Hestan 31496 Spark Igniter Center Burner

Product Description

The HESTAN 31496 is a spark igniter designed for the center burner position on Hestan gas cooking appliances. Spark igniters generate the high-voltage electrical arc that ignites the gas at the burner surface when the knob is turned. This component is a direct OEM-style replacement part intended to restore proper ignition function when the original igniter fails to spark or sparks intermittently. Installation is typically handled by an appliance service technician or a qualified gas appliance professional familiar with Hestan cooking equipment.

This igniter is listed as a service replacement part for Hestan gas range and cooktop applications. It is specifically positioned at the center burner, which in multi-burner configurations is typically the highest-output burner location. Confirmed compatible service units include the KGC30-SERVICE and KGC36-SERVICE configurations. Always verify the burner position and model designation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Installation Notes

Spark igniter replacement on gas cooking appliances should be performed by a licensed appliance technician or qualified gas service professional.
