Whirlpool Gas Range Spark Igniter Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your Whirlpool gas range won't light or you hear clicking without ignition, the spark igniter is usually the culprit. This hub covers WP9758079 spark igniter replacement for Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore gas ranges — a part that fits over 50 models across multiple product lines.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Before ordering, locate your model number on the frame inside the oven door or on the back panel of your range. Cross-reference it with the compatibility list below. This igniter fits WFG, WEG, and several other Whirlpool series manufactured from approximately 2008-2020.

About This Replacement Igniter

The WP9758079 is a genuine OEM spark igniter that generates the electrical spark needed to light your range's gas burners. Unlike glow-bar igniters used in ovens, spark igniters create a visible spark at the burner head. When they fail, you'll typically hear rapid clicking but see no flame, or one burner may refuse to light while others work fine. This igniter replaces part numbers AP6013984, PS11747217, 9758079, and WP9758079VP — all functionally identical.

Compatible Model Series

This igniter works across several Whirlpool brand families:

• WFG Series: WFG515, WFG510, WFG550, WFG525, WFG530, WFG374, WFG371, WFG361
• WEG Series: WEG515
• Cross-Brand: Also compatible with select Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore gas range models using the same ignition system

Installation Overview

Replacing a spark igniter typically requires removing the burner grate and cap, disconnecting the wire harness, and securing the new igniter with a mounting bracket. The job takes 15-30 minutes and requires only basic hand tools. Always disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before starting any repair.

Common Questions

Why does my burner keep clicking? A worn igniter may continue sparking even after the burner lights, or fail to produce enough spark to ignite the gas. Replacement usually solves persistent clicking.

Can I use this for all burners? Check your model's parts diagram — some ranges use different igniters for different burner positions.

Do I need to replace all igniters at once? No, but if one has failed after years of use, others may follow soon. Consider your range's age when deciding.
