GE WB2X9154 Round Style Oven or Broiler Igniter - AppliancePartsPros.com These aren't the same as the flat igniters. They put out different voltages than the flat ones do and are not interchangeable. Make sure the burner tube is sitting on top the gas valve correctly and make sure the igniter mounting isn't bent out too far.

Afterwards I turned the oven on 250 degrees and no popping noises. Later in the day I went to use the oven to cook dinner (setting it at 350 degrees) and when it first ignited it was a loud swoosh then I opened the door and saw flames. I did notice while working on the igniter that the part # on it was GR403. Is this a direct replacement for WB2X9154??
