Whirlpool W10146042 Surface Igniter Electrode Wire

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W10146042 is a surface igniter electrode wire designed for gas cooking appliances. This OEM replacement component carries the high-voltage spark from the ignition module to the burner electrode, initiating combustion at the surface burner. At approximately 900mm in length, the wire is routed through the cooktop or range body to connect the control module to individual burner igniters. It is installed by appliance service technicians during routine ignition system repairs or as part of a broader burner assembly service.

This electrode wire is used in residential gas ranges and dual-fuel cooking appliances. It is a direct OEM-style replacement suited for high-BTU professional-style ranges commonly found in residential kitchens. The part is typically replaced when the igniter fails to spark, sparks intermittently, or when the wire insulation shows visible damage from heat exposure or grease contamination.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Before servicing, disconnect the range from its electrical power source and shut off the gas supply at the appliance shutoff valve. Route the replacement wire along the original path, keeping it clear of burner grates, drip pans, and heat sources to prevent premature insulation degradation. Verify the terminal connections are fully seated at both the ignition module and the electrode before restoring power.
