This part creates the spark that lights the gas and starts the burners.
When the gas burner valve knob is depressed and turned, this part creates a spark that lights the gas and starts the burner.
The stove is over 20 years old, it was bound to happen. Because PartSelect.com has pictures of the part from three different views & detailed measurements, I was more confident that this part would be what I would need. When the part arrived in just 2-3 days, I opened the package, and slipped it into the socket... DONE ....Easy!!
Took amp reading, which was 2.5 amps, that identified that the igniter needed to be replaced, for the safety valve requires 3.2 amps or better. Replaced, and everything is okay.
Opened the package. Took out the knob. Put knob on spindle. The neat thing is it's an EXACT match! No bushings or adapters needed. No color difference; all the markings are identical. YAY!! I will be back, as all my appliances are aging sharply!
