AGS780E (P1141252N E) Amana Range - Instructions

I am writing this post to hopefully save someone else the frustration and confusion I experienced when I ordered a replacement ignition module for an Amana gas cooktop AKGD3060WW. Over time, three of the four burner would not light. I ordered a replacement spark module from PartSelect and to my surprise it arrived the next day.

The installation instructions were very confusing. I read the instructions posted by prior customers about this part and none of them helped or seemed to apply to the same cooktop. With the use of the exploded view on PartSelect website I was able to figure out where the module was located.

I turned off the gas and unplugged the unit.

I had to go under the cabinet and securely prop up the cooktop cavity box from below as I had to take off the whole cover, which was actually holding, or mounting, the unit to the counter top.

I removed the cooking units then, the control knobs and the glass control plate, and the vent filter and vent cover. After removing about 20 screws from the main frame/cover I located the spark module at the rear of the unit, sandwiched between two pieces of sheet metal and obstructed by numerous wires. I recorded the wire connections then unplugged the module. It was difficult to remove module due to the numerous unrelated wires that were routed through that area.

I connected the wires to the new module (NOTE: The replacement module has no terminal identification.), plugged the cooktop into the power and tested it and noted that all four burners now received a strong spark.

The original unit is smaller than the replacement unit and the supplied bracket does not fit this cooktop. I had to force the module into position. I removed the two small tabs and applied double sided tape applied to the bottom then secured it against the original mounting bracket. I then adjusted the wires back into the recess with the module and reassembled the cooktop.

The cooktop now lights all four burners instantly, for the first time in several years.

Ordered hinge, went to Sears bought some tools to finish manufacturing the hinge, tapped out the screw hole, installed the hinge.

Used grinder to cut the screws. All 4 screws had to be cut to remove from burner assembly. Once this was acomplised it went fast with no problems

bought used, oven light was damaged from previous repair attempt, without installation instructions removing the fixture was tricky, had to bend the housing tabs inward w/screwdriver to release fixture (more damage). once out the new fixture went in place quite easily, wires simply hook up, re install back panel, re-connect power, Have a nice Day!

Removed the oven doors for access; removed the burner onto which the ignitor is attached, disconnected the electrical wires (power off). Reversed the procedure to put it back together. We are now cooking with gas again. Thanks. Fletcher

Take top cover off take gear box cover off. check all gears for wear and clean all of above. Be sure you identify all parts needed before you order plus assembly grease!

I used the instructions that were online at the PartSelect website. Perfect instructions. It took longer to clean the unit than installing the new paart.The instructions that came with the part were not that useful.Thanks to PartSelect, my wife is now happy.

Discriptions provided by others in this section made it easy and there is little additional insight I can add. The part was delivered the next day. I don't reply to these requests for comments, as providing what I paid for is the expectation. But, this outfit did a good job.

I was able to order the part I needed. The faulty pad had a broken stem.Several pads came in a bag so if I have the problem again I will have the parts on hand. I bought some RTV glue suitable for items at high temperatures; used a probe to make sure the hole in the grate was clear and clean and glued the new pad in place.

removed one screw lifted he brner took retainer off unpluged the igniter it had broken porcelen reversed the procedure everything worked fine

Very simple, cleaned out what was remaining of the old rubber feet and just pushed these in. I didn't bother glueing them in as I didn't feel they would fall out. If they do, I'll go out and obtain the glue that is mentioned by others in this thread. Very satisfied.

The first igniter was received broken. A replacement was received within 5 days. It was very easy to install once the protective cover was placed over the igniter end. In my opinion, this part should be sold with the protective cover already in place.

Removed old igniter and replaced with new one.Tested oven and it went on. You need a phillips screwdriver to remove two screws and a small socket for the third screw to remove the igniter cage. Then pull out the wires from under the oven and disconnect. Reverse procedure to install new igniter. Reuse original connectors. Be very careful with the igniter because the tip is very fragile and can break easily.

Using a meter, we determined each of the four igniters had continuity from end to end and also had continuity from the end of each igniter back to the spark module. At that point we decided the module was probably bad and, after reviewing some similar-sounding problems on this website, I ordered the module. Installation was simple and solved the problem. All four burners now ignite as they should. One caution - the installation instructions that came with the new module did not describe anything like my stove.

I took a jewelers screwdriver and completely cleaned out what was left of the old pads. Then applied a small amount of heat resistant rtv sealant to each hole, slid in the new pads and wiped off the excess. I let everything set overnight. The next day everything was solid. Job was complete. Note I've done this before and did not get the results I did this time. I believe it was the instruction that came with the pads and the tip-off to use the rtv.
