GE Range Gas Ignitor (WB13X27058)

The GE Range Gas Ignitor is the part responsible for creating the spark that lights the gas burners on your range. When you turn a burner knob, the ignitor receives an electrical signal and produces a rapid clicking spark at the burner head, mixing with the gas flow to ignite the flame reliably each time.

GE range gas ignitors can fail from grease and food spills that build up around the ignitor tip, moisture exposure, or normal wear over time that weakens the spark. A damaged or worn ignitor may no longer generate a strong enough spark to light the burner, leaving you with a clicking sound but no flame, or no response at all when you turn the knob.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if the ignitor is the cause of your range problem:

- Burner clicks repeatedly but does not light

- Burner takes much longer than usual to ignite

- No clicking sound or spark when the burner knob is turned

- Burner lights unevenly or with a weak, low flame

- Ignitor continues clicking after the burner is already lit

- Visible cracks, chips, or residue buildup on the ignitor tip

- One burner fails to ignite while others on the range work normally
