✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Igniter does not glow during a bake cycle.
• Igniter glows but the burner does not light.
• Igniter glows for more than about 90 seconds without ignition.
• Little or no heat during baking.
• Delayed ignition or a weak orange glow.
• Visible cracking or damage to the igniter ceramic or element.

Check Before Replacing

• With the oven off and cooled, visually inspect the igniter for cracks, damage, or burned wiring.
• During a bake-cycle test, observe whether the igniter glows; do not touch the igniter or burner.
• If the igniter glows for more than approximately 90 seconds without burner ignition, treat the igniter as a possible cause, while recognizing that the gas valve, wiring, or burner may also be involved.
• With electrical power disconnected, verify that the igniter wiring connector is seated and that the harness is not visibly damaged.
• If gas odor is strong or persistent, stop testing, shut off the gas supply if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and seek qualified service.
