XPARTCO EXPHV10 Microwave High Voltage Diode The XPARTCO EXPHV10 is a universal aftermarket replacement high voltage diode (rectifier) compatible with most major microwave brands including GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, KitchenAid, and Kenmore. The high voltage diode is a critical component in the microwave's high-voltage circuit, working alongside the high-voltage capacitor and transformer to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) — providing the high-voltage DC power required by the magnetron to generate microwave energy and heat food. When the diode fails — due to electrical surges, overheating, or normal wear — the magnetron cannot receive the correct power supply, resulting in a microwave that runs but does not heat. A failed diode may also cause the high-voltage fuse to blow repeatedly. Rated at 12,000V DC (12 kV) with a 500mA current capacity, the EXPHV10 is a universal cross-brand replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications across hundreds of microwave models. ⚡ HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY WARNING — READ BEFORE SERVICING Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can store a lethal electrical charge of up to 2,100 volts even when the microwave is unplugged. Do NOT touch any internal components without first discharging the capacitor. If you are not experienced with high-voltage appliance repair, do not attempt this repair yourself — contact a qualified appliance technician. Always unplug the microwave before opening the cabinet and discharge the capacitor using a properly insulated discharge tool before handling any internal parts. Quick Answer The XPARTCO EXPHV10 Microwave High Voltage Diode fixes microwaves that run but produce no heat, have a repeatedly blown fuse, or have a humming sound with no heating. It converts AC to DC power for the magnetron and is rated 12,000V DC / 500mA. Universal fit — compatible with most GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, KitchenAid, and Kenmore microwaves.

You must discharge the capacitor before touching any internal parts. Use a properly insulated discharge tool or resistor — never a screwdriver or bare wire. Once the capacitor is safely discharged: unplug the microwave and remove the outer cover. Locate the high voltage diode — it is connected between the high-voltage capacitor and the chassis ground. Disconnect both leads, note the orientation/polarity, remove the old diode, and install the new EXPHV10 in the same position and orientation. Reconnect leads, reassemble the cover, and test heating operation. Time required: approximately 20–25 minutes. If you are unsure about any step, contact a qualified appliance technician. Frequently Asked Questions Will the EXPHV10 fit my microwave? The EXPHV10 is a universal replacement diode compatible with most GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, and Kenmore microwaves. Use the model search above to verify, or contact our support team before ordering. What does the high voltage diode do? The high voltage diode works with the capacitor and transformer to convert AC power to high-voltage DC power — typically around 4,000 to 5,000 volts. This DC voltage powers the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy that heats food. A failed diode prevents the magnetron from receiving proper power, resulting in a microwave that runs but does not heat. How do I test if my microwave diode is bad? After safely discharging the capacitor, use a multimeter set to the diode test mode. A good diode will show continuity in one direction and no continuity in the other (one-way electrical flow). A bad diode will show either no continuity in both directions (open) or continuity in both directions (shorted). A shorted diode will also cause the fuse to blow repeatedly. My microwave fuse keeps blowing — is the diode the problem? A shorted high voltage diode is one of the most common causes of a repeatedly blown microwave fuse. When the diode shorts, it draws excess current which blows the fuse. If you replace only the fuse and it blows again immediately, test the diode and capacitor as well before replacing the fuse again. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket universal replacement part built to OEM-equivalent electrical specifications. It is not a genuine OEM part from any specific brand, but is rated at 12,000V DC / 500mA — meeting or exceeding the requirements of most microwave high-voltage circuits.

