GE Range Gas Igniter (WB13T10045)

The GE Range Gas Igniter is the component responsible for lighting the burner on your gas range or dual fuel appliance. When you turn a burner knob, the igniter receives an electrical signal and produces a spark that ignites the gas flowing to the burner. Without a functioning igniter, the burner will not light and the range cannot be used safely or effectively.

The GE Range Gas Igniter can fail from grease and food debris buildup that blocks or weakens the spark, moisture exposure from boilovers or cleaning, or simple wear from years of repeated use. A cracked or worn igniter tip, corroded wiring, or a damaged ceramic base can all prevent the igniter from producing a reliable spark.

Watch for these symptoms to determine if your igniter may need to be replaced:

- Burner clicks continuously but will not light

- No clicking sound at all when the burner knob is turned

- Burner takes much longer than usual to ignite

- Igniter sparks on its own without the knob being turned

- Burner lights unevenly or with a weak, inconsistent flame

- Visible cracks, chips, or discoloration on the igniter tip

- Clicking continues after the burner is already lit
