Electrolux Oven Burner Ignitor (316489400)

The Electrolux Oven Burner Ignitor is the component responsible for lighting the gas burner in your range's oven cavity each time you start a bake or broil cycle. It draws electrical current to glow hot enough to open the gas valve and ignite the burner, allowing the oven to reach and maintain your set temperature.

The Electrolux Oven Burner Ignitor can weaken or fail over time due to normal heat cycling, oxidation, or cracks in the ignitor element that reduce its ability to draw enough current to open the gas valve. A weak or broken ignitor is one of the most common reasons a gas oven fails to light or takes unusually long to heat up.

Watch for these symptoms to help determine if the ignitor is the cause of your oven trouble:

- Oven does not light or ignite at all when a bake or broil cycle is started

- Oven takes much longer than usual to preheat or reach temperature

- Ignitor glows but burner never lights

- Oven burner lights inconsistently or goes out mid-cycle

- Smell of gas without ignition when oven is turned on

- Ignitor appears cracked, broken, or visibly damaged

- Oven works on stovetop burners but fails only in the oven cavity