XPARTCO WB13K21 Gas Oven Flat Igniter with Harness The XPARTCO WB13K21 is an aftermarket replacement flat-style gas oven igniter with harness compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore gas ranges and ovens. The oven igniter is a silicon carbide heating element mounted inside the oven next to the burner. It serves a dual purpose: it draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to hold it open, and it heats to ignition temperature to light the gas burner. The igniter must draw sufficient current — typically 3.2–3.6 amps — to hold the safety valve fully open. A weakened igniter that draws too little current will glow but never fully open the gas valve, preventing the burner from lighting. This flat-style igniter draws 3.4–3.6 amps at 115V. The ceramic block measures 1-1/2" L, with an overall bracket/cage measuring 3-3/4"L x 2-1/8"W x 13/16"H. The harness and plug extend approximately 7-7/8" from the igniter body with female pin connectors and a double wing mounting bracket. It can be used as a bake or broil igniter replacement on compatible models. It directly replaces WB13K21, WB13K12, WB13K13, WB13K14, WB13K0012, WB13K0013, WB13K0014, WB13K0021, WB13K10009, WB13K10026, IG21, 2494, AP2020569, AH231280, EA231280, EAP231280, PS231280, and PD00001023. Note: if the connector does not match your range's harness, cut the connector and splice the wires using porcelain wire nuts — do not use standard plastic wire nuts near the oven burner. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WB13K21 Gas Oven Flat Igniter with Harness fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore gas ovens that won't heat, where the igniter glows but the burner never lights, or where preheat takes too long. Flat igniter, 3.4–3.6A, 115V. 1-1/2" ceramic block, 3-3/4"L x 2-1/8"W x 13/16"H bracket. 7-7/8" harness with female pins. If connector doesn't match, splice with porcelain wire nuts. Replaces WB13K21, WB13K12, WB13K13, WB13K14, IG21, AP2020569, AH231280, PS231280. Common Problems This Part Fixes Oven not heating — igniter not reaching operating temperature or gas valve not opening Igniter glows orange but the gas burner never lights Oven takes more than 90 seconds to ignite after turning on Oven preheats very slowly — weak igniter no longer drawing enough current to fully open the gas valve Gas smell when oven is turned on but burner does not light Igniter visibly cracked, broken, or burned out Bake or broil function not working on compatible models Replaces Part Numbers This oven igniter directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WB13K21, WB13K0012, WB13K0013, WB13K0014, WB13K10009, WB13K10026, WB13K12, WB13K13, WB13K14, 2494, AH231280, AP2020569, AGE21391, EA231280, EAP231280, PD00001023, PS231280.

Always unplug the range and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Do not restore power or gas until the repair is fully complete and all connections are secure. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified technician. ⚠️ Handle With Care — Fragile Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and sensitive to skin oils. Do not touch the igniter element with bare hands — oils from skin will create hot spots that prematurely burn the igniter. Handle only by the bracket, harness, and mounting wings. To install: unplug the range and shut off gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel. Disconnect the old igniter's wire connector at the connection point inside the oven. Remove the two screws securing the mounting bracket. If the new igniter's connector matches the harness, plug it in directly. If it does not match, cut the connector from the new igniter and use the included porcelain wire nuts to splice the wires to your range's existing harness — do not use plastic wire nuts. Mount the new igniter using the double wing bracket and two screws. Reinstall the oven bottom panel, restore gas and power, and run a bake cycle to confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights within 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket set, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My igniter glows but the burner never lights — is it the igniter? Yes, almost certainly. A gas oven igniter that glows orange or red but does not light the burner is a classic sign of a weakened igniter. The igniter must draw enough electrical current — typically 3.2 amps or more — to hold the gas safety valve fully open. As the silicon carbide element ages, its resistance increases and it draws progressively less current. When the current drops below the threshold needed to hold the valve open, the valve never fully opens, even though the igniter appears to glow. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the burner, it needs to be replaced. Why can't I use plastic wire nuts to splice the igniter wires? The igniter is located inside the oven cavity, directly adjacent to the gas burner, where temperatures during operation can easily exceed what standard plastic wire nuts are rated for. Plastic wire nuts can melt or deform at oven operating temperatures, potentially exposing bare wire connections and creating a short circuit or fire hazard. Porcelain wire nuts are specifically rated for high-temperature applications and are the only safe connector to use when splicing igniter wires near the oven burner. Always use porcelain — never plastic — for any wiring connection inside the oven cavity. Can this igniter be used for both bake and broil? Yes — on compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore models, the WB13K21 can be used to replace both the bake igniter (lower burner) and the broil igniter (upper burner), as both igniters use the same part number and specifications on these models. Verify your range's parts diagram to confirm that both igniters use the WB13K21 before ordering for the broil position. How do I test if the oven igniter has failed? The most practical test is observation: if the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without the burner lighting, it has weakened. You can also use a multimeter — disconnect the igniter wires and measure resistance. A working WB13K21-style igniter typically reads between 40 and 90 ohms at room temperature (a lower resistance draws more current; a very high resistance means the element is nearly failed). An open circuit (infinite resistance) means the element has burned through completely. If the igniter does not glow at all when the oven is turned on, it has completely failed electrically. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide, ceramic, metal, and plastic to match the amperage draw, dimensions, and performance of the original WB13K21 oven igniter.

