PGS968SER2SS General Electric Range - Instructions

Researched problem came to conclusion that igniter was not staying hot (seemed to intermittently go on and off ). One connector and two screws problem solved and the cherry pies are back in my oven and ready for dessert! : )

This job is done from the inside of the oven. Remove the drawer on the bottom. Open the oven and remove the bottom panel in oven which is fastened by two screws at the back. Lift up panel and pull foward to remove. Unscrew deflector plate and small plate that covers wiring hole. Remove ignitor from the burner. Replace ignitor. I found that you should also relpace burner at the same time. Burner usually causes the ignitor to go out. My burner had a hole in it and flames were shooting out directly on the ignitor which shortened the life of the ignitor. When you buy the burner it comes with an ignitor, you can't buy burner seperately but you can buy the ignitor seperately, so I recommend buying the kit.

installed the igniter as recommended by the web site.Fit like a glove. Works like a charm. Appliance repair would have been approx $140.00. Part plus shipping was right at $40.00. Made my day !!!

Removed the broiler pan in order to access the igniter. Removed the 2 retaining screws from the igniter. The hot surface igniter was obviously burned because a metal deposit crossed the arms of the igniter. There was a corrosion deposit on the burner that had also come into contact with the igniter. Removed the corrosion, had to cut the old electrical connector off and put it onto the new igniter by using the 2 wire nuts that came with it. Plug in the new igniter from the back side of the oven and reinstalled it with the 2 screws. Works great!!

Replace the ignition heater. The only slight problem was fishing the connector down through.Works fine.

replaced igniter/replacement part was identical/remove door, just open and lift off, remove oven shelf's, broiler and broiler draw/2 bolts on bottom back oven floor release the floor panel, lift up on back, slide forward/2 bolts release the igniter from the burner tube/only attaches on one side of igniter/have to reach in back of stove bottom opening to release the old igniter wire feed at the plastic connector clip/used needle nose plier to hold stove end of clip to release/also removed right side small back rear cover panel(2 bolts)inside oven/plastic clip end was hard to fish through the gas tube and the back of the oven, pretty tight/pushed thru with screwdriver/can also pry the back oven wall back a bit to get the new one through the same path, little opening in the bottom back, then go back to the back of the stove opening and re-connect plastic clip connector from the ignitor wire to oven feed...

I watched a video on how to replace the Oven Igniter first. Then I took out the racks, removed the bottom of the oven. Removed the warming drawer. I was able to disconnect the Ignitor through the warming drawer area, then I unscrewed the 2 screws holding the ignior in place. I was able to pull the ignitor wires through the opening and then put the new ignitor wires down the same area. It took a little wiggling but it went through. Reconnected the ignitor and put the oven back together. Started the oven and it heated up right away. Entire project took 45 minutes.

remove racks-remove heat tray in bottom of oven-cut wires-use ceramic wire nuts (supplied) to reconnect--saved over $140.00 from price quoted by repairman

watch the video. Do the repair. What could be easier. Bake some cookies just for a test.. I did it twice just to be sure. Thank you partselect. Rite part, rite price, fast shipping, arrived next day...............

Removed door by partially opening and pulling up. Removed racks out and undid two screws so bottom panel could be removed. Took out bottom drawer- there are tabs to push on in the track.... Unplugged old igniter. Unscrewed igniter and reversed process. Replacing screws requires some patience....

We put the new part in & the oven came on fine but then it would not shut off. We had to finally turn it off at the propane source. We had to go out and purchase a new stove.

The PartSelect on-line problem description and solution matched my problem so closely that I had to give their solution a try. Just a few modifications to the PartSelect on-line video were all that was needed. The only significant difference is that I didn't wear a white shirt;-) I have never had an on-line video more closely mirror exactly what my job required. I probably saved $150, and, in doing the repair myself, I learned details about the range construction and design that may aid with diagnosing and solving future problems.

I pulled out the oven racks and bottom tray and then removed the heat shields and old ignitor. The hard part was reaching the plug to disconnect the old part and reconnect the new one.I had to pull the stove out and get it from the back.Then everything was good as new.

First I went online and checked out the video to see if I could do it. It was really easier than the video showed because my oven was a little different than the one shown. I did it like the video showed me. I love your website and videos will be a return customer.

Repair would have went as per video, but connector i/f/o cover plate didn't disengage.Slowly pulling connector thru opening & slowly pushing new connection behind opening I was able to continue as per video.
