Cooker Electrical Part. Cannot Find It

[leeroy337]

Hi All, I've posted this in the Electricals forums as well as Im not quite sure where this type of part would belong to.

I am wondering if you can help me identify the following electrical part for my cooker. I have tried 5 different spare companies over 2 weeks but nobody has a clue and I'm a little stuck now.

It is a part for my Whirlpool AKM216/IX Gas Hob (SN 857121615000) and connects the ignition switch to two wires underneath the Hob to create what I presume is the spark.

It looks like a simple connection terminal but after looking at the Whirlpool technical schematics, they only identify the ignition switch, (which I have ordered before and this part doesn't ship with the switch) and the spark generator, which is £40-£50 and doesn't match the part.

I am hoping somebody has a clue what this piece could be. Its about the size of a 10p piece if that helps. Thought Id try this forum first but please advise if you think it belongs elsewhere.

Many Thanks

Lee

If it's only a connecting plug, could you not adapt the two wires to fit onto the switch, using crimp on spade terminals (either male or female)?

Thanks Wotan thats a very good idea, didn't realise I could simply do that.

Looking at spade connectors, there seems to be Red, blue and yellow of varying mm. Will it matter significantly which type i get?

Thanks

For cooker cabling use the smallest 'usually red' and ensure they are crimped tight 'best to use a ratchet crimper'

Thanks for the added info. So the following two products would be what I need then?

Not the Bootlace Crimper. You need the Heavy Duty Ratchet Crimper - (suit R, B, Y)

"R" is for Red. Practice first.
