4055587440 Genuine Igniter Wiring Harness for Westinghouse Freestanding Gas Cookers WLG510WCLP, Spark Ignition Loom

Genuine Westinghouse part 4055587440 is the wiring harness for the ignition system on the WLG510WCLP freestanding gas cooker. It carries the ignition circuit from the spark generator through the cooker, so a melted, chafed or broken lead in this loom can stop the burners lighting. Check the model plate on your cooker matches WLG510WCLP. If it reads differently, send the model number through and we will confirm the right harness.

Westinghouse gas cooker won't spark? Check the ignition harness

Push the ignition and you should hear a steady click at the burner, with a spark at each electrode. That spark relies on unbroken wiring from the spark generator. Ignition leads run close to burners and hot oven panels, so over time the insulation can crack, melt or rub through on sheet metal. The symptoms are clicking with no spark, a spark jumping to the frame instead of the burner, or the safety switch tripping when you press ignition. A faulty generator or a cracked spark plug can give similar signs, so test those as well.

Before you fit the harness

Switch the cooker off at the wall and unplug it before removing any panels, and turn off the gas as well.

Work inside a gas cooker is best left to a licensed gas fitter or qualified appliance technician.
