Burner won't light or has weak spark? This top burner igniter creates the spark to ignite gas. Easy DIY repair—remove burner cap and 2 screws to replace.

Medium top burner for gas cooktops that provides a mid-range 9,000 BTU flame, restoring even heat for everyday cooking. Ideal when the original burner is cracked, clogged, or not igniting reliably. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or worn medium burner to restore consistent, even heat across the cooking surface.
• Provides a mid-range flame output for simmering, boiling, and general-purpose cooking.
• Improves ignition and flame stability when the existing burner lights weakly, unevenly, or produces noisy flames.
• Helps correct issues caused by clogged ports, warped burner heads, or visible cracks.

• Turn off the gas supply and power to the range before starting any service.
• Remove grates and burner caps, lift the old burner straight up, and seat the replacement burner fully over the valve stem.
• Do not force the burner into place; ensure burner ports are clear and aligned before testing.
