DG94-01496A Genuine OEM Samsung Gas Cooktop Valve Assembly
The DG94-01496A is a Genuine OEM Samsung replacement gas cooktop auxiliary valve assembly compatible with select Samsung gas cooktops in the NA30K, NA30N, NA36K, and related series. The valve assembly is the mechanical component that connects the burner knob to the gas supply manifold — when you turn the knob, the valve precisely regulates the flow of gas to the burner, controlling the flame size from low simmer to high heat. Without a properly functioning valve, the burner can fail to light, stay lit, shut off when turned, or stick in position making the knob unable to turn.
This is the auxiliary (single-flow) burner valve, used in burner positions that have a single flame ring. Samsung cooktops typically use multiple valve assemblies — one per burner position — and the center burner (dual-flame) uses a different dual valve assembly. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications, the DG94-01496A directly replaces AP6049694, EAP12072702, PD00052726, and PS12072702. Important: this is a gas appliance part — installation requires shutting off the gas supply, working safely with gas connections, and leak-testing after installation. Installs in 45–60 minutes with basic hand tools by experienced DIYers, or call a qualified appliance technician.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas cooktop. Always shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any repair, and disconnect electrical power to the cooktop. After installation is complete, ALL gas connections must be checked for leaks using a soap-and-water solution or an approved gas leak detector before restoring full gas service. 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 comfortable working with gas connections, have this repair done by a qualified appliance technician. Improper installation of gas components can cause fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide hazards.
⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Significant Disassembly Required Shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and disconnect electrical power. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Remove the burner caps, burner heads, and grates from the cooktop surface. The valve assembly is accessed by removing the cooktop top surface — this typically involves removing 16–20 screws around the perimeter of the cooktop to lift the top free. Photograph everything as you go, including the gas line routing and electrical wire connections. Once the top is off, locate the specific valve being replaced (confirm against the parts diagram and the burner position). Disconnect the gas line from the valve (use two wrenches — one to hold the manifold, one to turn the nut — to avoid stressing the manifold). Disconnect any electrical connections to the valve (spark ignitor wires) and remove the valve's mounting hardware. Install the new DG94-01496A valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the gas line and any electrical connections, and secure the mounting hardware. Reinstall the cooktop top, burner heads, caps, and grates. Before restoring full gas service, turn on the gas at the shutoff valve and use a soap-and-water solution or gas leak detector on all gas connections to confirm there are no leaks. Restore electrical power and test the burner by lighting it and confirming smooth flame control across the full range of the knob. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, set of wrenches (two needed at each gas connection), gas leak detector or soap solution, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my burner knob stuck and won't turn?
A stuck burner knob is one of the most common symptoms of a failed valve assembly on Samsung gas cooktops — and one frequent root cause is water entering the valve during knob cleaning. When the knobs are washed (especially with soap and water) and water enters the valve through the knob shaft, it can rust the internal valve mechanism, causing the knob to seize. Once the valve is internally corroded, no amount of force on the knob will free it without risking damage — replacing the valve is the correct repair. To prevent recurrence on the remaining valves: clean knobs by wiping them in place rather than removing and submerging them, and dry the knob shaft area carefully before reinstalling.
Does this fit all five burners on my Samsung cooktop?
Not necessarily. Samsung gas cooktops typically use multiple valve assemblies — the surrounding burner positions (front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right) use auxiliary single-flow valves like the DG94-01496A, while the center burner is typically a dual-flame burner that uses a different dual-valve assembly. If you're replacing valves on more than one burner, confirm which position each valve is needed for and verify the part numbers in your specific model's parts diagram. The valves often look similar but are not interchangeable across positions.
Can I do this repair myself, or should I hire a technician?
Replacing a gas valve is a manageable DIY repair for someone comfortable with mechanical work, but it does involve disconnecting and reconnecting gas connections — which means leak testing is mandatory and any error can have serious safety consequences. If you have experience with plumbing or gas appliance work and you're confident in your ability to make tight, leak-free connections and properly test them, this is a feasible DIY. If you've never worked with gas connections before, hiring a qualified appliance technician (typical cost $200–$400) is the safer option. The PartsDr customer story mentioned that a quote from a service technician was $750 for this repair, so the DIY savings are substantial — but only if done safely.
My cooktop has more than one stuck or failed valve — should I replace them all at once?
