Whirlpool WPY0316572 Genuine OEM Switch, SP (Spark Ignition Switch) is the authentic original equipment manufacturer replacement designed for select gas ranges from the Whirlpool family of brands. This surface burner spark switch mounts on top of the burner control valve and activates the spark ignition system when the control knob is turned, creating the spark needed to light the gas burner safely and reliably.
When the spark ignition switch fails, common symptoms include the surface burner failing to ignite or spark, continuous or constant sparking even when the knob is off, weak or intermittent sparking, or no response when attempting to light a burner. These issues can prevent proper cooking operation and may indicate worn electrical contacts inside the switch.
Replacing a defective switch with the Genuine OEM Whirlpool WPY0316572 restores proper spark ignition function, ensuring the burner lights consistently when the knob is turned and stops sparking when released. Using the authentic factory part guarantees the correct electrical contacts, mounting, and compatibility designed for safe, long-term performance.
This spark switch is compatible with many gas ranges from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Roper, Norge, and Sears-Kenmore (including select Amana and Caloric models). Always verify exact fitment by checking your specific model number against the manufacturer’s diagram. The part replaces earlier numbers such as 0316572, Y0316572, 0306572, and Y0306572.
Installation is manageable for most do-it-yourselfers. After unplugging the range and shutting off the gas supply, the switch is typically accessed on the burner valve. Wear work gloves for protection, disconnect the old switch, and install the new Genuine OEM switch in its place. Proper installation restores safe and reliable burner ignition.
Choose the Whirlpool WPY0316572 Genuine OEM Switch, SP to restore consistent spark ignition and safe burner operation on your gas range. Installing the correct original-equipment switch is an effective way to resolve ignition problems and keep your appliance performing as intended.