MWC21095 Microwave High Voltage Capacitor (2100VAC, 0.95µF) The MWC21095 is a universal high voltage capacitor for microwave ovens, part of the high-voltage power supply circuit that steps up household voltage to the extreme level the magnetron needs to generate cooking power. Working alongside the high-voltage diode and transformer, this capacitor doubles the rectified voltage feeding the magnetron — it's a core piece of why a microwave can produce thousands of volts internally from a standard household outlet. Rated 2100VAC, 0.95µF, ±3% tolerance, oval aluminum can construction with two male terminals spaced 1/4" (6.35mm) apart. Overall dimensions approximately 3.35"H (body) x 2.75"W x 2.05"D, with the terminal housing adding roughly 1.3" to the total height. Over time, the internal dielectric can break down from repeated high-voltage cycling, causing the capacitor to lose capacitance or fail outright — sometimes shorting internally. Symptoms of a failing capacitor include the microwave running (light on, turntable turning, fan running) but not heating food, a buzzing or humming noise from the high-voltage compartment, arcing or sparking sounds, or the microwave tripping a breaker shortly after starting. ⚠️ Extreme Danger — Lethal Voltage Risk A microwave's high voltage capacitor can retain a lethal electrical charge for a long time after the microwave has been unplugged — this is one of the most dangerous components in any household appliance to work on. Even with the microwave fully unplugged, this capacitor can still deliver a fatal shock if handled incorrectly. Before touching any component in the high-voltage compartment, the capacitor must be safely discharged by shorting both terminals to the chassis ground using an insulated-handle screwdriver, and that discharge should be verified with a multimeter before proceeding. If you are not fully trained and confident in safely discharging a high voltage capacitor, do not attempt this repair — have a qualified appliance technician replace this part instead. This applies every time, regardless of how long the microwave has been unplugged. Quick Answer The MWC21095 Microwave High Voltage Capacitor fixes microwave ovens that run (light, turntable, fan all working) but don't heat food, make a buzzing or arcing sound from the high-voltage compartment, or trip the breaker shortly after starting. 2100VAC, 0.95µF, ±3%, oval, 2 male terminals (1/4"/6.35mm spacing). Retains a lethal electrical charge even after unplugging — must be properly discharged before any handling.

This capacitor is a correct replacement for any microwave capacitor matching the 2100VAC, 0.95µF specification. If you have your original part number, contact our support team and we will verify compatibility before you order. Compatibility This capacitor is a universal replacement compatible with household microwave ovens across all major brands — GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and others — wherever the original capacitor is rated: 2100VAC 0.95µF (or a rating within roughly 10–20% higher than your original — see FAQ) Oval shape with 2 male terminals, 1/4" (6.35mm) spacing Note: Voltage rating must match your original capacitor exactly — never substitute a lower voltage rating, and don't assume a higher voltage rating is automatically safe on this component the way it is with an HVAC run capacitor, since the high-voltage diode in the circuit must also be rated to match. Capacitance (µF) has more tolerance than voltage: a modest increase over the original rating is generally acceptable, but always try to match as closely as possible. If you're unsure whether this capacitor matches your microwave's original specification, check the rating printed on your existing capacitor's can before ordering, or contact our support team for help confirming compatibility.

