5304509706 Gas Oven Igniter

Key Features

• High-temperature silicon carbide igniter element designed for rapid heat-up and consistent ignition of gas burners.
• Direct-fit replacement featuring pre-installed mounting bracket and insulated lead wires for simplified installation.
• Advanced ceramic base construction provides high dielectric strength and thermal shock resistance.
• Engineered to reach the specific amperage required to safely open the oven gas safety valve.
• Integrated plug-and-play connector compatible with original equipment wiring harnesses.

When to Replace

• The oven fails to heat despite the gas being turned on.
• The igniter glows orange or red but does not get hot enough to trigger the gas valve (insufficient amperage).
• Visible cracks, breaks, or white "burn spots" on the black silicon carbide element.
• The oven takes significantly longer than usual to ignite or preheat.
• The bake or broil burner does not light, though the range-top burners function correctly.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and shut off the gas supply line before beginning.
• Remove the oven racks and the bottom floor panel to access the bake burner assembly.
• Handle with Care: Do not touch the black igniter element with bare hands; skin oils can cause the element to overheat and fail prematurely.
• If the new connector does not match your specific model, you may need to splice the wires using ceramic (high-heat) wire nuts.
• Ensure the igniter is positioned precisely where the old one was located to ensure the gas ports on the burner are properly aligned with the heat source.
• Test the unit by observing the igniter glow; the gas should ignite within 30 to 60 seconds of the element reaching peak temperature.
