Whirlpool W10918546 Genuine OEM Gas Oven Igniter Assembly

This Gas Oven Igniter Assembly is a high-quality replacement part that will replace a broken bake or broil igniter in your gas range. You may need this part if the element no longer lights or if the oven igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas flame. The extended glow time indicates that the igniter is too weak to properly open the valve, preventing the gas from feeding through. Note that the igniter must glow white-hot to effectively light the oven; if it glows red or orange, it is not functioning properly. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the oven, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the gas valve before starting the repair. Helpful Tip: You may need a Wire Splicer (item 3527618) to attach the connector from the old part to the new one so you can complete the installation.
