Fix it, keep the range
A worn igniter is one of the most common reasons a gas oven stops heating. Replacing just this part brings the oven back without the cost and hassle of shopping for a whole new range.

When a gas oven takes forever to light or will not bake at all, a worn igniter is a common culprit. This ERP flat style igniter is built as a direct replacement for GE part WB2X9998 and cross-references a long list of GE, Whirlpool, Electrolux, Norton, and other part numbers. It has a 1 1/2 in ceramic block and 17 in lead wires with stripped ends, and ceramic wire nuts come in the package so you can connect it to your range wiring.
Key Features
- Flat style igniter: the flat bar design used on many gas oven burners.
- 17 in lead wires: long leads with stripped ends reach the range wiring.
- 1 1/2 in ceramic block: a compact mounting block that matches the flat style footprint.
- Ceramic wire nuts included: make the connection between the new leads and your range harness.
- Replaces GE WB2X9998: also lines up with Whirlpool 814269, Electrolux 5303935066, Norton 41-205, and Invensys IGN5.
- Long cross-reference list: more than 35 part numbers in all, listed in the specs below.
What's Included
In the box: one ERP flat style gas oven igniter with 17 in stripped lead wires and ceramic wire nuts.
Before You Buy
- Match your oven's part number before you order. Compare the number on your old igniter or in your range manual with the cross-reference list in the specs. If your number is missing from that list, choose a different part.
- Turn off the power and the gas first. Unplug the range or switch off its breaker, and close the gas supply valve before you remove the old igniter.
- Have a qualified technician install it if you are unsure. The repair involves gas and electrical connections. If you are not comfortable doing it, hire a pro.
- This item is final sale. Igniters cannot be returned, so confirm the fit and the flat style before you check out.
Perfect For
- Gas ovens where the igniter glows but the burner will not light
- GE gas ranges that call for part WB2X9998
- Whirlpool and Electrolux ranges with a matching cross-reference number
- Landlords and property managers fixing ranges in rentals
- Handy homeowners who know their part number
Care & Use
- Handle the igniter by its ceramic block and leads, and never touch or bump the heating element.
- Route the lead wires away from the burner and any sharp edges or pinch points.
- Restore gas and power only after everything is secured, then test the oven.
- If you smell gas after the repair, shut off the supply and call your gas utility.

One part, many numbers
Beyond GE WB2X9998, this igniter cross-references more than 35 part numbers from Whirlpool, Electrolux, Norton, Invensys, and other makers, which makes it easier to confirm a match for your oven.

Cross-reference part numbers
Why replace just the igniter?
vs. a new range
An igniter swap targets a common no-heat problem for a fraction of what a new range costs.
vs. waiting on a service call for parts
Having the right part on hand lets a technician finish the job in one visit.
vs. a round style igniter
Igniters come in flat and round styles. This one is flat, so check the shape of the part you are replacing.
Fits your oven
A flat igniter that mounts at the oven burner, with leads long enough to reach the wiring.
- Ceramic block
- 1 1/2 in
- Lead wires
- 17 in
- Compare your old igniter's block with the 1 1/2 in block before ordering.
- The 17 in leads give slack to route the wires clear of the burner.
