Whirlpool Range Igniter - W10918546

Restore gas oven ignition with this genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Igniter - W10918546. The oven igniter draws current through the safety valve; when it is strong enough, the valve opens and the burner lights.

W10918546 is a genuine Whirlpool-manufactured gas range oven igniter used when the original part is worn, damaged, missing, leaking, noisy, or no longer performing correctly. The key to a correct order is matching the exact appliance model number and the original part design, not just the visible part name.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Oven will not ignite, igniter glows but burner does not light, delayed ignition, gas smell before ignition, or long preheat times.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Weak orange glow, cracked ceramic, damaged cage, brittle wires, or an igniter that glows for more than about 90 seconds without opening the valve.

Pro Tip: Handle the ceramic igniter carefully and avoid touching the carbide element. A weak igniter can glow and still fail to open the safety valve.
