It works by drawing electrical current through a resistive element that glows red hot, which then ignites the gas flowing into the burner and signals the gas valve to open once it reaches the right temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#ffff99\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eImportant Compatibility Note:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePart number \u003cstrong\u003eW11590294\u003c\/strong\u003e is the current manufacturer-approved replacement for the following discontinued part number(s): \u003cstrong\u003eW11208965\u003c\/strong\u003e.
