Whirlpool W11703398 Mid Burner Electrode

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11703398 is a mid burner electrode designed as a direct OEM replacement for select Whirlpool and KitchenAid gas ranges and cooktops. This igniter electrode generates the high-voltage spark that ignites the mid burner gas flow during each cook cycle. It is a precision-fit component matched to specific burner assemblies and is typically replaced by appliance technicians when the mid burner fails to ignite, sparks intermittently, or does not spark at all. At 5.25 x 4.75 x 1.0 inches, the part is compact and mounts directly within the burner assembly without modification.

This electrode is intended for residential gas range and cooktop applications. It is used in freestanding and slide-in gas range configurations found in home kitchens. Replacement is most commonly performed during service calls where the mid burner igniter has cracked, fouled beyond cleaning, or failed electrically. Compatible model numbers are listed below and should be cross-checked before ordering to confirm fitment.

Confirm the replacement electrode is fully seated and the connector is secure before restoring power and testing ignition.
