Genuine OEM 279311 Dryer Igniter Kit and Bracket
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool 279311 is the gas dryer igniter kit with mounting bracket. The silicon carbide igniter glows to light the gas burner and produce the heat that dries your clothes. When the igniter weakens or breaks, the dryer tumbles but doesn't heat, because the gas valve never gets the signal to light the burner.
This is the original Whirlpool part. It is listed as a replacement for both round and flat igniters, so it covers a long list of older Whirlpool part numbers for gas dryers sold as Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM 279311 Igniter Kit and Bracket fixes a gas dryer that spins but doesn't heat because the igniter has burned out or is too weak to open the gas valve. It is for gas dryers only. Classic symptom: the drum turns and the dryer sounds normal, but clothes come out cold and damp, and you never see the igniter glow.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Gas dryer runs but doesn't heat
Clothes come out damp after a full cycle
Igniter never glows, or glows but the burner never lights
Cracked, broken, or burned igniter
Burner lights unreliably or only some of the time

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power and Shut Off the Gas Unplug the dryer and close the gas shutoff valve before beginning, and wear work gloves. Remove the panel that gives access to the burner assembly per your model's service guide, disconnect the igniter's wire connector, and remove the old igniter and bracket. The igniter is fragile, so handle it by the bracket and avoid bumping or squeezing the element. Install the new kit in the same position, reconnect the wires, then restore the gas and power and test the dryer for heat. If you smell gas at any point, stop, ventilate, and call your gas utility.
Frequently Asked Questions
My gas dryer spins but doesn't heat. Is this the part I need?
A failed igniter is a common cause. If you run the dryer and never see the igniter glow, or it glows but the burner doesn't light, test the igniter for continuity. A bad coil on the gas valve or a thermal fuse can cause the same symptom, so check those too.
Will this fit an electric dryer?
No. This igniter is for gas dryers only. Electric dryers use a heating element instead.
Why did my new igniter break?
Silicon carbide igniters are fragile. Handle the new one by the bracket, and don't press or bump the element during installation. A weak or restricted gas supply or a faulty gas valve can also make igniters fail early.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool-built gas dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

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
Weak or inconsistent heat
Dryer running a full cycle with little to no heat
Gas valve failing to open when the igniter calls for gas

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 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

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

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.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11590294 Gas Oven Igniter fixes Whirlpool-family gas ovens that won't heat, where the igniter glows but the burner never lights, or where preheat takes too long. Flat silicon carbide igniter, 3.3–3.6A, 120V, approx. 4"W x 1"H. Do not touch element with bare hands. Replaces W11208965, W11613927, W11506321, 4977065, AP7193166, PS16744629. Compatible with Whirlpool WFG320/WFG505, Amana AGR4203/AGR6303, Crosley VRGW, Maytag, KitchenAid, and more.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is used in gas ranges. 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 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.
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.

Over time, the oven igniter can wear out or become damaged, which can prevent the oven from heating.
Quick Answer
If your gas oven is not heating, takes too long to preheat, or the burner does not ignite, the 5304509706 igniter may be weak or faulty. Replacing this igniter restores proper ignition and consistent oven performance.

1408 Gas Furnace Hot Surface Igniter
The 1408 is a replacement 120V silicon carbide hot surface igniter for gas furnaces. When the furnace calls for heat, the igniter glows white hot and lights the gas burners. Over time the element can crack or wear out, and a failed igniter is a common reason a gas furnace tries to start but never lights or never heats.
This igniter replaces the Robertshaw 41-408 and the Rheem 62-22868-93. It is a furnace igniter, not an oven igniter, so check the part number and the look of your old igniter before ordering.
Quick Answer
The 1408 Gas Furnace Igniter replaces a cracked, burned-out, or failed hot surface igniter on a gas furnace that tries to start but won't light. Replaces 41-408 and 62-22868-93. Classic symptom: the inducer runs, but the igniter never glows and the burners never light.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Furnace won't light, with no heat
Igniter does not glow when the furnace calls for heat
Cracked, broken, or visibly damaged igniter element
Furnace cycles through ignition attempts and then locks out

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off Power and Gas Before Installing Switch off power to the furnace at the breaker and the furnace switch, and shut off the gas supply, before beginning. Wear work gloves. Let the old igniter cool, disconnect its lead, remove it, and fit the new igniter in the same position. Handle the new igniter only by its ceramic base, and avoid touching the silicon element, since skin oils can cause early failure. If the furnace still does not light, check the control board and the gas valve.
Frequently Asked Questions
My furnace won't light. Is this the part I need?
A cracked or burned-out igniter is a common cause. If the igniter doesn't glow when the furnace calls for heat, or the element is visibly cracked, it is likely the problem. If the igniter glows but the burners don't light, check the gas valve and control.
Does this replace the Robertshaw 41-408 and the Rheem 62-22868-93?
Yes, it is listed as a replacement for both. Because retailers do not list lead length or connector style, compare your old igniter to this one, or contact our support team, before ordering.
Why shouldn't I touch the igniter element?
Skin oils on the silicon element can cause the igniter to fail early. Handle it by the ceramic base only.
Will this fit my furnace?
It is used on gas furnaces that call for a 41-408 or 62-22868-93 igniter, but the series list above is only a sample. Check your furnace's parts list, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
