Part 4342528
Purpose
Gas oven igniter—heats the valve to initiate gas flow and ignite the burner
Details
This OEM round glow-bar igniter draws electrical current through the oven’s safety valve to open it and ignite the burner. The ceramic/porcelain body heats until glowing, triggering ignition; over time, performance degrades—symptoms include no heat, delayed lighting, or inconsistent heating. Replacing the igniter restores proper function and safe, reliable oven operation.
Compatible Models
Compatible with a variety of gas ranges and wall ovens from Whirlpool and associated brands—including Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Hotpoint, GE, Frigidaire, and more—depending on model specifics; verify fit via your oven’s parts diagram.
