WP9782116 Whirlpool Spark Electrode for Range/Stove/Oven

Spark Electrode for Range/Stove/Oven

This component is suitable for use when the gas igniter glows without lighting. It is compatible with various Whirlpool brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. As an OEM replacement part, this spark electrode helps ignite the gas burner on Whirlpool gas ranges and cooktops, ensuring efficient operation. It is designed to replace electrodes that are either worn out or damaged, thus reinstating proper burner ignition. The electrode works in conjunction with the igniter to light the burner, and if you notice the igniter glowing without the burner igniting, it might be time to replace the electrode.

Installation involves disconnecting the power to the range, removing the burner with a Phillips screwdriver, replacing the old electrode with the new one, and then reinstalling the burner. Common indicators that might suggest the need for a new spark electrode include no heat, inadequate heat, or the burner failing to ignite. This spark electrode is specifically designed to fit Whirlpool and KitchenAid model ranges and cooktops.
