Whirlpool WP3185804 Range Surface Burner Igniter
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP3185804 Range Surface Burner Igniter has become an insignificant but essential component of your gas range. It's like a spark plug for your stove. When you crank the burner knob, the ignition device receives a signal and produces a spark. This spark jumps a gap near the burner head, igniting the gas that passes into the burner orifice. This allows you to easily ignite the cooktop burners without needing matches or a lighter. The igniter, usually located near the base of each burner, is a thin metallic rod covered by a porcelain or ceramic insulator. The igniter is wired to your range's control panel. A faulty igniter is frequently the reason why a burner fails to light.
