Ignition failure is the single most common service call on a gas stove, which makes ignition parts a high-volume, repeat-purchase category for parts distributors. But not all ignition systems are the same. Understanding the difference between the two main types helps you stock the right parts for your market.
Modern gas stoves use a spark electrode — a ceramic-insulated probe that fires a high-voltage spark to light the burner, usually triggered by a battery or mains-powered igniter module. The electrode is exposed to heat and grease, so the ceramic insulation cracks and the tip erodes over time, causing weak or missing sparks. Replacement electrodes and igniter modules are steady sellers in every repair channel.
Piezo igniters generate a spark mechanically — pressing the control knob strikes a crystal to produce a voltage pulse, needing no battery or power supply. They are common on budget and portable stoves. While simple and reliable, the piezo mechanism wears with repeated pressing and eventually stops sparking, requiring replacement.
