Middleby Marshall 27161-0005 Oven Ignition Module W/ 1/4" Spark Tab

The gas cooking appliance ignition module is used to provide controlled spark production and ignition timing for burners during startup. Operating on a 24 VAC power supply, it delivers controlled ignition sparks through a 1/4" spark tab to ignite the burner during each heating cycle. The ignition timing process includes a 0-second pre-purge and a 90-second ignition cycle, helping support proper startup control in compatible cooking equipment. It is mainly used in fryers and ovens in commercial kitchens that require electronic ignition controls. This module is commonly installed in high-use kitchen equipment where reliable burner ignition is necessary during cooking operations. If the ignition module fails to produce sparks, replacing it can help restore normal appliance heating operation.
