A.o. Smith 100076318 Ignitor Rod Kit Water Heater

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100076318 is an ignitor rod kit designed as a direct replacement component for select A.O. SMITH water heaters. The ignitor rod is the spark-generating element responsible for lighting the burner assembly during each firing cycle. When this component fails, the burner will not ignite and the unit will not produce hot water. This kit is installed by licensed plumbers or water heater service technicians during routine maintenance or troubleshooting of no-heat and ignition-fault service calls. Replacing the ignitor rod restores reliable burner ignition and returns the unit to normal operation.

This ignitor rod kit is compatible with specific A.O. SMITH T-H3M-series water heater models, including both direct-vent and outdoor configurations running on natural gas or liquid propane. It is suited for residential water heater service where the original ignitor rod has degraded, cracked, or failed to produce a consistent spark. Technicians performing annual maintenance or responding to ignition fault codes will find this a straightforward component swap on supported units.