Material Aluminum can Application Household Microwave Ovens Quantity 1 high voltage capacitor Compatible Brands Universal — GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, and most other major brands Installation Notes ⚠️ Extreme Danger — Discharge Fully Before Any Contact Unplug the microwave and wait, but never assume the capacitor is safe based on time alone. Remove the outer cabinet to access the high-voltage compartment. Before touching anything else, discharge the capacitor by shorting both terminals to the chassis ground using an insulated-handle screwdriver — do this deliberately and do not rush. Verify the capacitor reads no charge with a multimeter before proceeding. Never assume a capacitor is discharged just because time has passed, and never touch the terminals directly, even with the microwave unplugged. If you are not completely confident performing this discharge procedure safely, stop and have a qualified appliance technician complete this repair. ⚠️ Match The Terminal Wiring Exactly Wear insulated gloves and safety glasses. After confirming the capacitor is fully discharged, photograph the wiring on both terminals before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting bracket or strap holding the old capacitor in place, and disconnect each wire from its terminal. Install the new MWC21095 in the same mounting position, and reconnect each wire to its matching terminal exactly as photographed — the two terminals are not interchangeable in some circuit configurations, so accuracy here matters. Secure the mounting bracket or strap. Reinstall the outer cabinet before restoring power. Plug the microwave back in and test with a cup of water to confirm normal heating without unusual noise. Frequently Asked Questions Is it really dangerous to work on this even with the microwave unplugged? Yes, genuinely. This is one of the most dangerous repairs a person can attempt on a household appliance, because this capacitor is specifically capable of retaining a lethal electrical charge long after the microwave has lost power. Unplugging the microwave is a necessary first step, but it does not make the capacitor safe to touch on its own — proper discharge with an insulated tool, verified with a multimeter, is required every time before any contact with this component. My microwave runs completely normally — light, turntable, fan — but food doesn't heat. Is this the capacitor? It's one of the most common causes of exactly that symptom. Since the capacitor is part of the circuit that generates the high voltage the magnetron needs, a failed capacitor can leave every other function of the microwave working normally while the actual cooking power is missing entirely. Can I use a capacitor with a slightly different µF rating than my original? Some tolerance is generally acceptable here — a modest increase over your original rating, often cited as up to roughly 10-20% higher, typically works fine, since the capacitance value isn't as tightly critical to the magnetron's operation as some assume. That said, always aim to match your original rating as closely as possible, and never substitute a different voltage rating; the voltage must match your original capacitor exactly. Should I replace the high-voltage diode at the same time? It's worth considering. The capacitor and diode work together in the same high-voltage circuit, and a failure in one can sometimes stress or damage the other. If your capacitor failed and you're already taking the precautions needed to safely access this compartment, it may be a reasonable time to inspect or replace the diode as well, particularly if the microwave shows signs of a more significant electrical fault. Is this a genuine OEM part? This is a universal replacement part rather than a brand-specific OEM part. Because high voltage capacitors of this type are a standardized component defined by their electrical specifications, this capacitor is a correct replacement for any microwave's original capacitor sharing the same 2100VAC, 0.95µF rating — regardless of which brand originally installed it.

Working with gas appliances carries risk of gas leaks, fire, and explosion if installed incorrectly. Always shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and unplug the range before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. If you are not confident working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician. ⚠️ Handle With Care — Fragile Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and sensitive to contamination. Do not touch the ceramic bar with bare hands under any circumstances — oils from skin will damage the element and significantly shorten its lifespan. Handle only by the bracket, wires, and plug. To install: unplug the range and shut off the gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel. Disconnect the old igniter's wire connector. Secure the new MEE61841401 igniter to the burner bracket with the mounting screws. If the plug is a direct match to your range's harness, plug it in. If not, cut the wires and use the included porcelain wire connectors to splice the new igniter to the existing wiring. Reinstall the oven bottom panel, restore gas supply and power, and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between MEE61841401, MEE61841403, and MEE63084901? These are all part numbers for the same LG flat glow bar oven igniter used across different model ranges and production runs. MEE63084901 is the earlier part number; MEE61841401 and MEE61841403 are updated versions. All three are interchangeable, and this aftermarket replacement is compatible with all of them. How do I know if my oven igniter needs to be replaced? The most common signs are the oven not heating at all, taking much longer than normal to preheat, or the igniter glowing orange but never lighting the gas burner. A healthy igniter glows bright orange and ignites the burner within about 60 seconds. If it glows dimly or stays on indefinitely without the burner lighting, the igniter has weakened and is no longer drawing enough current to open the gas safety valve. Error codes F9 or F11 on LG ranges can also indicate a failed igniter. Do I need to splice the wires or does it plug straight in? This igniter includes a 2-wire harness/plug for direct plug-in installation on most compatible LG models. If the connector does not match your range's existing harness, cut the old connector off and use the 2 porcelain wire connectors included in the kit to splice the new igniter to the existing wiring. Do not use standard plastic wire nuts — only porcelain connectors should be used near the oven burner due to the high heat involved. What do error codes F9 and F11 mean on an LG range? On compatible LG gas ranges, error code F9 typically indicates an oven heating failure, and F11 can indicate a shorted or failed igniter circuit. Both codes can be triggered by a weak or failed oven igniter. Replacing the MEE61841401 igniter resolves these error codes in many cases — though other causes such as a failed gas safety valve or control board issue should also be ruled out if the problem persists after replacement. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide, metal, ceramic, and porcelain to match the electrical specifications and physical dimensions of the original MEE61841401 igniter.

