Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for GE, Kenmore, and Hotpoint gas ranges and ovens.
  • Specifically compatible with XL44 series and other models utilizing the round-style igniter configuration.
  • Note: This is not a universal part. Verify the shape and electrical requirements of your existing igniter before installation.

When to Replace

  • Oven fails to heat or reach set temperature.
  • Igniter element does not glow orange when the oven is turned on.
  • Gas safety valve fails to open despite the igniter glowing (often caused by a weak igniter that cannot draw sufficient amperage).
  • Visible damage, such as cracks or breaks, on the ceramic heating element.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect power and gas supply to the appliance before beginning repairs.
  • Avoid touching the ceramic element of the new igniter with bare hands; oils from skin can cause premature failure.
  • Use ceramic wire nuts to ensure high-heat resistance for the electrical connections.
  • Test the igniter cycle after installation to ensure the gas safety valve opens reliably.

FAQ

The most common sign is that your oven or broiler fails to heat up, or takes an exceptionally long time to reach the set temperature. If you notice the oven burner does not light at all, the igniter is likely no longer drawing the required 2.5 to 3.0 amps needed to open the gas safety valve.

Installation is a straightforward repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will need basic hand tools, such as a screwdriver and potentially wire nuts. Always ensure the range is unplugged or the circuit breaker is shut off before beginning work, and wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal edges inside the oven cavity.
Yes. The igniter element is extremely fragile and can be damaged if dropped or handled roughly. Avoid touching the white ceramic heating element with your bare fingers, as oils from your skin can create hot spots and lead to premature failure. Handle the part by the base or the metal bracket.
