
• Restores reliable ignition for burners that previously wouldn’t light or sparked weakly.
• Stops continuous sparking when the valve is off, a common symptom of a cracked ceramic or worn tip.
• Durable construction engineered to withstand repeated heat cycles and short, high-voltage arcs.
• Compatible with a broad range of Whirlpool-platform ranges (Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air).

Common ignition issues this part fixes

• Gas burner won’t ignite when the knob is turned
• Burner sparks continuously even when off
• Weak or intermittent spark that won’t reliably light the burner
• Clicking sound with no spark produced
• One burner won’t light while others operate normally
• Visible cracking or damage to the electrode ceramic

The WPW10110378 is the OEM spark electrode for Whirlpool-platform gas ranges. The spark electrode is the ignition component mounted at each burner — it generates the electrical spark that ignites the gas when you turn the burner knob. When it fails or cracks, the burner won't light, sparks continuously even when off, or produces a weak intermittent spark that won't catch the gas reliably.

The spark electrode (WPW10110378) consists of a ceramic insulator body with a metal tip that protrudes near the burner cap. When the igniter switch is activated, high-voltage current travels through the electrode and jumps as a spark to the burner, igniting the gas. Cracked ceramic, carbon buildup, or a broken tip are the most common failure modes. This part supersedes W10110378.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

• Gas burner won't ignite when knob is turned
• Burner sparks continuously even when not in use
• Weak or intermittent spark that won't light the burner
• Clicking sound with no spark produced
• One burner won't light while others work fine
• Visible crack or damage to the electrode ceramic body

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is WPW10110378 the same as W10110378?
Yes — WPW10110378 is the updated OEM part number that supersedes W10110378. It is a direct replacement with no modifications required.

How do I know if my spark electrode is bad?
If one burner won't ignite but others work, or if a burner clicks continuously even when off, the electrode for that burner is likely cracked or failed. Visually inspect the ceramic body for cracks or carbon buildup. Contact us if you need help diagnosing.

Can I replace just one electrode or do I need to replace all of them?
You can replace just the failed electrode. Each burner has its own electrode, so replacing only the faulty one is the correct approach.

Will this electrode fit my gas range?
Use your model number to confirm compatibility. Contact us with your model number and we'll verify fit before you order.
