W11032529 - Whirlpool Oven Igniter

This Whirlpool Oven Igniter (W11032529) is a genuine part intended for use in Whirlpool ranges, but it's also compatible with Roper, Estate, and Crosley brands. This igniter, often called a "spark igniter" or "surface burner igniter," has a distinctive blue tube, though the color can vary without affecting its function. The igniter is responsible for producing the spark that lights the surface burner, playing a critical role in the operation of your range. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include the igniter's wires shorting out, porcelain cracking, or if the igniter glows but fails to light the burner efficiently. Before attempting a replacement, ensure the gas supply to the range is turned off for safety. It is advised to wear work gloves to protect your hands during the installation process. To ensure compatibility with your specific range model, please verify your model number before making a purchase.
