Range, Stove, and Oven Igniter

Whirlpool manufactures products under several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Oven Igniter, an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, is essential for igniting the gas in the oven burner. This component creates the spark needed to start the combustion process, allowing the oven to reach the desired temperature for cooking.

Common reasons for a faulty oven igniter include regular wear and tear, residue buildup that affects its heating capability, or electrical issues that prevent it from drawing sufficient current.

Signs of a malfunctioning oven igniter include:

- The oven not heating at all
- The oven taking longer than usual to heat up
- A gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating that the gas is not igniting

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

- Little to no heat when broiling
- Gas igniter glows but does not light
- Gas smell
- Little to no heat when baking
