WP74009336 Whirlpool Oven Top Igniter

Ignitor, Top Burners, Range

This Gas Range Surface Igniter provides spark to the burner to ignite the gas and initiate the cooking process. This igniter features a spark electrode with a male spade connection. If your range’s igniter is no longer providing a spark to light the burner, the wire may be shorted out or the porcelain casing may be cracked. Replacing the part may alleviate these issues. Be mindful not to lose the two burner wires inside the appliance when you detach them from the old burner head. To install the new part, simply insert it into the burner head and secure it with two screws. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the range and novice repair experience. You must unplug the range or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also make sure you shut off the gas to the range.
