It's an aftermarket part and isn't tied to one appliance brand. Our record doesn't list dimensions, terminal type or whether it's a piezo or switch style button, so compare it closely with the button you're replacing, or send your appliance details through the parts enquiry form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen a gas ignition button stops sparking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePressing an ignition button either strikes a piezo crystal or closes a switch that tells a spark generator to fire, and the result is a spark at the electrode beside the burner. Buttons wear out from constant use, from grease and moisture getting inside, or from a cracked housing. A sticky button, one that clicks without producing a spark, one that sparks only sometimes, or a cap that has broken off are all common faults. Before blaming the button, check that the electrode is clean and dry, the gap is right and the lead is intact, as these cause the same symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric part 001842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIgnition push button for gas appliance ignition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAftermarket universal style part, not brand specific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare size, mounting and terminals with your old button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a replacement ignition button\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn off the gas at the appliance valve or cylinder, and isolate the power if the appliance has a mains powered spark generator.
