UNIVRND Oven Genuine GE Universal Round Igniter Kit
The UNIVRND is a genuine GE OEM universal round igniter kit for GE gas ranges and ovens. This is a high-temperature ignition component: when the burner is switched on, the igniter heats rapidly until it reaches the temperature needed to light the gas at the burner, allowing the flame to establish reliably each time the burner is used.
Round in shape, with an 8" lead, rated 2.5 to 3.0 amps at 120V, and CSA approved. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year warranty. This is a complete kit — beyond the igniter itself, it includes mounting hardware, a mounting bracket, installation instructions, and 2 porcelain high-temperature wire nuts. This is a universal replacement designed to fit a broad range of GE gas range and oven models. Over time, the igniter's element weakens or fails from repeated heating and cooling cycles. Symptoms of a failing igniter include a burner that won't light, ignition that's slow or inconsistent, or clicking without ignition. It directly replaces WB2X9154 and UNIVRND.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance — Turn Off Gas Supply And Power Before Starting This is a gas ignition component. Before beginning any work, unplug the range or shut off power at the breaker, and shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the shutoff valve. If you smell gas at any point during this repair, stop immediately, do not operate any switches, leave the area, and contact your gas utility or a qualified technician from a safe location. Access to the igniter typically requires removing the oven bottom panel or reaching behind the range's rear panel, depending on your model — consult your appliance's service documentation for the exact access point. Disconnect the wiring connector from the old igniter and remove the mounting screws securing it in place. Install the new UNIVRND using the included mounting bracket and hardware, securing it in the same position, and connect the wiring using the included porcelain high-temperature wire nuts rather than standard wire nuts, since ordinary ones aren't rated for the heat in this area. Restore the gas supply and power. Test the burner according to your appliance's normal operation, and confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights reliably. If you are not fully comfortable working with gas line connections, have a qualified technician perform this repair instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include everything I need to install it, or just the igniter itself?
This is a complete kit — it includes the igniter, mounting hardware, a mounting bracket, installation instructions, and 2 porcelain, high-temperature wire nuts. Use the included porcelain wire nuts rather than standard ones when making the wiring connection, since this area gets hot enough that ordinary wire nuts aren't rated for it.
My burner won't light. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed igniter. Since this component is what heats up to light the gas at the burner, a weakened or failed igniter element can prevent the burner from lighting at all, or cause slow, inconsistent ignition.
If this is a "universal" part, do I still need to check compatibility?
Yes. Even though this igniter is designed to fit a broad range of GE gas range and oven models, GE's own guidance specifically notes that similar-looking igniters can have small variations in size and shape between models. Confirm your part number and model before ordering to avoid a mismatch.
Is this safe to install myself?
This involves working near a gas appliance's ignition system, so extra care is warranted. Always shut off the gas supply and power before starting, and if you're not comfortable working with gas connections or you smell gas at any point, stop and have a qualified technician complete the repair instead.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original ignition element design, lead length, and mounting configuration of the igniter it's designed to replace.