If multiple valves have failed at the same time, it's worth considering. Once the cooktop top is off, all valves are accessible — replacing additional valves only adds 5–10 minutes per valve. Since the valves are exposed to the same age, use, and potential water intrusion, multiple valve failures often indicate the others are heading the same way. However, valve part numbers may differ by burner position (the center dual-flame valve is different from the auxiliary single-flow valves) — make sure you order the correct valve for each specific position.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications. It is the exact same gas cooktop valve assembly installed in compatible Samsung gas cooktops from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XP382 Dryer Gas Valve Solenoid for DC62-00201A
The XP382 is an aftermarket replacement gas valve solenoid coil kit for Samsung gas dryers, and also fits select Whirlpool, Sears, and Kenmore models using a compatible two-coil gas valve. This is a newer-style coil kit that fits most dryers using a two-coil gas valve design, and it works alongside the gas valve assembly (DC62-00201A) to regulate the precise amount of gas needed to properly combust and generate heat for drying clothes.
Over time, these solenoid coils can weaken or fail electrically, preventing the gas valve from opening correctly even when the igniter is functioning normally. Symptoms of a failing gas valve solenoid include the burner not igniting even though the igniter glows, weak or inconsistent heat, or the dryer running a full cycle with little to no heat.
Quick Answer
The XP382 Dryer Gas Valve Solenoid fixes Samsung, Whirlpool, Sears, and Kenmore gas dryers using a compatible two-coil gas valve, where the burner isn't igniting despite the igniter glowing, heat is weak or inconsistent, or the dryer runs without heating. Fits Samsung DC62-00201A gas valve assembly. This is a gas ignition component — always shut off the gas supply and let the dryer cool before working on it, and if you smell gas at any point, stop and call a professional.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Burner not igniting even though the igniter glows normally

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Gas Supply And Unplug Dryer Before Starting This is a gas ignition component. Turn off the gas supply to the dryer at the shutoff valve and disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Allow the dryer to cool fully if it has recently been in use. Wear work gloves. 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 the gas valve assembly, typically located near the burner housing — consult your dryer's service documentation for the exact access point on your model. Locate the old solenoid coils and disconnect their wiring. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old coils to the valve body and pull them free. Install the new XP382 coils in the same position, reconnect the wiring fully, and secure the mounting hardware. Restore the gas supply and power, then test the burner to confirm it ignites reliably with consistent heat. If you are not fully comfortable working with gas line connections, have a qualified technician perform this repair instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
My igniter glows but the burner doesn't light. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a classic sign of a failed gas valve solenoid. The igniter can glow and reach ignition temperature normally, but if the solenoid coils that open the gas valve have failed electrically, no gas reaches the burner to actually ignite, leaving the dryer to run without heat.
Do I need the whole gas valve assembly, or just this coil kit?
If the valve body itself is intact and only the solenoid coils have failed, this coil kit is the more targeted and typically less expensive repair. If the valve body is cracked, stuck, or otherwise physically damaged, you'll need the complete DC62-00201A gas valve assembly instead.
Is it safe to replace this myself?
This repair involves working around your dryer's gas supply line, so take care to fully shut off the gas and let the appliance cool before starting. If you're not comfortable working around gas appliances, or if you smell gas at any point, stop and contact a qualified technician or your gas utility rather than continuing the repair yourself.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured to match the coil configuration and connection type needed to work with the DC62-00201A gas valve assembly used in compatible Samsung, Whirlpool, Sears, and Kenmore gas dryers.

XPARTCO BPV-31 Refrigerator Refrigerant Piercing Valve / Line Tap Valve Kit
The XPARTCO BPV-31 is a universal bullet piercing tap valve (line tap valve) used to quickly access a sealed refrigerant line on refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and other HVAC systems — without soldering or brazing. The valve clamps around a copper refrigerant line and, when the valve stem is tightened with the included hex key, a hardened piercing needle punctures the tubing to create an access port. This lets a technician connect a charging hose or gauge to check pressure, pull a vacuum, or add refrigerant to a system that has no factory service port. It's a staple tool for appliance service and DIY refrigerator/freezer repair.
