LG 30355ST Gas Oven - Bake Ignitor Cross Reference

[YW84U]

I have an LG LRG30355ST gas range from circa 2008, and it appears that the bake ignitor has failed. I still have to pull it out later and check continuity, but its a no-glo from visual inspection   The broil ignitor works fine, and I have gas supply and electricity elsewhere as expected. The main trouble is, that I'm in Canada and sales of LG parts to us is forbidden...even web suppliers I used in the past will no longer send LG parts up north. For giggles, I called LG Canada's flat-rate service, and they could not give a rate but advised part is about $200, plus double that for labor....

Here's my question - from what I know so far, the LG ignitor is likely a rebranded version of a flat bar Norton style possibly a 501a or similar, which seem to retail for about $25. Is there any way for me to ensure that any reasonable replacement I locate will cross-reference back to the LG OEM version? Are there any safety risks associated by using a Supco/generic version versus OEM branded ignitor?

Your assistance in this regard is greatly appreciated

Cheers!

The Maytag 12400035 or GE WB2X9998 igniter can be used.

Use the original LG igniter mounting bracket.

Good Morning John,

Thank You so much for the help! I had a suspicion that it was just a more common item merely rebranded as LG OEM. I'll order one of those alternates up and see how I fare, and will report back.

Cheers, and have a great week!

Just as a follow up, I was able to source out the suggested GE version for $32 plus shipping and it was an exact OEM match. Our oven is back in working order in under 5 minutes - John, Thank You so very much for your help!

Cheers
