Whirlpool WP7432P109-60 Range Spark Igniter
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP7432P109-60 Range Surface Burner Igniter has become a small but essential part of your gas range. It generates the spark that ignites the gas burner when you turn the knob. The igniter, situated near the base of the burner, produces a high-voltage electrical current that jumps a gap, which produces a spark. This spark ignites the gas which travels through the burner opening, enabling you to immediately begin cooking. A faulty igniter could prevent the burner from lighting, which is either uncomfortable and inconvenient. Fortunately, replacing an outdated igniter is a relatively easy repair that can be performed by a do-it-yourselfer or an experienced appliance professional.