Fits 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" outside diameter copper pipes with the included adapters. The access port connection is a 1/4" male flare fitting. Rated to 500 PSI maximum, with a patented permanent gasket providing over 180 inch-lbs of sealing force — around 50 times the sealing area of a standard O-ring type valve — pressure tested at 250°F. Corrosion-resistant metal (zinc alloy) construction with a piercing needle engineered for concentricity and hardness to seat perfectly every time. Non-positional mounting requires no separate adapter valve and only 2" of clearance for installation. Each kit includes the piercing valve, a hex key wrench, and 2 adapters. It replaces AP4502525, BPV31, BPV31D, GPV14, GPV31, GPV38, GPV56, and MPV31.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Refrigerant Safety Warning Working with sealed refrigerant systems can expose you to pressurized refrigerant, which can cause frostbite, eye injury, and other harm. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves before piercing any line. Refrigerant handling may be regulated in your area — certain refrigerants require EPA certification (in the US) to purchase and handle. Never vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. This valve is NOT rated for R410a systems (too high pressure). If you're not experienced with refrigerant systems, have this work done by a qualified HVAC or appliance technician.
⚠️ Installation Steps — Clean the Line First Put on safety glasses and protective gloves. Identify the copper line you want to tap and confirm its outside diameter (1/4", 5/16", or 3/8") so you can select the correct included adapter. Clean the section of pipe where the valve will mount to prevent debris from entering the refrigerant line. Ensure the composite seal "O" ring/gasket is properly in place inside the valve. Place the two halves of the valve saddle around the pipe using the appropriate adapter insert for your pipe size. Install and evenly tighten the socket-head screws to clamp the valve body firmly around the pipe. To pierce the line, turn the valve stem clockwise with the included hex key until the needle punctures the tubing, then back the stem out (counterclockwise) to open the port and allow flow. To connect a gauge or charging hose: remove the cap, attach your hose to the 1/4" flare port, and open the valve by turning the stem counterclockwise. When finished, close the valve (turn the stem clockwise) BEFORE disconnecting the hose, then reinstall the protective cap. Note: the compact valve needs only 2" of clearance around the pipe. Tools needed: Included hex key wrench, safety glasses, protective gloves. (Note: to attach a gauge directly to the BPV, a retrofit valve adapter may be required — not included.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bullet piercing valve used for?
A bullet piercing valve (line tap valve) lets you tap into a sealed copper refrigerant line to create an access port — without cutting, soldering, or brazing the line. Most household refrigerators and freezers are sealed systems with no factory service port, so if you need to check the refrigerant pressure, pull a vacuum, or add refrigerant, a piercing valve gives you that access quickly. It clamps around the pipe, and a needle pierces the tubing when you tighten the valve stem. It's commonly used in appliance repair and HVAC service, and by DIYers reviving a garage refrigerator or freezer that has lost its charge.
Which pipe sizes does this fit?
The BPV-31 fits 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" outside diameter copper pipes using the included adapters. Before installing, measure or confirm your refrigerant line's outside diameter and select the matching adapter insert. Getting the size right is essential for a proper seal — an incorrectly sized adapter won't clamp tightly and can leak. If you're not sure of your line size, measure the outside diameter of the copper tubing with calipers or a pipe gauge.
Can I use this on an R410a system?
No — the BPV-31 is NOT rated for R410a refrigerant systems. R410a operates at significantly higher pressures than older refrigerants like R-12, R-22, and R-134a, and exceeds the safe working pressure of this valve (500 PSI max). Using it on an R410a system is unsafe and could result in valve failure or refrigerant release. This valve is appropriate for lower-pressure systems using R-12, R-22, R-134a, and similar refrigerants. For R410a systems, use service equipment specifically rated for R410a pressures.
Is a piercing valve a permanent solution?
Piercing valves are best thought of as a service-access tool rather than a permanent fixture. They work reliably for tapping into a line to diagnose, vacuum, or charge a system, and the BPV-31's patented gasket provides a much stronger seal than basic O-ring valves. However, for a long-term permanent service port, many technicians prefer to cut the line and braze in a proper Schrader service port. Some technicians have concerns about the very long-term sealing of any piercing valve left permanently on a line. If you leave the valve installed, make sure the stem is closed and the cap is in place, and check periodically for leaks.
Do I need EPA certification to add refrigerant?
