XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch The XPARTCO 17438200000160 is an aftermarket replacement gas dryer flame switch compatible with select Midea, Insignia gas dryers, including the MLG45N1BWW, MLG45N3BMG, MLG45N3BWW, MLG52S7AWW, CDG41N1AW/CDG45N1AW series, NSDRE67WH8A, NSFDRG67WH8A, NSDRE67WH8AC, NSTDRG75W1. The flame switch is a safety component mounted on the burner assembly that confirms a flame is actually present after the gas valve opens and the igniter lights the burner. If the switch does not detect a flame within the expected window, it signals the control board to shut off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas from continuing to flow into the dryer cabinet. When the flame switch fails, the dryer may not heat at all, may shut off the burner shortly after ignition (short-cycling the flame), may trip a no-heat fault code on models with digital displays, or — in rarer failure modes — may fail to shut off gas flow appropriately, which is a safety-relevant failure. It directly replaces 17438200000160 (Midea OEM). Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 17438200000160 Gas Dryer Flame Switch fixes Midea gas dryers that won't heat, where the burner lights and then shuts off shortly after ignition, or where a no-heat fault is displayed.

Always unplug the dryer 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. If you are not comfortable working on gas appliances or safety-relevant flame-detection components, have this part installed by a qualified technician. ⚠️ Wear Work Gloves — Access Requires Cabinet Disassembly Disconnect power and shut off gas before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. Remove the lint filter and the screws securing the lint filter housing. Release the top panel locking clips with a putty knife and lift the top panel. Disconnect the door switch harness and remove the front panel to access the drum and burner assembly. Locate the flame switch mounted on the burner assembly — it is positioned to detect the flame produced once the igniter lights the gas. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the wires from the old flame switch, remove the mounting screw, and pull the switch free. Install the new 17438200000160 flame switch in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the wires. Reassemble the front panel, drum, and top panel in reverse order. Restore gas and power, and run a test heat cycle to confirm the burner ignites and stays lit normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does the flame switch do, and how is it different from an igniter? The igniter is the component that heats up and ignites the gas at the burner. The flame switch is a separate safety component that confirms a flame is actually present after the igniter has done its job and the gas valve has opened. If the flame switch does not detect the expected flame condition, it signals the control system to close the gas valve, stopping gas flow. This two-part system — ignition plus flame confirmation — is a standard safety design in gas dryers and gas appliances generally, ensuring gas does not continue flowing if combustion isn't actually occurring. My burner lights and then shuts off after a few seconds — is this the flame switch? Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing flame switch. If the switch is not reliably maintaining its "flame detected" signal to the control board even though the burner is genuinely lit, the system may interpret this as a flame failure and shut the gas valve as a safety precaution — causing the burner to repeatedly light and then extinguish. This short-cycling pattern during what should be a continuous heat cycle is a strong indicator that the flame switch needs replacement. Why is this called a "flame switch" rather than a "flame sensor"? Different manufacturers use different terminology for similar flame-detection safety components. On Whirlpool-family gas dryers, this type of part is typically called a "flame sensor" — a bimetal-style sensor near the igniter that closes a circuit when it senses sufficient heat. Midea's parts catalog labels this specific component the "flame switch," and it serves an analogous safety role within the Midea gas burner system: confirming the presence of a flame after ignition. The terminology differs by manufacturer, but the safety function is similar in concept. Why does this repair require opening the whole dryer cabinet? On Midea gas dryers, the flame switch is mounted directly on the burner assembly inside the dryer cabinet, which is only accessible after removing the lint filter housing, releasing the top panel, and removing the front panel. This is a more involved repair than swapping an externally accessible part, but it follows the same general gas dryer disassembly procedure used for replacing igniters, thermal fuses, and other burner-area components. Since the cabinet must be opened, it can be a good opportunity to inspect other burner components (igniter, gas valve coils) for wear at the same time. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and function of the original 17438200000160 Midea flame switch.

