Robertshaw 41-590 Ignitor
The Robertshaw 41-590 Silicone Carbide Ignitor is a high-performance hot surface igniter designed for specialized 120V AC gas-fired applications. Engineered as a 41-590 direct replacement for 101, this unit features a flat tip style optimized for rapid heat-up and reliable ignition in residential and commercial environments. The core is constructed from high-purity, non-porous silicone carbide, providing the thermal conductivity and structural integrity required for gas dryer ignition and furnace cycles. This Norton series ignitor includes a factory-installed ceramic holder and 5-inch lead wires with a plug-in connection for straightforward field installation. With a 2-inch probe length and a maximum lead wire insulation temperature of 392°F, it ensures stable electrical properties and consistent resistance during the 17-second ignition window, making it a critical Robertshaw HVAC replacement part for Frigidaire, Maytag, Whirlpool, and GE appliances.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Serves as a 120V 41-590 igniter replacement for numerous OEM part numbers, including 279311, 304970, and 686590.
- Enhanced Thermal Strength: Crafted from silicone carbide to withstand thermal shock and repeated cycling without physical degradation.
- Secure Electrical Connection: Features plug-in leads and specialized high-temperature fiberglass insulation to protect the 18-gauge nickel chrome lead wires.
- Technical Precision: Designed for an exact 5-inch ignitor length to verify clearance and proper alignment within the burner assembly.
Is the Robertshaw 41-590 compatible with my gas dryer?
Yes, the Robertshaw 41-590 dryer ignitor is the primary replacement for most major brands, including Kenmore, Maytag, and Whirlpool. Always verify the igniter cross-reference against your specific model number.
What is the difference between silicone carbide and silicone nitride ignitors?
The 41-590 silicone carbide ignitor is the traditional high-surface-area heating element. While nitride ignitors are often used in newer systems for increased impact resistance, the 41-590 is the standard professional choice for systems designed for carbide resistance and 120V power profiles.
How do I test if my 41-590 ignitor is faulty?
A veteran tech will check for igniter resistance using a multimeter. If the ignitor does not glow or shows an "open" circuit reading, it typically indicates a crack in the heating element that necessitates a replacement gas ignitor.
