XPARTCO DG94-00520A Oven Igniter
XPARTCO DG94-00520A Oven Igniter
The XPARTCO DG94-00520A is an aftermarket replacement oven burner igniter compatible with select Samsung gas ranges and ovens. The igniter is a hot surface igniter that draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to open it, then heats to ignition temperature to light the gas burner. When the igniter weakens or fails, the oven will not heat, will take too long to preheat, or will emit a gas smell without lighting.
This complete assembly includes the igniter with bracket and lead/plug. It features 8-inch leads with female pins, draws 3.4–3.6 amps, and can be used as either a bake or broil igniter depending on the model. The bracket measures 3-3/4" L x 1-3/4" W x 13/16" H and the harness and plug extend 7-7/8" from the igniter body. Verify that the electrical plug matches your existing igniter before ordering. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my oven igniter is bad?
The most common signs are the oven not heating at all, taking much longer than usual to preheat, or the igniter glowing orange or red but never lighting the burner. A healthy igniter glows bright orange and ignites the gas within 30–90 seconds. If it glows dimly or stays on without lighting the burner, it is drawing insufficient current to open the gas safety valve and needs to be replaced.
Why does my oven igniter glow but the oven still doesn't heat?
A glowing igniter that never lights the burner is the classic sign of a weak igniter. The igniter must draw enough current — typically 3.2 amps or more — to open the gas safety valve. As igniters age, their resistance increases and amperage draw drops below the threshold needed to open the valve. The igniter glows because it still has some current, but not enough to let gas through.
Does my Samsung oven use one igniter or two?
Many Samsung gas ranges have two igniters — one for the bake burner (bottom of oven) and one for the broil burner (top of oven). The DG94-00520A can serve as either depending on the model. Check which position is failing before ordering, and verify that the plug type on this igniter matches your existing part.
Do I need to verify the plug type before ordering?
Yes — this is important. Some Samsung models use a plug that is a direct match for this igniter, while others may require cutting the old plug and using wire nuts or crimp connectors. Inspect the connector on your existing igniter and compare it to the 8" female pin connector included with this part before ordering. Contact our support team if you need help confirming compatibility.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from metal, ceramic, and plastic to match the dimensions and electrical specifications of the original DG94-00520A igniter.
