March Maddness: A Champion Is Crowned

    A New Champion is Crowned

            AR403 Oven Igniter               Control Board

       The AR403 Oven Igniter wins the McCombs Supply Appliance Parts Tourney

For the AR403 Oven Igniter, the second time is the charm.

In total sales in the past week, the top-seeded AR403 edged No. 9 Seed 439102 Ice Maker Emitter Sensor Control Board, the Cinderella story of the McCombs Supply Co., Inc. Appliance Parts Tournament.

This oven igniter was hot - literally and figuratively - down the stretch in the McCombs Supply Co., Inc. Appliance Parts Tournament, a "Sweet 16" of some of the top-selling parts in the McCombs' vast inventory.

Exact sales numbers were not used and a great deal of creative licence was used in writing a series of stories on this appliance parts tourney. Here are other stories in the series. Final Four and Sweet 16.

Much like the North Carolina Men's basketball team that lost last year in the final, the AR403 came up short in last year's championship. And much like UNC, the AR403 got redemption this year (yes, an oven igniter can have redemption).

The AR403 was making its record-setting 20th appearance in the Final Four. 

One factor that helped to propel this oven igniter over the top was speculation that the price of the igniter was increasing 10 percent, effective April. Customers quickly took advantage of the lower price of $17.95 before the increase went into effect. The new price is $19.75.
