WP9753108 Whirlpool Oven Igniter

The Oven Igniter is designed for lighting the oven in either bake or broil mode. It is important to avoid touching the black element of the igniter as it is delicate.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Oven Burner Ignitor, an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part, is crucial for lighting the oven burner gas safely. Ensuring the igniter functions correctly is vital for the safe operation of the oven.

A faulty igniter may result from normal wear and tear or from an unexpected surge in electrical current.

Signs of a malfunctioning igniter include:
- Failure of the oven burner to light or spark properly
- Presence of a gas odor when the burner tries to function without igniting
- Oven not reaching the desired temperature for baking
- Risk of gas leaks or fires due to failed ignition

This specific OEM part from Whirlpool is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Issues resolved by replacing this part include:
- Gas igniter glowing without lighting
- Insufficient heat generation during baking
- Oven failing to start
