Description
Restore full heating capability to your gas oven or range with the Whirlpool 786324 Flat Style Igniter. This crucial OEM-style component is a hot surface igniter that heats up to a white-hot temperature to safely ignite the gas entering the oven's burner. If your oven is failing to light, taking too long to heat, or simply not getting hot, replacing this fragile but essential igniter is the correct repair. *Note: You must reuse the original metal bracket/shield from your old igniter during installation.*
Features & Benefits
- Heats the oven or broiler burner to reliably ignite the gas.
- Flat style, long ceramic construction, compatible with most 5"+ flat igniters.
- Genuine OEM-style quality ensures the correct current draw for the gas valve safety circuit.
- Resolves common problems like oven not heating or gas not lighting.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Oven is completely cold and will not start.
- The igniter glows, but only a dull red/orange color (not white-hot) and the gas never ignites.
- The igniter glows for more than 90 seconds, but the burner does not light.
- Little to no heat is produced during baking or broiling cycles.
