Whirlpool W11788752 Surface Igniter

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W11788752 is a surface igniter designed for gas cooking appliances. Surface igniters provide the spark or glow that initiates combustion at the burner. This component is a direct OEM replacement part, installed by appliance technicians or qualified HVAC and gas appliance service professionals during routine maintenance or failure diagnosis. At 1 pound, the part is compact and straightforward to handle during service calls.

Surface igniters are found in residential gas ranges and cooktops where the ignition system requires replacement due to wear, cracking, or failure to spark. This igniter is suited for gas cooking appliance service in residential settings. Installation typically occurs when the existing igniter no longer produces a consistent spark or glow, resulting in ignition failure at one or more burners.
