The requested OEM number is discontinued and has been replaced by W11721763. Is This the Right Part? Part NumberW10657995 ManufacturerWhirlpool Corporation Appliance TypeGas Cooktop Part TypeBurner Electrode / Surface Igniter Common Symptoms No visible spark at the affected burner Intermittent or delayed burner ignition Continued clicking after the burner is turned to ignite Burner fails to light while other surface burners operate normally Check Before Replacing With the cooktop cool and controls off, confirm the burner cap and base are correctly aligned and seated. Check that the electrode and surrounding burner area are completely dry after cleaning or a spill. Visually inspect the ceramic electrode for cracks, breakage, or obvious contamination; do not touch or test it while the ignition system is energized. Confirm the affected burner’s ports and ignition area are free of visible food residue or cleaning-product buildup, using only the cleaning method specified in the appliance manual. If the burner remains inoperative after safe cleaning, drying, and repositioning, discontinue use of that burner and refer the appliance to qualified service personnel. Pro Tip Before replacing the electrode, dry the burner area and reseat the cap and burner base; moisture or misalignment can prevent the spark from reaching the gas correctly.

Install the correct burner cap in its proper position; the cap should sit level and should not rock or wobble. Do not force or bend the ceramic electrode, since it can break during burner-base installation.
