WS01F01201 GE Range Oven Ignitor Glow Bar – Reliable Gas Ignition & Fast Heating

The WS01F01201 is a genuine OEM flat-style glow bar igniter for GE and affiliated brand gas ranges and wall ovens. This igniter is a critical component that ignites the gas to light the oven burner and enable proper oven heating.

✓ Key Features & Design

• Constructed from high-quality silicon carbide ceramic material with a flat rectangular heating element (approximately 4-5 inches long with a 1.75-inch ceramic base)
• Operates at 3.5 to 4.0 amps and works with gas safety valves rated for 3.5 to 4.0 amps
• Includes two wire leads with ceramic wire nuts for electrical connection and mounting hardware for secure installation
• Heats to approximately 2500°F (1371°C) and glows white-hot to ignite gas flowing from the burner
• Average service life of 1.5-2 years with proper use

✓ Performance & Benefits

This ignitor serves two critical functions: it heats up to ignite the gas when the oven is turned on, and it acts as a safety sensor that must draw sufficient current (3.5-4.0 amps) to open the gas safety valve and allow gas flow to the burner. When the igniter reaches operating temperature, it glows white-hot and ignites the gas, creating a flame for oven heating. The igniter continues to glow during oven operation to maintain the gas valve in the open position.

✓ Common Failure Symptoms

When the igniter fails, you may experience: oven not heating (igniter glows but gas doesn't ignite), igniter glowing weakly or not at all, igniter taking longer than 90 seconds to ignite gas, oven heating slowly or not reaching set temperature, gas valve not opening, intermittent oven heating, or clicking sound without gas ignition.
