W11507531 Whirlpool Surface Ignition

Whirlpool manufactures a variety of products under brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. One key component in their range of products is the OEM surface igniter used in Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This part plays a crucial role in heating by generating the necessary spark for gas burners to ignite. It features a small ceramic element that creates an electric spark when the burner is activated.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning surface igniter include:

- Gas burners that do not light or only ignite sporadically
- Noticeably dim or weak flames on the burner
- Rattling or buzzing noises emanating from beneath the cooktop

The primary reasons for igniter failure typically involve regular wear and tear after numerous uses. Additionally, blockages due to mineral deposits or food residues might impede the electric spark.

This replacement igniter is also suitable for use with ranges, cooktops, and built-in ovens from brands like Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and various Kenmore models.
