Gas Range / Stove / Oven Igniter

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Oven Igniter is an OEM component designed for Whirlpool ovens. Its primary function is to ignite the gas burner, which heats the oven. The igniter operates by drawing electrical current through its filament, heating it until it glows and ignites the gas.

Common signs of a failing Oven Igniter include:

- Oven not heating
- Igniter glowing without igniting the gas
- Weak flame or delayed ignition
- Increased gas smell

Several factors can cause a malfunctioning Oven Igniter, such as regular wear and tear, physical damage, or a buildup of dirt and grease. These issues can lead to uneven cooking, wasted gas, and potential safety hazards due to unignited gas accumulation.

This OEM part is compatible with various brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.

This part addresses the following issues:
- Gas igniter glows but does not light
- Oven won't start
- Insufficient heat when baking
