Product Description: This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This horizontal mount igniter is designed for use with ranges, it ignites the gas to light the oven burner. This igniter can be used as a bake igniter or a broil igniter. This ignition circuit draws current and it flows through the ignitor, which heats it up and causes it to glow. The warmer the ignitor gets the more current it draws, when it reaches a certain temperature the ignitor will create a spark and light.

Oven gas burner igniter no longer working.

The oven had not been working in my 15 year old Amana 5.1 cubic ft. range for a long time...a really LONG time. I did a bit of googling on my range model and problem, came across others that had the same trouble and how they fixed it by replacing the lower burner's igniter. I decided to order a replacement try it myself. I ordered the ign ... Read more iter from PartSelect and it arrived in two days.

First I shut of the gas supply pipe to the range in my basement, then turned on a top burner to make sure the gas was off. Then the range was unplugged from the outlet, lower storage drawer removed, and all racks taken out of the oven.

REMEMBER....MAKE SURE THE GAS IS OFF AND THE RANGE UNPLUGGED FROM THE ELECTICAL SUPPLY!!!!!

For me the hardest part was maneuvering the range out from the wall to get access to the rear panel, as I was working alone. My stove was connected to the gas supply pipe (with another valve) by a flexible metal hose about 18" long, which allows the range to be moved enough to access to it's rear. There is a small panel (about 6" square) located at the center, near the bottom with four vents on it. Remove the two screws at the top and slide it out. Inside you will see the wires and connection from the oven igniter to the electrical supply. Go ahead and unplug it.
To get to the igniter from the oven you have to first remove the bottom cover by taking out two screws located at the rear on either side, and lifting it out. You will see the igniter attached with 2 Phillips head screws on the right side of the burner. Make sure you have a Phillips head driver of the right size with a snug fit as I found the screws to be extremely tight. With the igniter removed you can easily remove it from the oven side, install the new part and slide it's plug through the back. Go around to the rear and plug it in to the electrical supply.

Before you button things up, re-open the gas supply to the range and check for any leaks. If all is good, plug in the range and turn on the oven. The igniter will heat up and glow a bright cherry red and when the burner has been preheated the automatic supply valve will turn on and the gas will ignite (mine takes 35 seconds). Hopefully you problem will be solved.

I shut down the gas and electricity again and cleaned all the dirt and accumulated grunge from the exposed area before closing the rear panel and maneuvering the range back in place. Be careful not to kink or pinch the flexible connection. When done, reopen the gas, check for leaks and if all is good plug the range in again.

Tools needed:

To remove the, oven bottom, igniter, and rear panel you will need a properly sized Phillips head screwdriver. I also used an adjustable crescent wrench to shut off the gas supply, which you would also need should you choose to disconnect the gas line to the range. A plug in work light and battery powered flexible stalk work light were very useful also.
