WPY0316773 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Spark Electrode

Product Description

The WPY0316773 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Spark Electrode is a high-quality ignition component designed to deliver reliable burner lighting performance for select Whirlpool gas ranges. Manufactured to the original specifications by Whirlpool, this spark electrode ensures your cooktop ignites quickly, consistently, and safely every time you use it. Available through Appliance Kingdom, this OEM replacement part is the ideal solution when one or more burners fail to ignite or produce intermittent sparks.

Function & Importance

The spark electrode is responsible for generating the electrical spark that ignites the gas at the surface burner. Positioned near the burner head, the WPY0316773 electrode receives an electrical charge from the ignition module, creating a controlled spark strong enough to ignite gas and start the burner flame.

A worn, cracked, or carbon-coated electrode will struggle to deliver the necessary spark, leading to unreliable ignition, delayed lighting, or complete failure of the burner to ignite. Replacing the faulty component with this genuine OEM part restores dependable ignition and safe burner functionality.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement

You may need to replace your gas range spark electrode if you notice:

• Burner will not ignite but you can hear clicking

• Burner takes multiple attempts to light

• Weak or inconsistent spark at the electrode tip

• Visible damage such as cracks, burned tips, or corrosion

• Burner lights only when igniting manually

• Excessive clicking that does not result in ignition

These issues indicate that the spark electrode is not delivering proper ignition and should be replaced promptly.
