A.o. Smith 100076244 Igniter Rod Kit Water Heater

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100076244 is an igniter rod kit designed to restore reliable ignition in A.O. SMITH water heaters. The igniter rod is a critical component in the pilot or direct-ignition system, generating the spark or serving as the sensing element that confirms burner flame is present. When an igniter rod fails or degrades, the unit may fail to light or may lock out on a no-ignition fault. This kit supplies the replacement hardware needed to return the system to factory-specified operation. Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or gas appliance technician.

This igniter rod kit is intended for use in A.O. SMITH gas water heater applications. Based on the available data, it is confirmed compatible with the T-KJR model in both liquefied petroleum (LP) and natural gas (NG) configurations. The part is suited for residential or light commercial water heating service where this burner assembly is present.