XPARTCO EXP480 Microwave Door Switch (NC - NO) Normally Closed / Open The XPARTCO EXP480 is a universal replacement door interlock switch for microwave ovens and microwave/oven combination units. This is a critical safety component: microwave door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing any possibility of microwave radiation escaping the cavity while the door isn't fully closed and latched. This switch combines both a normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contact set in a single body, matching the dual-contact design used across a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms. Rated 16A maximum current, 250VAC maximum voltage, with an IP40 protection rating. Over time, these switch contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load they carry every time the door opens and closes. A failing interlock switch typically shows up as a microwave that won't start at all, a display that works but the unit won't heat, or in less common but more serious cases, a switch that has fused shut and continues carrying current even when it shouldn't.

Compatibility This door switch is a universal replacement compatible with convection microwave ovens, grill microwave ovens, microwave/oven combination units, and solo microwave ovens across many brands, wherever the original switch matches this NC/NO contact configuration and electrical rating. Note: Microwave door interlock systems typically use two or three separate switches working together (primary interlock, monitor/secondary switch, and sometimes a third safety switch), and not all of them share this same NC/NO configuration. Confirm which specific switch position has failed on your microwave, and match the contact configuration and electrical rating exactly — never substitute a switch with a different configuration. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch your microwave needs.

Microwave ovens also contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron. Door interlock switches are a critical safety system: they exist specifically to cut power the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping the cavity. Never operate a microwave with an interlock switch disconnected, bypassed, or jumpered, even temporarily — doing so can expose you and others to microwave radiation. If you are not fully comfortable working inside a microwave's internal compartment, have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair instead. ⚠️ Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match The Failed Switch Exactly Wear work gloves. Remove the outer cabinet or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the door switch assembly, typically located near the door latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring on the old switch before disconnecting anything, and confirm you're replacing the correct switch position if your microwave uses multiple interlock switches. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new EXP480 in the same position, reconnect each wire terminal to its original position, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the cabinet or access panel. Restore power and test that the microwave starts normally with the door closed, and — this is the critical safety check — confirm the unit stops heating immediately when the door is opened during a test run with a cup of water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My microwave stopped working. How do I know if it's actually a door switch and not something else? A common pattern is a microwave where the display and buttons respond normally, but pressing start does nothing, or the unit hums without heating — this points toward the door interlock circuit rather than the control board. Since these switches also serve a critical safety function, if you suspect a fault in this area, it's best to have it properly diagnosed and replaced rather than working around the symptom. Is it safe to just disconnect a faulty interlock switch so the microwave will run? No — this is not safe under any circumstances. Door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping. Bypassing, disconnecting, or jumpering one of these switches removes that protection and can expose you and anyone nearby to microwave radiation, even if the microwave otherwise appears to run normally. Always replace a faulty switch with a correctly rated new one rather than working around it. My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean? This can indicate that one of the door switches — often the one that should open when the door opens — has fused or welded its contacts shut from repeated electrical stress, so it continues carrying current when it shouldn't. This is a genuine safety concern and the affected switch should be replaced promptly rather than continuing to use the microwave. My microwave uses more than one door switch. How do I know which one to replace? Most microwaves use two or three separate interlock switches working together, and they don't always share the same contact configuration. Check your appliance's parts diagram or the physical switch you're replacing to confirm it matches this NC/NO combination design before ordering, and always test or verify function with a multimeter if you're uncertain which specific switch has failed.

XPARTCO 316489403 Gas Oven Igniter The XPARTCO 316489403 is an aftermarket replacement gas oven igniter compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Ikea, and Kenmore gas ranges, ovens, and stoves. The oven igniter is the component that lights the gas burner — when you set the oven to bake or broil, electricity flows through the igniter, heating it until it glows bright orange. This heat both ignites the gas and draws enough current to open the gas safety valve, releasing gas to the burner. When the igniter weakens with age, it may still glow but no longer pull enough current to open the safety valve — so the oven fails to light, takes a long time to heat, or heats unevenly. This is a flat-style, open-cage igniter. Electrical rating: 3.2–3.6 amps, 120V AC. Made of silicon carbide and ceramic for high heat resistance and long service life. Overall dimensions: 3-1/2"L x 1-3/4"W x 13/16"H with a 1.5" ceramic block; the lead and plug measure approximately 16" long. Includes the flat-style igniter assembly with bracket and leads/plug.

