Robertshaw 41-202 Hot Surface Ignitor

The Robertshaw 41-202 Hot Surface Ignitor is a high-performance 501A type ignitor engineered for precision ignition in commercial and residential gas ranges and ovens. Designed to match Robertshaw bi-metal gas valves, this component features a 5-1/2 inch ceramic base and 16-3/4 inch lead wires, ensuring compatibility with major appliance brands like Frigidaire, Tappan, and Kenmore. This ignitor serves as a reliable direct replacement oven igniter for part numbers such as 5303935067 and IGN-2, utilizing high physical and thermal strength to withstand the rigorous cycling of modern cooking equipment. The 120V AC electrical rating (3.2–3.6 Amps) provides the consistent amperage draw required for stable flame rectification and silent, dependable ignition. For HVAC technicians and appliance contractors, the Norton hot surface ignitor design facilitates easy mounting with the included porcelain wire nuts, reducing downtime during critical service calls.

• Universal Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement for multiple OEM part numbers, including Frigidaire 316030700 and Amana 10220.
• Engineered Durability: Constructed with high-purity materials to ensure stable electrical properties and high thermal resistance under heavy use.
• Efficient Installation: Features 16-3/4 inch lead wires and includes porcelain nuts to simplify field wiring for various range and oven configurations.
• Optimized Performance: Specifically calibrated for 3.2 to 3.6 Amps to maintain accurate valve timing and reliable burner start-up.

Is the Robertshaw 41-202 compatible with my gas range?
This ignitor is widely compatible with gas ranges from Frigidaire, Tappan, Sears/Kenmore, and others that utilize a 501A type ignitor with a 5.5-inch base. Always verify the connector type and lead length (16.75 inches) before installation.

What causes this hot surface ignitor to fail?
Most failures result from ceramic cracking due to physical shock or filament burnout from high-frequency cycling. To maximize longevity, avoid touching the black ignitor element with bare hands, as skin oils can cause hot spots and premature failure.

Can I use this to replace a different series Robertshaw ignitor?
Compatibility is determined by the electrical rating (120V) and physical dimensions. While the 41-202 is a standard for many cooking applications, always cross-reference the Length A and amp draw to ensure safe operation with your specific gas valve.