Wear work gloves throughout — there are sharp sheet metal edges inside the dryer cabinet. The new heating element coil is sensitive to skin oils, which can cause premature burnout — handle the element only by the metal frame, not the coil wire. Remove the rear panel of the dryer to access the heating element housing/cannister. Take a photo of all wire connections and the orientation of the element before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wires from the old element terminals and remove the housing from the dryer. With the housing on a workbench, remove the old element from inside the housing — note exactly how it sits and how the restring is positioned. Install the new DC47-00019A element into the same housing, following the same orientation as the old element. Do not let the Ni-Cr heating wire touch the housing during installation — this can cause arcing and immediate burnout. Reinstall the housing in the dryer, reconnect all wires snugly to the correct terminals, and reinstall the rear panel. Restore power and run a test heat cycle to confirm the dryer is heating properly. While the rear panel is open, inspect the high-limit thermostat, thermal fuse, and thermistor — if the element failed due to overheating, these may also be stressed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Does this really fit both Samsung AND Whirlpool dryers? Yes — this is one of the more unusual cases in dryer parts where an aftermarket heating element has been designed to serve as a direct replacement for both the Samsung DC47-00019A and the Whirlpool/Maytag WP35001247 (35001247) elements. The two OEM elements share the same physical dimensions, electrical specifications (240V, 5300W), and terminal configuration, allowing a single aftermarket element to function correctly in both platforms. Compatible models span Samsung's DV series, Whirlpool/Maytag's affected dryers (MDE6700/MDG6700 and similar), and select Amana, Inglis, and Kenmore Whirlpool-built or Samsung-built models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering. Why do I need to reuse the housing from the old element? This listing is for the heating element assembly only — the metal cannister or housing that contains the element is not included. The housing is a heavy gauge metal enclosure with mounting brackets that secure it to the dryer cabinet, along with airflow ducting that directs air across the heating coil. Reusing the housing keeps the cost down and is standard practice for this type of replacement. Carefully remove the old element from the housing, install the new element in its place, and then reinstall the housing in the dryer. If your housing is damaged or burned through, it will need to be replaced separately. How do I know if the heating element has failed? The clearest sign is a dryer that tumbles and runs through a complete cycle normally but produces little or no heat, leaving clothes damp at the end. You may also notice the dryer taking much longer than usual to dry a load as it tries to compensate. Visually inspecting the element after removing the rear panel can reveal burn marks, breaks in the coil, or visible arcing damage. A multimeter continuity test on the disconnected element will also confirm failure — a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads an open circuit (no continuity). Should I replace the thermal fuse and thermostats at the same time? It's a good idea to inspect them. When a heating element fails — especially if it failed due to overheating rather than simple end-of-life wear — the paired thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and thermistor located in the same area can also be stressed by the heat event. Since the rear panel must already be open to replace the element, checking these components' continuity with a multimeter is a quick step that can prevent a repeat repair if any of them are also on the verge of failing. 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 or Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (240V, 5300W), dimensions, and Ni-Cr coil construction of the original DC47-00019A and WP35001247 heating elements that it replaces.

XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element The XPARTCO 279838 is an aftermarket replacement heating element for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers. This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: current flows through a nickel-chromium coil, which glows and radiates heat as the blower pushes air across it and into the drum. This part is often nicknamed the "shorty" because of its compact size compared to the larger, older Whirlpool element it replaced, part number 4391960 — the shorty design is used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing. Over years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. A quick way to check: a healthy element reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms across its terminals with a multimeter; a reading of no resistance (open circuit) confirms the element has failed. This element shares the same dryer platform as our WP3392519 thermal fuse and works alongside a cycling thermostat and high-limit thermostat in the same heating circuit — all commonly checked or replaced together when a dryer stops heating. It directly replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, and PS3343130. Quick Answer The XPARTCO 279838 Dryer Heating Element fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Admiral, Inglis, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer. Also called the "shorty" element. Replaces 279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838VP, 279838A, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, W10724237, AP3094254, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, PS3343130. A healthy element reads approximately 9-10 ohms with a multimeter; if the dryer has no heat at all, also check the thermal fuse (such as our WP3392519 listing) before assuming the element is at fault — a blown fuse produces the identical symptom. Common Problems This Part Fixes Dryer runs a full cycle but produces no heat at all Dryer produces some heat, but not enough to dry clothes properly Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer than they used to Clothes coming out cold or barely warm at the end of a cycle Visible break or burned-through section in the heating coil Element that reads no resistance (open circuit) on a multimeter continuity or ohms test Dryer that heats inconsistently, cycling on and off unexpectedly Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the rear panel or the front, depending on your model, to reach the heater duct/blower housing area where the element is mounted. Before removing anything, inspect the old element visually for a break in the coil — sometimes you can see it directly, or feel it by gently wiggling each section of the coil. If nothing is visibly broken, test with a multimeter: place one probe on each terminal and look for a reading of approximately 9-10 ohms on a good element; no resistance at all confirms the element has failed. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old element, remove the mounting screws or clips holding it in the duct housing, and pull it free. Install the new 279838 assembly in the same position, reconnect the wire terminals, and secure the mounting hardware — if the original connection wire shows burning or damage, replace it as well rather than reusing a damaged connector. Reassemble the panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer is heating normally. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 5/16" wrench, Phillips screwdriver, multimeter, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions How do I test whether the element is actually bad? Start with a visual inspection — often you can see a break directly in the coil, or find it by gently wiggling each section to check for a loose or separated point. If nothing is visible, use a multimeter set to ohms and place one probe on each terminal. A good element typically reads approximately 9 to 10 ohms; a reading of no resistance at all (open circuit) confirms the element has failed and needs replacing. My dryer has no heat at all. Should I replace the element first, or check something else? Check the thermal fuse first, since a blown fuse produces the exact same "no heat at all" symptom as a failed heating element and is a cheaper, faster part to test and replace — our WP3392519 listing covers the thermal fuse used on this same dryer platform. If the fuse tests good and the dryer still has no heat, the element itself is the next thing to test. What's the difference between this "shorty" element and the older 4391960? Both are Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but this 279838 is a more compact design used on dryers with the lint filter positioned on the top right near the control housing, while 4391960 is the larger, older element used on earlier Whirlpool dryer platforms. They are not interchangeable, so confirm which style your dryer uses — checking your model number or comparing the physical size of your old element — before ordering. Should I check the connection wire while I'm replacing the element? Yes, it's worth a look. The wire connecting to the element terminals can occasionally show burning or damage if the element was arcing or overheating before it failed. If you notice any discoloration, melting, or damage on the connection wire, replace it along with the element rather than reusing a compromised connector. 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 to match the nickel-chromium coil composition, resistance rating, compact "shorty" form factor, and terminal configuration of the original 279838 heating element used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, and related dryers.