Shut off the gas supply to the range at the shutoff valve and disconnect electrical power at the breaker before beginning any repair. After installation, if you smell gas at any point, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. If you're not comfortable working around gas components, have this repair done by a qualified appliance technician. Improper gas appliance repairs can cause fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide hazards. ⚠️ Handle the Igniter by the Bracket Only — The Element Is Fragile Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the gas supply before beginning. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. The silicon carbide igniter element is extremely fragile and cracks easily — handle the new igniter only by its metal bracket, never by touching the element itself. Skin oils and any impact can shorten its life or break it. Locate the igniter: the bake igniter is beneath the oven floor panel (remove the oven racks, then the floor panel, and on some models the bottom drawer for access), while the broil igniter is mounted near the top of the oven cavity. Photograph the wiring connection before disconnecting. Disconnect the old igniter's wire leads at the connector (they're often joined with ceramic wire nuts). Remove the screws securing the old igniter bracket and lift it out. Install the new 316489403 by securing its bracket in the same position and orientation, then connect the wire leads (use the included or existing ceramic wire nuts — regular wire nuts can't handle the heat). Route the leads away from the burner flame. Restore gas and power. Test by setting the oven to bake (or broil, if that's the igniter you replaced) — the igniter should glow bright orange within a minute or so, and the burner should light within about 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My igniter glows but the oven won't light — do I still need to replace it? Yes — this is actually the most common way an oven igniter fails, and it's counterintuitive. The igniter has two jobs: to get hot enough to ignite the gas, AND to draw enough electrical current to open the gas safety valve. As an igniter ages, it can still glow (so it looks like it's working) but weaken to the point where it no longer pulls enough current to open the safety valve — so no gas is released and the burner never lights. If your igniter glows orange but the burner doesn't light within about 90 seconds, the igniter is weak and needs replacement. A good rule of thumb: if it takes more than 90 seconds from glow to flame, the igniter is on its way out. Is the 316489403 the bake igniter or the broil igniter? This is an important distinction, and there's genuine confusion in the industry about it. On many Frigidaire gas ranges, the 316489403 is used as the broil (upper) igniter with an approximately 14–16" lead, while the bake (lower) igniter is a different part — 5304506545 (which superseded 316489404) — often with a shorter lead. However, some sources and parts diagrams list them differently or even reversed, and on some models the 316489403 serves the bake position. The safest approach: look up YOUR specific model number to confirm which igniter you need, and compare your old igniter's lead length to the replacement. If your old igniter's leads reach a connector far from the igniter (14–16"), the 316489403 with its 16" lead is likely correct. Contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm. Why do I smell gas when I try to use the broiler? If you smell gas when the broiler's safety valve opens but the burner doesn't light, it usually means the igniter isn't getting hot enough (or drawing enough current) to ignite the gas that's being released — so raw gas escapes before shutting off. This points to a weak igniter. To confirm which part is at fault: with the gas off, do a voltage test at the oven safety valve on the broil side — you should read between 3.0 and 3.3 VAC. If the voltage is correct but the burner won't light, the igniter is the problem. If there's no proper voltage, or the burner tube has spider webs or debris blocking it, address those first. Also inspect the gas supply tube from the safety valve to the burner for damage or loose connections. Why do I need to handle the igniter so carefully? The igniter's heating element is made of silicon carbide, a material that's excellent at withstanding heat but is brittle and cracks easily from impact or flexing. Even touching the element with bare fingers can leave oils that create hot spots and shorten its life, and a small bump can crack it invisibly, causing premature failure. Always handle the new igniter by its metal bracket, never by the element or the ceramic block. When installing, be careful not to bump the element against the oven walls or burner. This care is the single biggest factor in whether your new igniter lasts years or fails early. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide and ceramic to match the electrical specifications (3.2–3.6A, 120V AC), flat open-cage style, dimensions (3-1/2"L x 1-3/4"W x 13/16"H, 16" lead), and ignition function of the original 316489403 gas oven igniter used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, White-Westinghouse, Ikea, and Kenmore gas ranges and ovens.
