Whirlpool W11788751 Surface Igniter

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11788751 is a surface igniter designed to initiate combustion in gas cooking appliances. The igniter generates the high-voltage spark needed to light surface burners, serving as the first point of contact in the burner ignition sequence. This component is a direct replacement part suited for installation by appliance service technicians or qualified trade professionals working on residential gas ranges and cooktops. It is a critical wear item that is replaced when spark output is absent, weak, or erratic.

This surface igniter is intended for use in residential gas ranges and cooktops. It fits into the burner assembly and connects to the appliance ignition module. Typical installation scenarios include warranty service, preventive maintenance, and repair calls where one or more burners fail to ignite.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve before beginning any service. Handle the igniter carefully to avoid contact with the ceramic body, as oils from skin can degrade the component. Verify igniter resistance and spark module output with a multimeter before completing reassembly.
