ERP 316011200 Range Top Burner Spark Igniter Electrode
The 316011200 is an aftermarket replacement gas range surface burner spark igniter electrode compatible with select Frigidaire, Tappan, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, White-Westinghouse, Kenmore, and Danby gas ranges and cooktops. The spark igniter electrode is the ceramic-and-metal tip mounted next to each surface burner that generates the electrical spark needed to ignite the gas when a burner knob is turned. When the electrode cracks, corrodes, or its internal wiring degrades, it will produce a weak or absent spark — causing the burner to not light, to require a long hold of the ignition button, or to click repeatedly without igniting.
Made from porcelain and metal, each electrode measures 3/4"L x 1/2"W x 1-3/8"H and is sold individually. One electrode is used per surface burner — most gas ranges have 4 or 6 surface burners, each with its own electrode. It directly replaces AP2123862, 5303311262, 464, AH436633, EA436633, EAP436633, PS436633, LP11343, and PD00000522. Installs in 15–30 minutes depending on model disassembly required. Note: While this part is involved in a gas appliance, the electrode itself is not a gas component — it carries only a low-voltage electrical signal from the ignition module. Always unplug the range and shut off the gas before beginning any repair.
Quick Answer
The 316011200 Range Top Burner Spark Igniter Electrode fixes Frigidaire-platform gas ranges where a surface burner won't light, requires a long hold to ignite, sparks continuously without lighting, or produces a weak clicking sound. Porcelain/metal, 3/4"L x 1/2"W x 1-3/8"H. Sold individually — one per burner. Compatible with Frigidaire, Tappan, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, White-Westinghouse, Kenmore, and Danby gas ranges. Replaces AP2123862, 5303311262, 464, EA436633, PS436633, LP11343.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Surface burner will not light — electrode not producing a spark
- Burner requires holding the ignition knob for an extended time before the gas lights
- Burner sparks repeatedly (rapid clicking) without ever lighting the gas
- One burner does not spark while all others work normally — that burner's electrode has failed
- Weak or intermittent spark at a specific burner
- Electrode visibly cracked, chipped, or tip broken off
- Corrosion or moisture damage to the electrode tip or wiring from a cooking spill

Compatibility
This spark igniter electrode is compatible with select gas ranges and cooktops from the following brands:
- Frigidaire gas ranges and cooktops
- Tappan gas ranges and cooktops
- Electrolux gas ranges (select models)
- Gibson gas ranges
- Kelvinator gas ranges
- White-Westinghouse gas ranges
- Kenmore / Sears gas ranges (Frigidaire/Electrolux-built models)
- Danby gas ranges (select models)
Note: This electrode is sold individually — one electrode per burner. Most gas ranges have 4 or 6 surface burners, each with its own electrode. If multiple burners are not lighting, you may need to order multiple electrodes. Always verify your model number before ordering to confirm this electrode fits the specific burner assembly on your range.
Key Features
- Generates the electrical spark that ignites the gas at each surface burner when the ignition knob is turned
- Porcelain insulator body with metal electrode tip — designed to withstand continuous thermal cycling near the burner flame
- Dimensions: 3/4"L x 1/2"W x 1-3/8"H — matches original electrode dimensions for compatible Frigidaire-platform models
- Sold individually — one electrode per surface burner; order one per failed burner
- Replaces AP2123862, 5303311262, 464, EA436633, PS436633, LP11343, and EAP436633

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the spark igniter electrode do?
The spark igniter electrode is the small ceramic-and-metal tip mounted next to each surface burner on a gas range. When you turn a burner knob to the "light" or "ignite" position, the ignition module sends a high-voltage electrical pulse through the wire to the electrode tip. This creates a visible electrical spark that jumps between the electrode tip and the metal burner cap, igniting the gas. The electrode itself carries only a brief electrical pulse — it does not directly handle gas — but it must be in good condition with an intact porcelain body and clean metal tip to produce a reliable, consistent spark.
One burner won't light but all the others work — is it the electrode?
Almost certainly yes. When all other burners spark normally but one does not, the fault is almost always isolated to that burner's electrode or its connecting wire — not the ignition module (which powers all burners) or the gas supply (which feeds all burners). Inspect the electrode on the non-lighting burner: look for cracks, chips, or a broken tip on the porcelain body. Also check the connecting wire for corrosion at the connection point or damage to the insulation. Replacing the 316011200 electrode on that burner will restore normal ignition in most cases.
My burner clicks continuously even when not trying to ignite — what causes this?
Continuous clicking when no burner is being lit is typically caused by moisture or food residue on the electrode tip or in the burner cap area creating an unintended electrical path — the ignition module detects a spark condition and keeps firing. Clean the electrode tip, burner cap, and burner head thoroughly with a dry cloth or soft toothbrush, and allow them to dry completely. If cleaning stops the clicking, a cracked or degraded electrode that is allowing moisture to reach the internal wiring is the likely underlying cause — replace the electrode to prevent recurrence. If the clicking persists after the burner area is completely clean and dry, the ignition module may be faulty.
How many electrodes does my gas range need?
Each surface burner on a gas range has its own dedicated spark igniter electrode — one electrode per burner. A standard 4-burner gas range uses 4 electrodes; a 5- or 6-burner range uses 5 or 6. This listing is for a single electrode. If multiple burners are not lighting, order one electrode for each affected burner. When replacing one electrode, it is a good opportunity to inspect all other electrodes for cracks or corrosion and replace any that show visible wear at the same time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire OEM part, but is manufactured from porcelain and metal to match the dimensions and performance of the original 316011200 surface burner spark igniter electrode.
