Whirlpool WPW10209656 Oven Surface Ignitor
Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10209656 is an essential device lurking behind the scenes in your Whirlpool gas oven, ensuring its smooth operation. Its purpose is to light the gas burners particularly. The igniter receives an electrical current when the oven knob is turned. A filament inside the igniter receives this current and heats up until it glows red hot. The igniter produces a spark when it reaches a high enough temperature. Your oven comes to life and gets ready for baking or broiling when this spark ignites the gas coming from the burners. If your igniter is not calibrated, your oven could not light up at all. To guarantee that your oven continues to operate safely and dependably, replace a defective igniter with a new WPW10209656.
