How Igniters Work
Igniters are designed to heat up and ignite the gas used in stoves, dryers, or furnaces. They are made from sensitive materials like silicon carbide or silicon nitride, making them highly effective but also fragile. Mishandling, including touching them with bare fingers, can lead to issues such as:
- Uneven heating due to oil contamination from skin.
- Premature failure from scratches or cracks.
- Inefficient operation or complete appliance malfunction.

There are hundreds of igniters designed for specific models and brands. Using the wrong igniter can result in poor performance or even damage to your appliance. At Midwest Appliance Parts, we stock igniters for a wide range of brands and models, ensuring you find the perfect fit.