In the United States, handling many refrigerants (and purchasing them) requires EPA Section 608 certification, and it is illegal to intentionally vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Regulations vary by refrigerant type and jurisdiction. The piercing valve itself is a tool that anyone can install, but the refrigerant handling that follows may be regulated. If you're a DIYer, research the rules that apply to your specific refrigerant and location, or have the refrigerant work done by a certified technician. Always recover refrigerant properly rather than venting it.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket universal service tool built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. The BPV-31 is a universal industry-standard bullet piercing valve design (also sold as Supco BPV31 and equivalent), manufactured from corrosion-resistant zinc alloy to match the fit, 1/4"/5/16"/3/8" pipe compatibility, 1/4" flare port, 500 PSI rating, and patented-style sealing gasket of the standard BPV-31 line tap valve. It replaces AP4502525, BPV31D, GPV14, GPV31, GPV38, GPV56, and MPV31.

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas oven. 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.

XPARTCO W11590294 Gas Oven Igniter
The XPARTCO W11590294 is an aftermarket replacement flat-style silicon carbide gas oven igniter compatible with select Whirlpool, Amana, Maytag, KitchenAid, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore gas ranges in the WFG, AGR, VRGW, and related series. The oven igniter is a silicon carbide heating element mounted next to the oven burner tube. When a bake or broil cycle is started, the igniter draws electrical current through the gas safety valve, which holds the valve open — and simultaneously heats to ignition temperature to light the gas. The igniter must draw at least 3.2 amps to hold the gas valve fully open; as the silicon carbide element ages and weakens, it draws progressively less current, causing the oven to take too long to light, not light at all, or glow without ever opening the gas valve.
This flat-style igniter is rated 3.3–3.6 amps at 120V and measures approximately 4" wide x 1" high. It features a silicon carbide element, high-temperature ceramic housing, and metal bracket. The current part number W11590294 directly supersedes W11208965, W11613927, and W11506321 — all four are the same igniter across successive production revisions. It also replaces 4977065, AP7193166, PS16744629, and EAP16744629. Pre-attached wire connectors included. Note: do not touch the silicon carbide element with bare hands — skin oils cause premature burnout. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas range. 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 confirmed secure.
⚠️ Handle With Care — Do Not Touch the Igniter Element The silicon carbide igniter element is fragile and sensitive to skin oils. Handle only by the bracket and wiring — never touch the silicon carbide element itself. To install: unplug the range and shut off gas. Remove the oven racks and oven bottom panel to expose the burner assembly. Locate the old igniter mounted next to the oven burner tube. Disconnect the igniter's wire connectors and remove the two mounting screws securing the bracket. Note the wire routing inside the range cavity before removing — be careful not to let the burner wires fall back into the range body. Connect the new W11590294 igniter's pre-attached connectors to the matching wires from the range. Mount the new igniter in the same position with the two bracket screws. Reinstall the oven bottom panel and racks. Restore gas and power, then run a bake cycle and confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights within 60–90 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between W11590294, W11208965, W11613927, and W11506321?
These are all part numbers for the same gas oven igniter across successive production revisions by Whirlpool. W11506321 was an earlier version, W11613927 and W11208965 were subsequent updates, and W11590294 is the current production number. All four are the same flat silicon carbide igniter with the same specifications, dimensions, and function. If your range's parts diagram or old igniter shows any of these numbers, this replacement covers all of them.
My oven igniter glows but the burner never lights — is this the right part?
Yes — an igniter that glows but fails to light the burner is the most common symptom of a weakened igniter. The gas safety valve requires at least 3.2 amps of current draw through the igniter to hold it open. As the silicon carbide element ages, it draws less current — eventually reaching a point where it glows visibly but no longer draws enough current to fully open the gas valve. If the igniter glows for more than 90 seconds without the burner lighting, it needs replacement. The W11590294 is rated 3.3–3.6 amps, which is the correct range to reliably activate the safety valve on compatible models.
What is the difference between W11590294 and W11176454?
Both are flat silicon carbide oven igniters for Whirlpool-family gas ranges, but for different model series. The W11590294 is used on the WFG320, WFG505, and related entry-level Whirlpool and Amana gas ranges. The W11176454 (which replaces W10914411) is used on higher-end Whirlpool, Amana, and Maytag models across a broader range of WFG, MGR, and related series. They have the same amperage rating and igniter style but are not always interchangeable — always verify your model number before ordering to confirm which igniter is correct for your range.
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, the igniter is too weak. For a more precise test, use a multimeter in resistance mode — disconnect the igniter and measure resistance across the element. A working W11590294-style igniter typically reads between 40–100 ohms at room temperature. An open circuit (infinite resistance) means the element has burned through completely. You can also test in operation by measuring current draw at the igniter circuit — a reading below 3.2 amps indicates the igniter is too weak to reliably open the gas valve.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from silicon carbide, ceramic, metal, and plastic to match the amperage draw, dimensions, and performance of the original W11590294 gas oven igniter.

