GE Oven Burner & Pilot (WB16K10061)

The GE Oven Burner & Pilot is the main heating component inside a gas range or dual fuel oven, responsible for igniting the gas and producing the flame that heats the oven cavity. The burner distributes heat evenly across the oven floor while the integrated pilot helps initiate and maintain ignition each time the oven is called to heat.

The GE Oven Burner & Pilot can wear out over time due to clogged burner ports from grease or food debris, corrosion from moisture exposure, or a damaged pilot that no longer reliably ignites the gas. Repeated heating and cooling cycles can also cause the burner to crack or warp, leading to uneven flames or a failure to light at all.

These symptoms can help you decide if a burner or pilot issue matches your problem:

- Oven does not ignite or takes multiple attempts to light

- Weak, uneven, or yellow flame instead of a strong blue flame

- Oven runs cooler than the set temperature or heats unevenly

- Gas smell without a flame being established

- Burner flame goes out shortly after igniting

- Visible cracks, corrosion, or damage on the burner assembly

- Oven cycles on and off more frequently than normal during baking
