I removed the oven racks and the bottom cover. The bottom cover had 2 hand tight screws. Then I had to remove the silver sheet metal plate attached with 1 screw. Then I removed the 2 small screws that held the old Igniter in place. Then removed the 2 wire nuts connected to the oven wires. The new igniter fit in the same place as the old and I attached it using the same old screws. Then I connected the wires using the new wire nuts provided in the igniter kit. After testing the new igniter by turning the oven on to 200F, i replaced all the parts i removed including the silver plate the oven bottom and the racks.

I removed the bottom drawer from the oven, took my handy nut driver out and removed two screws from the round igniter. When it was loose from the oven I removed the two wire nuts conecting it to the power sourse, I reversed the process and it was working again. One thing did go wrong my wife made me clean the oven that wasn't part of my plan :)

Using descriptions provided by others at this site, I replaced the old igniter with the new one very easily. Since this was the second time this oven has needed a new igniter, I did not need to cut the wires as described. Instead, I just disconnected the old igniter wires and rewired the new igniter wires. Replaced all the items I'd removed and the oven functions just fine.

I took the old igniter out and replaced it with a new one.

Removed oven racks
Remove oven bottom
Remove 2 screws holding the glow coil onto the burner
Install the new glow coil with the furnished screws
Reinstalled the 2 wires back where you took them off

Replaced the old igniter with new one in 15 minutes. Popped the door off, took the bottom plate off, unscrewed the igniter and disconnected wires. Put the new igniter in and reversed the steps.....piece o'cake! Works great now!

removed screw from heat sheild, unpluged igniter and tested for 110v on wires feeding igniter (ok). removed bad igniter,ordered new one and installed with 2 - 1/4in. hex head screws. cut old male and female plug ends off old igniter, and wirenutted onto new igniter. turned on oven and it works fine. but noticed after oven burner lights, igniter stays on the whole time oven is on. I would think that it should go off when burner lites. Does anyone know if this is normal operation?

Turn off electric supplying appliance,then remove oven bottom plate.Remove ignitor wires from controller and oven control,then remove two screws holding burner ,lift burner from gas valve,remove two screws holding ignitor.Replace with new,and re-assemble.

put the new part

well part was correct .Got it fast son installed it so do not know what tools, But at last one think i did clean under the stove, which was needed. Would do business again if needed.
Thank you

My neighbor, a retired electrican, came over and almost had to take apart the total oven to get at the igniter. It was very difficlt to get at and take off. I don't know who disigned this, but it sure was not designed to fix easily. Products are not designed to be fixed. The companys want us to buy new products. America is a throw away society. Anyone trying to fix this part on their own: Good Luck!

Took the pan off the bottom of oven (2 screws). Took one screw out of burner to get at igniter. Removed 2 igniter screws with ratchet which was a little difficult. Then cut the old wire since I was provided with wire nuts and using the old connectors and wire nuts, rewired the igniter and replaced the screws and replaced the pan on the bottom of the oven. Access to the wires is through the bottom pan by removing the drawer.

Your web site depicting igniter was perfect in helping me diagnose prob. Two other commentaries by people who fixed the same problem were also right on. I had to take out a second plate below the top ( primary ) drip plate, & above the warming drawer. Though akward to lay on one's belly to fix, all went well. Started right up & Christmas cookie -baking ensued. Great web site, great instructions. Thank you very much. Jeff M. PS, I initially went to another web site, starting with an "A", and found it hard to use & vague.

The broiler still worked, so I knew the issue was not with the power or gas to the oven. It was easy to remove the inside bottom of the oven to look at the igniter and burner. 4 screws hold the oven bottom in place. After the igniter was in view, I turned on the oven to see if it glowed, which it did not. 2 more screws out and the igniter was loose. The two wires coming out of the igniter go through a hole in the back of the oven to a compartment below the oven. This compartment is accessed by removing the bottom drawer and removing a panel in the lower back of the oven held in by 4 screws. After disconnecting the wires, I attached a thin pull wire to them then pulled the igniter out through the oven door. The pull wires made it easy to feed the new igniter wires through the back of the oven. The rest is a reverse of the process.
