Whirlpool Broil Burner DSI Electrode (WPW10333842)

The Whirlpool Broil Burner DSI Electrode generates the spark that ignites the broil burner in your gas range, allowing the oven to reach the high temperatures needed for broiling food. It works as part of the direct spark ignition system, producing a rapid electrical spark at the burner tip each time the broil function is activated. The Whirlpool Broil Burner DSI Electrode can wear out over time from repeated heat exposure, grease buildup on the tip, or physical damage to the ceramic insulator or electrode body. Cracking, carbon deposits, or corrosion can all prevent the electrode from producing a reliable spark, leaving the broil burner unable to light. These symptoms can help you decide if a faulty broil electrode matches your problem: - Broil burner will not ignite when the broil function is selected - Clicking sound continues after the broil burner should be lit - No spark visible at the broil burner electrode tip - Broil burner ignites inconsistently or takes multiple attempts to light - Visible cracks, chips, or heavy discoloration on the electrode ceramic - Broil function works intermittently depending on oven temperature or humidity
