GE Appliances WB13K21 Flat Style Gas Range Oven Igniter

The GE Appliances WB13K21 is a genuine OEM flat-style oven igniter designed as a replacement part for gas ranges experiencing problems due to a malfunctioning igniter. This igniter is responsible for lighting the gas within the appliance to create a consistent cooking flame by initiating the combustion process as gas flows into the oven burner.

Key Features:

• Body length of 3¾ inches
• Comes complete with mounting bracket and wire connector that plugs into the oven
• Operates using electrical resistance to generate heat when current flows through it
• Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances
• Dimensions: 3/4" H x 2¼" W x 14½" D

This part replaces AP2020569, 2494, AH231280, EA231280, PS231280, WB13K10009, WB13K10026, WB13K12, WB13K13, and WB13K14. Important installation note: The connector plug may need to be cut off and igniter wires connected to range wires using porcelain wire connectors.

Common symptoms indicating a faulty igniter include the oven not heating up at all, taking longer than normal to heat, or a gas smell in the oven due to gas being released without ignition.
