WP31940001 Whirlpool Ignitor
The Range Bake Igniter glows white-hot to heat properly, and lives behind the access panel at the rear of your oven. If the igniter in your oven is glowing red or orange, or not glowing at all, it may be weak and needs to be replaced. The new igniter may not have connections attached to its wire ends, so you'll have to cut the connections off of the old igniter, strip the wires, and use the included wire nuts with the new igniter. Installing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the oven and novice repair experience. You should unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also be sure to turn the gas valve off before installing this part.
