573688 Genuine Ignition Electrode 900mm for Fisher & Paykel Gas Cooktops and Cookers, F&P Burner Spark Electrode

573688 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel ignition electrode listed at 900mm, used to light a gas burner on F&P cooking appliances. Electrodes are matched by length and tip style, so it helps to measure the old one, lead included, and compare the shape at the burner end. Our records don't say which appliance or burner it fits. Check your parts diagram for 573688, or send us your model and serial number.

No spark at a gas burner

An ignition electrode is a metal pin set in a ceramic insulator, with a lead running back to the spark generator. Each time the ignition fires, a spark jumps from its tip to the burner and lights the gas. Over time the ceramic can crack, the tip can burn away or get buried in grease, and the lead can fray or melt. Symptoms include no spark at one burner, sparking under the cooktop instead of at the burner, or a tick with no flame. Weak sparks across every burner point more to the ignition box.

Fitting the electrode safely

Have a licensed gas fitter carry out this repair. Turn off the gas supply and isolate the power before removing burners or panels. Run the new lead along the original path, using any clips or grommets, so it can't touch hot metal. Set the tip at the same gap from the burner as the old one, then test that the burner lights first time.
