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.
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.

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance — Turn Off Gas Supply And Power Before Starting This is a gas ignition component. Before beginning any work, unplug the range or shut off power at the breaker, and shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the shutoff valve. If you smell gas at any point during this repair, stop immediately, do not operate any switches, leave the area, and contact your gas utility or a qualified technician from a safe location. Access to the igniter typically requires removing the oven bottom panel or reaching behind the range's rear panel, depending on your model — consult your appliance's service documentation for the exact access point. Disconnect the wiring connector from the old igniter and remove the mounting screws securing it in place. Install the new UNIVRND using the included mounting bracket and hardware, securing it in the same position, and connect the wiring using the included porcelain high-temperature wire nuts rather than standard wire nuts, since ordinary ones aren't rated for the heat in this area. Restore the gas supply and power. Test the burner according to your appliance's normal operation, and confirm the igniter glows and the burner lights reliably. If you are not fully comfortable working with gas line connections, have a qualified technician perform this repair instead.
⚠️ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. For more information, visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include everything I need to install it, or just the igniter itself?
This is a complete kit — it includes the igniter, mounting hardware, a mounting bracket, installation instructions, and 2 porcelain, high-temperature wire nuts. Use the included porcelain wire nuts rather than standard ones when making the wiring connection, since this area gets hot enough that ordinary wire nuts aren't rated for it.
My burner won't light. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed igniter. Since this component is what heats up to light the gas at the burner, a weakened or failed igniter element can prevent the burner from lighting at all, or cause slow, inconsistent ignition.
If this is a "universal" part, do I still need to check compatibility?
Yes. Even though this igniter is designed to fit a broad range of GE gas range and oven models, GE's own guidance specifically notes that similar-looking igniters can have small variations in size and shape between models. Confirm your part number and model before ordering to avoid a mismatch.
Is this safe to install myself?
This involves working near a gas appliance's ignition system, so extra care is warranted. Always shut off the gas supply and power before starting, and if you're not comfortable working with gas connections or you smell gas at any point, stop and have a qualified technician complete the repair instead.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original ignition element design, lead length, and mounting configuration of the igniter it's designed to replace.

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.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO XGR403 Gas Oven Round Igniter fixes GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, RCA, Roper, Whirlpool, and Electrolux gas ranges where the oven or broiler igniter glows but the burner never lights, or the oven doesn't heat at all. Round-style silicon carbide igniter, 3-1/2" long, 120V, 2.5–3.0A. Complete kit with mounting bracket and ceramic wire nuts. Replaces WB2X9154, 5304401265, 4342528, GR403, AR403, SGR403, WB13K10027, WB13K3, WB13K4, WB13K1, AP2014008, PS243425. Round style only — this igniter will NOT replace a flat-style (hot surface) igniter.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Oven or broiler igniter glows but the burner never lights
Igniter glows for 90 seconds or longer with no ignition — a strong sign it's too weak to open the gas valve
Oven doesn't heat at all despite the igniter appearing to glow normally
Gas smell near the igniter without ignition — igniter drawing insufficient current to trip the valve
Igniter that used to glow bright orange now glows dim or dull
Visible cracks, chips, or a broken tip on the ceramic-bodied igniter
Intermittent ignition — sometimes lights, sometimes doesn't
Igniter that doesn't glow at all — may indicate the igniter or its wiring has failed completely

Compatibility
This round-style igniter is a universal replacement compatible with select gas ranges, ovens, and broilers from the following brands:
GE and Hotpoint gas ranges (select models using a round XL44-style igniter)
Kenmore and RCA gas ranges (select GE-built models)
Roper gas ranges (select models)
Whirlpool gas ranges (select models)
Electrolux gas ranges (select models)
Note — round style only, and it may be a bake OR broil igniter: This is a round-style igniter and will NOT replace a flat-style (hot surface) igniter used on other gas range platforms — the two are not interchangeable. Additionally, many gas ranges use a round igniter for both the bake and broil burners; some models use different igniters for each, so confirm whether the failing igniter is for the bake or broil compartment before ordering. Always verify your full model number and igniter style before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Gas Appliance Turn off the gas supply to the range at the shutoff valve and unplug the range (or shut off its circuit breaker) before beginning. 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.

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.
⚠️ Installation Instructions Unplug the range and shut off the gas supply before beginning. Open the oven door and remove the oven racks. Lift and remove the oven bottom panel by unscrewing the retaining screws. Remove the heat shield (if present) to expose the burner and igniter assembly. Unscrew the igniter mounting screws — typically one or two — and carefully disconnect the wire connector. Connect the new W11176454 igniter to the wire harness using the two separate connectors, secure it to the burner bracket with the mounting screws, then reinstall the heat shield and oven bottom panel. Restore gas supply and power and run a test cycle to confirm the oven lights correctly. Important: Do not touch the silicon carbide igniter element with bare hands — oils from skin reduce its lifespan. Handle only by the bracket and leads. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between W11176454 and W10914411?
The W11176454 is the updated part number that directly supersedes the older W10914411. Both are the same hot surface igniter for compatible Whirlpool, Amana, and Maytag gas ranges. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with both part numbers.
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 usual to preheat, or the igniter glowing orange but never lighting the burner. A working igniter reaches ignition temperature within about 30–90 seconds and glows bright orange. 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.
Why does my igniter glow but the oven still won't heat?
This is the classic symptom of a weak igniter. The gas safety valve requires a minimum amperage draw — typically around 3.2 amps — to open and allow gas to flow to the burner. As the igniter ages, its resistance increases and amperage drops below this threshold. The igniter still glows because it has some current, but not enough to open the valve. Replacing the igniter resolves this in nearly all cases.
Is the W11176454 compatible with my Amana or Maytag range?
Yes — the W11176454 is compatible with select Amana AGR and AGG series gas ranges and select Maytag AGR series models in addition to Whirlpool WFG320 and WFG505 series ranges. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
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 made from silicon carbide to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original W11176454 igniter.
