Description
Ensure reliable ignition for your gas cooktop burners with the GE WB24T10071 Gas Range Surface Burner Ignition Switch. This genuine OEM part is a small, spring-loaded switch that mounts directly onto the gas burner valve stem behind the control panel. When the control knob is pushed down and turned to the "LITE" position, this switch closes the circuit to the spark module, causing the burner igniter to spark and light the gas. If a single burner fails to spark or the sparking continues when the burner is lit, this switch is the most likely cause.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine OEM spark ignition switch for gas surface burner control valves.
- Activates the igniter circuit when the control knob is turned to the 'LITE' position.
- Resolves issues where a single burner fails to ignite or sparks continuously.
- Durable plastic construction with metal terminals for reliable electrical connection.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- A specific surface burner does not spark or click when the knob is turned to 'LITE'.
- The spark/clicking continues after the flame is established and the knob is set to a heat level.
- The plastic 'D' shaped hole is stripped, preventing the valve from turning properly with the knob.
- Gas igniter sparks, but only intermittently.