WP3387747 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element The WP3387747 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, and Magic Chef electric dryers — particularly higher-capacity and newer-generation Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series models. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound on ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When the coil burns through, the circuit opens and the dryer produces no heat. When the coil shorts to the housing, the dryer runs too hot or heats continuously after the cycle ends — which is a fire hazard requiring immediate repair. This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5200W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. Note: Whirlpool updated the wattage of this element from the original 5400W down to 5200W — the WP3387747 at 5200W is the correct current OEM replacement for all compatible models. The thermostat and thermal fuse are not included and should be inspected and replaced separately if needed. It directly replaces 3387747, W11344457, W11045584, 80003, 525502, AP6008281, PS11741416, and additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Compatibility This heating element is compatible with select electric dryers only from the following brands and series: Whirlpool electric dryers — Duet (WED8xxx, WED9xxx), Cabrio (WED7xxx), HE series, GEW9xxx, GEQ9xxx, WED4xxx, WED5xxx and more Kenmore / Sears electric dryers — 110 series and Whirlpool-built models (including Kenmore HE2, HE3, Elite HE4, 90 series) Maytag electric dryers — MEDB, MED series Amana electric dryers KitchenAid electric dryers Roper electric dryers Estate electric dryers Crosley electric dryers Inglis electric dryers Admiral electric dryers Jenn-Air electric dryers Magic Chef electric dryers Note: This is for electric dryers only. Gas dryers use a gas burner and do not have a heating element. Also: do not touch the new element's coil wire with bare hands — skin oils degrade the nickel-chromium wire and significantly shorten element life. Handle by the frame and terminals only. Key Features Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit and performance Primary heat source for electric dryers — nickel-chromium resistance coil generates heat for every drying cycle Rated 5200W / 240V — current OEM wattage (updated from original 5400W by Whirlpool) Two 5/16" male terminals — matches original terminal configuration for direct wire connection Metal and ceramic construction — high-temp terminals and ceramic insulators resist heat fatigue Thermostat and thermal fuse are not included — inspect and replace separately if needed Do not touch the coil wire during installation — skin oils degrade nickel-chromium wire Replaces 3387747, W11344457, W11045584, 80003, AP6008281, and PS11741416 Compatible with Whirlpool Duet, Cabrio, HE, GEW/GEQ series and 11 additional brand platforms DIY repair — installs in 20–45 minutes with basic hand tools Product Specifications Part Number WP3387747 Part Type Dryer Heating Element Assembly (Electric) Condition Genuine OEM Application Electric Dryers Only Wattage 5200W (updated from original 5400W — current OEM spec) Voltage 240V AC Coil Material Nickel-chromium resistance wire Terminals Two 5/16" male terminals Material Metal / Ceramic Color Black / Silver Does Not Include Thermostat or thermal fuse — inspect and replace separately Handling Note Do not touch coil wire — skin oils degrade nickel-chromium wire Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Do Not Touch the Coil Wire Disconnect power before beginning. The heating element housing is accessible from the lower front panel of the dryer on most Duet/Cabrio HE models — remove the front kick panel to access the heater housing without fully disassembling the dryer. For other models, remove the back panel. Before touching the new element, review the wiring layout of the old element so you can reconnect wires to the correct terminals. Do not touch the nickel-chromium coil wire with bare hands at any point — skin oils on the wire cause hot spots that will prematurely burn the element. Handle only by the frame, terminals, and housing. Photograph the existing wiring before disconnecting. Disconnect the element terminal wires and the thermostat and thermal fuse wires. Unscrew the housing and remove the old element. Install the new WP3387747 element, reconnect all wiring in the same positions, reinstall the housing and panels, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions My original element was 5400W but this one is 5200W — is that correct? Yes — Whirlpool intentionally updated the wattage of this heating element from 5400W to 5200W during a design revision. The WP3387747 at 5200W is the current correct OEM replacement for all compatible models that previously used the higher-wattage element. While the wattage is slightly lower, the element is designed to provide equivalent drying performance within the thermal control system of compatible dryers. The updated wattage is by manufacturer design and does not indicate a defect or an incorrect part. How do I test if the heating element has failed? Unplug the dryer and disconnect the element terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. A working element shows resistance — typically around 9–12 ohms for a 5200W/240V element. An open circuit confirms the coil has burned through. Also test each terminal individually against the metal housing frame — a working element shows no continuity between either terminal and the housing. If continuity exists between a terminal and the housing, the element coil is shorted to ground and must be replaced immediately — do not operate the dryer in this condition. What is the difference between WP3387747 and 279838? Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool dryer heating elements, but they are for different model generations and are not interchangeable. The 279838 (5400W, 240V) is for standard-capacity Whirlpool-family dryers — many WTW/NED series and standard front-load models. The WP3387747 (5200W, 240V) is for higher-capacity and newer-generation models including Whirlpool Duet, Cabrio, HE, and GEW/GEQ series. Always verify your exact model number to confirm which heating element is correct for your dryer before ordering. Why is it important not to touch the element coil wire? The heating element coil is made of nickel-chromium wire that reaches very high temperatures during operation. Oils from skin contact leave microscopic residue on the wire that creates hot spots when the element heats up — these hot spots cause premature burnout at the contaminated area, often within a few months of installation. Handle the new element by its steel frame, ceramic insulators, and terminals only. If the coil wire is accidentally touched, wipe the contact area with a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol before installation. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

279838 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element The 279838 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dryer heating element assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Admiral, and Magic Chef electric dryers. The heating element is the primary heat source in an electric dryer — a nickel-chromium resistance coil wound around a series of ceramic insulators inside a steel housing. When electricity passes through the coil during the drying cycle, it generates the heat needed to evaporate moisture from clothes. When the element coil burns through at a weak point, the circuit is broken and the dryer produces no heat. This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 5400W / 240V with two 5/16" male terminals. It includes the heating element coil with partial housing and ceramic insulators already mounted — the remaining outer housing from your old assembly is reused. Note: the heating element does not include the thermostat or thermal fuse — those are separate parts.

Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heating element housing at the lower rear of the dryer. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Remove the two wire connections from the element terminals and the thermostat/thermal fuse wire connections from the housing. Unscrew the heating element housing from the dryer cabinet and slide the old assembly out. Remove the inner element frame from the outer housing — the outer housing is reused. Transfer the new 279838 element (which comes with a partial housing) into the existing outer housing. Reinstall the housing into the dryer, reconnect all wiring in the same positions as photographed, reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tip: while the element housing is removed, inspect the thermal fuse (3392519) and high-limit thermostat/cut-off kit (279973) and replace if needed. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver. Frequently Asked Questions How do I test if the heating element has failed? Unplug the dryer and remove the back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect the two wire terminals from the element and set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. Probe both terminals. A working heating element will show a resistance reading — typically between 8 and 15 ohms for a 5400W/240V element. An open circuit (no continuity / infinite resistance) confirms the element coil has burned through at a break point. You can also visually inspect the coil inside the housing for a visible gap, burn spot, or sag in the wire — any break in the coil indicates a failed element. Does this element include the thermostat and thermal fuse? No — the 279838 includes the heating element coil and partial housing only. The high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off fuse are separate parts that mount on the element housing and are not included. When replacing the heating element, it is strongly recommended to also replace these thermal components using the 279973 thermostat kit, as a burned-out element is almost always the result of an overheating condition that also stresses the thermostat and thermal cut-off. Replacing them together ensures the heating system is fully restored and reduces the chance of a repeat failure. Why does the 279838 only come with partial housing? The 279838 heating element is designed as a replacement for the inner coil and frame assembly only — it installs inside the existing outer housing from your old assembly. The outer housing is a steel shell that does not wear out and does not need to be replaced under normal circumstances. By including only the partial housing (inner frame and coil), Whirlpool reduces part cost and simplifies installation — you simply swap the new element into your existing outer housing rather than replacing the entire assembly. Will replacing the heating element fix my dryer if the thermal fuse is also blown? Not by itself. If the thermal fuse (3392519) has also blown — which is common when the heating element fails — replacing only the element will not restore heat because the blown fuse permanently interrupts the circuit. You will need to replace both the heating element and the thermal fuse to restore normal operation. Since a thermal fuse blows due to overheating, also replacing the high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit (279973) at the same time is recommended to ensure complete thermal protection is in place. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same heating element assembly installed in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and related brand electric dryers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO XGR403 Gas Oven Round Igniter Replaces WB2X9154, 5304401265, 4342528 The XPARTCO XGR403 is a universal round-style oven igniter for gas ranges from GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, RCA, Roper, Whirlpool, and Electrolux. This is a silicon carbide (carborundum) igniter, and it does double duty as both the spark source and the safety valve trigger: when the oven or broiler calls for heat, current flows through the igniter and it begins to glow. As it heats up, its electrical resistance drops, which increases the current draw through the circuit — and it's that rising current draw, not the glow itself, that eventually pulls in the gas safety valve and lets gas flow to be ignited by the now white-hot igniter tip. If the igniter can't draw enough current, the valve never opens, even though the igniter is clearly glowing. This is why a weakening round igniter produces such a specific and recognizable symptom: it glows, sometimes for well over a minute, but the oven or broiler never actually lights. GE's own service guidance puts a number on this — if the igniter glows for more than about 90 seconds without opening the valve, it no longer has enough draw to do its job and needs to be replaced. This igniter measures approximately 3-1/2" long, is rated 120V at 2.5–3.0A, and ships as a complete kit with a mounting bracket, ceramic wire nut connectors, and installation instructions. It directly replaces WB2X9154, 5304401265, 4342528, GR403, AR403, SGR403, WB13K10027, WB13K3, WB13K4, WB13K1, AP2014008, PS243425, 300259, 319887, 327617, 330689, 337263, 4336387, 4338008, 8053999, and WB00X6640.

