85806091004034 Genuine Ignition Toggle Switch White for Westinghouse Gas Cooktops WLG505WANG WLG517WANG WFG617WALP WDG103WANG-L WLG505WBLP

Part 85806091004034 is a genuine white toggle switch used on Westinghouse gas appliances for push ignition and on/off control. Electrolux also lists it as 0609100403. It is on file for the WLG505 and WLG517 families, three WFG617 versions and the WDG103 models in left and right hand form, covering both natural gas and LPG variants.

Gas cooktop igniter not sparking

On these Westinghouse models, the toggle switch sends power to the spark ignition so the burners light when you press it, and it also gives an on/off function. A worn or broken switch can leave you with no spark at all, a spark that only works if you jiggle the toggle, ignition that keeps clicking after you let go, or a lever that has snapped off. Moisture and grease getting into the switch can cause the same faults, so think back to whether a spill happened before the problem started.

Safety when replacing an ignition switch

Turn the appliance off at the power point or isolator and close the gas supply before you begin. Because this is a gas appliance, Australian rules call for the work to be done by a licensed gas fitter, who can also check the burners and ignition leads while the panel is off. Photograph the wiring on the old switch so each terminal goes back to the right place.

Questions about this part

Does this switch suit both natural gas and LPG models?

Yes. The fit list includes both NG and LP versions, such as WLG505WANG and WLG505WALP. The switch handles the electrical side of ignition, so the gas type does not change the part.