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. It directly replaces 316489403, 5304508786, 7316489403, 501RB, 1513415, AH2364063, AP4433236, EA2364063, EAP2364063, PD00000756, and PS2364063. Important: the igniter element is fragile — handle it only by the bracket, never by the element itself. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is installed in a gas oven. 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.

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.

242252702 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Valve
The 242252702 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM triple-solenoid water inlet valve assembly for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and White-Westinghouse side-by-side refrigerators. This valve is the central control point where your home's water supply connects to the refrigerator, and it manages water flow to both the ice maker and the door-mounted water dispenser through three separate solenoids housed in one assembly, each opening independently depending on what's being called for.
Rated 120V, 50/60Hz per solenoid (20W maroon, 20W yellow, 35W green — each solenoid's wire is color-coded), this valve has 4 outlets total: one 1/4" tube inlet, three 5/16" tube outlets, and one 1/4" tube outlet. It measures approximately 7-1/8"L x 3-3/4"W x 3-1/4"H and ships as a complete assembly with mounting bracket and installation instructions. This valve directly replaces the older 241734302 design and uses updated quick-connect fittings in place of the older screw-on style. A failing valve typically shows up as the ice maker or dispenser not working, slow water flow, or — notably — an overflowing ice maker caused by the valve not shutting off completely if household water pressure is too low. It directly replaces 240321801, 240505101, 240505102, 240508101, 240508102, 240531101, 241734301, 241734302, 7241734301, WV2702, 2692163, AP5671757, EAP7784018, PD00000153, PS7784018, and K-76150.
Quick Answer
The 242252702 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Valve fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and White-Westinghouse side-by-side refrigerators where the ice maker or water dispenser isn't working, water flow is slow, or the ice maker is overflowing. Triple-solenoid, 4-outlet valve assembly with bracket. Replaces 240321801, 240505101, 240505102, 240508101, 240508102, 240531101, 241734301, 241734302, 7241734301, WV2702, 2692163, AP5671757, EAP7784018, PD00000153, PS7784018, K-76150. This valve needs at least 20 psi of household water pressure to shut off completely — if pressure is too low, the valve can leak and cause the ice maker to overflow even when the valve itself is functioning correctly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear of the cabinet. Remove the two hex screws securing the old valve. Before disconnecting anything, note or photograph which plastic tube connects to which port on the multi-port valve assembly — with three solenoids and multiple outlets, getting a hose on the wrong port will send water to the wrong place. Disconnect the water supply hose, the electrical connectors (which are color-coded to their matching solenoids on the new valve), and the outlet hoses, then remove the old valve. Install the new 242252702 in the same position with its included mounting bracket, secure it with the hex screws, and reconnect each outlet hose to its correct port exactly as noted. Reconnect the color-coded electrical connectors to their matching solenoid wires. Reattach the water supply hose, tightening securely. While the back of the refrigerator is accessible, it's also a good opportunity to clean the condenser coils and surrounding area. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place, then test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the following day. Tools needed: hex screwdriver or nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker is overflowing. Is this the valve?
Possibly, but check your household water pressure first. This valve requires a minimum of 20 psi to shut off fully — if your home's water pressure is below that, the valve may not close completely even though it's functioning correctly, letting water leak through and overflow the ice maker. If your water pressure tests below 20 psi, that's the underlying cause rather than a defective valve, and addressing the pressure issue (or installing a pressure-boosting solution) is the correct fix.
The new valve looks different from my old one. Is that normal?
Yes. This valve has been updated to use quick-connect fittings in place of the older screw-on style used on earlier units, so the connection points may look different from what you're used to. It's still a correct, direct functional replacement — the new fittings just make installation somewhat easier.
How do I know which hose goes where? This valve has multiple outlets.
Note or photograph the hose routing on your old valve before disconnecting anything — with three solenoids and four total outlets, it's easy to reverse a connection if you're not careful. The electrical connectors are color-coded (maroon, yellow, green) to help you match them to the correct solenoid on the new valve, which makes the wiring side more foolproof than the hose routing.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original triple-solenoid design, wattage per solenoid, and outlet configuration of the water valve originally installed in your refrigerator.