After reassembly, check every disturbed gas connection for leaks using a soapy water solution — bubbling indicates a leak. If you ever smell gas at any point during this repair, do not attempt to light the range or operate any switches; leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. ⚠️ Fragile — Handle By The Bracket Only Wear work gloves. Remove the oven racks and, if replacing the broil igniter, the broiler pan and floor panel as needed to access the igniter assembly, typically located at the front of the burner tube. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. This igniter is extremely fragile — the ceramic body and silicon carbide tip can crack from a light bump or from skin oils weakening the material over time, so handle it only by the metal mounting bracket, never by the ceramic body itself. Disconnect the wire leads at the ceramic wire nut splices (or the terminal connector, depending on your model), then remove the mounting screw and lift the old igniter free. Position the new XGR403 in the same location and orientation relative to the burner tube — proper alignment matters, since the igniter needs to sit close enough to reliably ignite the gas once the valve opens. Secure the mounting bracket, then reconnect the wire leads using the included ceramic wire nuts, twisting them securely and confirming no bare wire is exposed. Restore the gas supply and power, then test the burner and check for leaks at any connection you touched. Watch the igniter glow through a full ignition cycle to confirm the burner lights well within 90 seconds. Tools needed: Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver (model-dependent), soapy water for leak testing, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My igniter glows bright orange but the oven never lights. Is this the right part? Yes, this is the single most common symptom of a failing round igniter. As the igniter ages, its silicon carbide element degrades and can no longer draw enough current to trip open the gas safety valve, even though it still glows. A well-known rule of thumb: if the igniter is glowing for more than about 90 seconds without the burner lighting, it has lost the current draw needed to do its job, and replacement is the correct fix. Can I use this for both the bake and broil igniter? On many GE-platform ranges, yes — the same round igniter design serves both the bake and broil burner positions. However, some model platforms use different igniters for bake versus broil, so before ordering, confirm which compartment's igniter has failed and verify your specific model number to make sure this is the correct igniter for that position. Will this fit my flat-style igniter oven? No. This is a round-style (carborundum rod) igniter and is not interchangeable with a flat-style (hot surface) igniter used on other gas range platforms — the mounting, shape, and electrical characteristics are different. Check the shape of your original igniter before ordering: a round igniter looks like a short ceramic rod or cylinder, while a flat igniter has a thin, flat ceramic element. The igniter doesn't glow at all. Is it definitely the igniter itself? Not necessarily. A round igniter that doesn't glow at all can also point to a wiring problem, a failed connection at the ceramic wire nut splice, or in some cases a bad oven control board sending no signal to the igniter circuit. Check that the wiring is intact and securely connected before assuming the igniter itself has failed completely — a partial glow that just won't sustain, versus zero glow whatsoever, can point you toward different causes. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine brand-specific OEM part, but is manufactured to match the round silicon carbide design, 120V/2.5–3.0A electrical rating, and mounting configuration of the OEM igniters (including WB2X9154) used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, RCA, Roper, Whirlpool, and Electrolux gas ranges.
