This spark ignition electrode lights the gas that starts the burner on your range or cooktop. This electrode is part of the burner assembly, sits next to the burner head, and is just over an inch in length. It pulls current from the ignition circuit; the more current it pulls, the warmer it gets. When the spark ignition electrode reaches ...Read morea certain temperature, it creates a spark. This electrode comes with the mounting bracket you will need to successfully install the part. Before installing your new part, shut off the gas supply and unplug your appliance. This part cannot be repaired. If it is damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.
Burner valves are attached to the main gas line. When the switch is turned the gas then flows into a tube that mixes with air, creating the appropriate mixture for combustion.
