Description
Restore the ability of your gas oven or range to heat up by replacing the igniter with the Electrolux 316489401 Gas Oven Igniter. This genuine OEM part is a flat-style silicon carbide igniter element designed to heat up to a crucial temperature, signaling the gas safety valve to open and allowing the burner to ignite. A weak or broken igniter is the most common reason a gas oven fails to bake or broil. This unit comes with the necessary mounting bracket and ceramic wire nuts for splicing into your existing oven wiring.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine OEM silicon carbide igniter for gas ovens and ranges.
- Heats the gas to the point of ignition for safe and reliable startup.
- Resolves issues where the oven is completely cold or fails to maintain temperature.
- Comes with wire leads and ceramic wire nuts for high-temperature splicing.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Oven does not heat up at all when set to bake or broil.
- Igniter glows, but only a dim red/orange color (not bright white-hot).
- The gas valve does not open, causing the igniter to cycle and shut off without lighting the gas.
- The ceramic igniter element is visibly cracked or broken.
