Stovetop worked fine, but Oven didn't always light.
Open oven door and remove metal splash plate on bottom of oven by removing two screws in back.
Remove heat distribution plate (metal) by unscrewing a single nut with pliers.
Now the ignitor is visible. Unscrew old ignitor by backing off two screws.
Detach the wires and reattach to new ignitor. (a cover plate may have to unbolt from the left back corner to get at one of the wiring connections.)
Reattach new ignitor and then flame distribution plate.
Put on splash cover and tighten back screws.
Test oven, it should light within 1 minute.
All is done.

Oven either over or under heated
1)First unplug range.
On inside of oven, there's a copper, pen-like object connected to a copper wire. 2)Open the clips on side of oven that hold the pen-like object(the probe.)
3)Open the lid of the stove. On left hand side, there's a hole through which to pull the copper wire and probe out of the stove. Or you can just as easily use wire cutters to cut off probe and just pull wire from the oven through the hole. 4)Pull off the oven's thermostat control knob. Using screwdriver, unscrew both screws under where the knob was. 5)Now pull the flat wire connecters from both sides of the old thermostat. Remember which wire goes on which side.
6)Remove old thermostat and copper wire that's connected to it.
Replace thermostat. 7)Feed copper wire with probe through hole on left side of stove.
8)Slide flat wire connecters onto sides of new thermostat. Replace screws. Insert new probe into clips on side of oven. Close stove cover. Replace thermostat control knob. Plug in range. Test thermostat. 9)According to owner's manual, turn oven to 350° and oven should be no more than 50° above setting.

The old igniter no longer worked properly, so I needed to install a new one.
1. Unplug the range to ensure there is no electricity running through the range. The repair can be done with the propane/gas line still connected.
2. If possible, remove the storage drawer for ease of access.
3. Remove the screw from the metal plate in the left corner of the oven. Detach the end of the igniter cord that you find plugged in there.
4. Remove the two screws that hold the igniter in place. The old igniter should fall to the bottom of the range.
5. Take a picture of the two other cord connections that run into the middle of the back wall. This will come in handy for reference when you install the new igniter.
6. Route the longer extension of the new igniter cord through the hole in the metal corner plate, attach the cord, and put the screw back in to secure the corner plate.
7. Affix the new igniter to the same spot the old one had been in, using the two screws from step 4.
8. Plug in the two shorter cord extensions, using the photo from step 5 if necessary.
9. Reattach the drawer if necessary and plug the range back in.
10. Set the clock, then set the oven to a desired temperature to begin heating. If the repair was successful, the igniter will light the gas piped into the range, and you will see a ring of flame.

Stove was dropped and had broken, bent frame and adjuster feet
New ones fit perfectly. Take a minute to bend the frame straight. Then and I used oversize screws on the replacement parts as the drop had stripped out the screw holes of the frame.

Wood Burning Oven
The Appliance light was installed in a wood burning oven used by a commercial bakery. The entirely masonry oven is used to cook a specialty product with origins in Brazil.
We first drilled a 11-3/4 hole from the inside of the oven starting at the fire brick that passed through the concrete block outer shell of the oven to accommodate the insulated wiring to the on/off switch outside the oven. Then we commissioned a special steel cowling to enclose the the back and sides of the lamp so that the lamp faced down, instead of out and the back of the fixture was protected. The back of the lamp was attached to the insulated switch wires, then the custom lamp housing with filled with fire proof insulation. The entire lamp housing was then attached to the upper face of the masonry wall with 1/4" x 4" masonry bolt head screws. This type of installation was required because the oven overall size of 6' tall x 4' wide X 4' ID dimensions required a heat resistant light to illuminate 15 shelves of product being produced.
The oven lamp purchased works perfectly for the new oven. By the way, the oven does not have a brand, as it was created as a one of a kind, the brand of the oven lamp was taken from a Kenmore Gas Range.

Igniter failed to ignite propane
Pulled out broiler drawer, removed 3 bolts, plugged in new igniter. Only issue was one of the tiny bolts stripped, so now only have 2 holding it in place.
