WP71002179 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Spark Electrode

Product Description

The WP71002179 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Spark Electrode is a high-quality replacement part designed to restore reliable burner ignition for select gas cooktops and ranges manufactured by Whirlpool and its associated brands. Built to meet original manufacturer specifications, this OEM spark electrode ensures consistent ignition performance, improved burner reliability, and long-term durability. If your range burners fail to ignite, click repeatedly, or require manual lighting, replacing the spark electrode is often the most effective solution.

Designed to generate the spark needed to ignite the gas burner, the spark electrode plays a critical role in safe and efficient cooktop operation. This component produces the electrical arc that lights the burner flame. Over time, electrodes can wear out due to heat exposure, residue buildup, or normal usage. When this happens, the burner may struggle to ignite, leading to inconsistent performance or complete ignition failure.

Installing the WP71002179 electrode helps restore proper ignition and ensures that your Whirlpool range continues to operate safely and efficiently. For best results, always confirm the part’s compatibility using your appliance model number before ordering.
