Electrolux Top Burner Igniter Orifice (316272000)

The Electrolux Top Burner Igniter Orifice is the assembly that delivers gas and spark together at each surface burner on your range, allowing the flame to ignite reliably when you turn the knob. It combines the orifice, which meters the flow of gas, with the igniter that produces the spark needed to light the burner each time it is used.

The Electrolux Top Burner Igniter Orifice can wear out or fail due to food spills, grease buildup, and moisture that corrode or clog the orifice opening and damage the igniter tip over time. Repeated clicking and heat exposure can also crack the igniter ceramic or weaken the electrical contact, making it harder or impossible to light the burner consistently.

Watch for these symptoms to help determine if this part needs to be replaced on your range:

- Burner clicks repeatedly but will not light

- Burner takes multiple attempts to ignite or lights with a delay

- Flame is uneven, weak, or only lights on one side of the burner

- Burner continues to click after the flame is already lit

- Visible cracks or damage to the igniter ceramic tip

- Burner produces no spark at all when the knob is turned

- Gas smell near the burner without ignition occurring
