XPARTCO W11176454 Gas Range Oven Igniter
XPARTCO W11176454 Gas Range Oven Igniter
The XPARTCO W11176454 is an aftermarket replacement oven burner igniter compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana gas ranges. The igniter is a hot surface igniter made from silicon carbide 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 the igniter will glow without lighting the burner.
This igniter draws 3.3–3.6 amps at 120V AC and reaches operating temperatures of 1,800°F–3,100°F with a heating time of approximately 17 seconds. The igniter body measures 3-7/10 inches (Length A) with 9-1/2 inch leads and two separate connectors. It directly replaces OEM part numbers W11176454 and W10914411, and is compatible with Whirlpool WFG and WFG505 series, Amana AGR and AGG series, and select Maytag gas range models. Installs in 10–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between W11176454 and W10914411?
The W11176454 is the updated part number that directly supersedes the older W10914411. Both are the same hot surface igniter for compatible Whirlpool, Amana, and Maytag gas ranges. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with both part numbers.
How do I know if my oven igniter needs to be replaced?
The most common signs are the oven not heating at all, taking much longer than usual to preheat, or the igniter glowing orange but never lighting the burner. A working igniter reaches ignition temperature within about 30–90 seconds and glows bright orange. If it glows dimly or stays on indefinitely without the burner lighting, the igniter has weakened and is no longer drawing enough current to open the gas safety valve.
Why does my igniter glow but the oven still won't heat?
This is the classic symptom of a weak igniter. The gas safety valve requires a minimum amperage draw — typically around 3.2 amps — to open and allow gas to flow to the burner. As the igniter ages, its resistance increases and amperage drops below this threshold. The igniter still glows because it has some current, but not enough to open the valve. Replacing the igniter resolves this in nearly all cases.
Is the W11176454 compatible with my Amana or Maytag range?
Yes — the W11176454 is compatible with select Amana AGR and AGG series gas ranges and select Maytag AGR series models in addition to Whirlpool WFG320 and WFG505 series ranges. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm 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 Whirlpool OEM part, but is made from silicon carbide to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original W11176454 igniter.
