11JY-2KW Magic Chef Range - Instructions

First turn gas off at pipe. Remove oven door, racks and bottom cover. Go to back of oven and unplug oven igniter. Back in front, unscrew 2 nut screws from igniter. To make things easier I tied a piece of string to the plug of the igniter, once I unscrewed the igniter I pulled it out with the string attached. When replacing I tied the string to the plug of the new igniter and pulled it from the back so the plug was able to come through, plug in the new igniter, screw it in place, replace the racks, covers, door and you're ready to enjoy some baking

Based off the information I found online, I determined we had a bad igniter. 1- disconnect oven from any power sources. If you have a gas model, be sure to valve off gas at this time as well. 2- Remove the racks and bottom pan in the oven. There is 2 push/pull locking mechanisms at the back of the oven that hold the tray in. Once you have this out you should have access to the gas tube and igniter. 3- Using a 5/16 nut driver, remove the 2 bolts on the mounting plate and the igniter should be free at this time. 4- Remove the bottom drawer to the oven. This will give you access to the electrical connections. 5- Remove the 2-3 screws that hold on the access panel toward the back of the unit. 6- Following the wires down, find the plug for the igniter and unplug. After this is done pull the wiring up through the oven and it will be the same to put back together just in reverse order. Relatively simple project that should take anywhere from 10-30 minutes depending on how handy you are. After reinstallation our preheat times went from 45 minutes to 10

Hardest part was disconnecting the gas line and moving the range out of the counter. Removed oven door for easier access to the igniter from the front. And the clean up. Installing the igniter was relatively easy from the rear of the range. I was not able to install the igniter through the front of the range because the wires were not long enough to pull the igniter forward through the front so it was necessary to pull the range out from the counter and install it from the rear. Then it was just a matter of removing a small dust cover at the rear by removing one screw. Then removing old insulation and disconnecting wires. Remove 2 mounting screws that held the igniter in place. These screws had to be removed from the front. Pushed the old igniter out through the rear of the range. Connected the new igniter wires. Pushed the new igniter through the rear of range and replace the new insulation. Mounted the new igniter with 2 screws. Reassembled everything and it worked ok.

removed cover over burner section ,removed power to burner section ,removed burner assembly, replaced ignitor assembly, wire in to control circuit ,replace burner section in oven,turnon power chech operation ,replace cover.

removed inside trays and grill inside large oven door on front to get to ignitor,removed ignitor with 1/4 drive socket,followed the wires off the ignitor thru the hole in back of oven and disconnected the connector,put on in reverse order.To simple to even write about,anyone can look at it and tell what needs to be done

Remove old igniter ,,again had to remove rear panel of unit to get to connecter..reverse procedure to install igniter. Video very helpful.

I replaced the igniter, several people on this site agreed that this is the problem and they where rigth.I t was an easy fix. I live 60 miles from the next town and repair shop. I am out in the Alaska bush and can only get to my place by boat or by floatplane. Thank you all you self fixers for your help.

Watch the video, it's too easy and best of all, the part fixed the oven!

Make sure power to the oven is disconnected. Remove all shelves. Partially open the bottom door and yank it out so it is out of your way. The igniter is next to the back and upper wall of the oven inside the lower (broiler) compartment. The igniter is held by two screws which I opened using a 5/16 or 8mm nut driver. After removing the two screws, remove the back plate using a regular phillips screwdriver. Next, pull out the two igniter wires until the connector comes out. Pressing the side tabs disconnect the igniter from the connector. Connect the new igniter. If nesessary, replenish some of the insulation with new insulation that arrived with the new igniter. Push excessive igniter wiring back, remount the backplate using the phillips screwdriver. Remount the new igniter using the nutdriver. Remount the bottom door. Put all shelves back. You are done.

DISCONNECT AC ELECTRICAL POWER TO RANGE AND TURN OFF GAS SUPPLY TO RANGE 1. Removed door (slide up and off hinges), no tools required. 2. Removed grate/s and burner cover to expose burner and igniter. 3. Used hex socket tool to remove two igniter bracket screws. 4. Carefully pull two woven glass insulated leads connected to igniter until connector is in reach. 5. Use care not to put unnecessary strain on leads and connector body. 5. Squeeze locking tongs of connector, and unplug igniter leads. 6. While holding female end of connector, insert new igniter electrical plug, making certain they latch together. 7. Carefully push excess leads / connector body into recessed area and wrap insulation supplied with igniter kit around glass woven leads of igniter, to re-insulate the cavity opening. 8. Position igniter on burner tube bracket and replace hex screw fasteners. 9. Plug in electrical power to range, turn on gas supply. Check oven for proper operation. If oven does not light, shut off gas supply, unplug electrical power and contact qualified service technician.

really easy thank you to your video

I am so gald I found Parts select. I was going to order a Gas valve for $140. All the comments said the problem was a bad igniter. even though the igniter was glowing bright it was not drawing enough pawer to open the gas valve. I purchased the igniter installed it in 15 minutes and my oven works like new.

Followed the excellent instructions on your web site. I removed the oven burner assembly to make it easier to install the new igniter. The connector on the new igniter matched the one in my oven exactly. It helps to have the oven light on!

There was a lot of trepidation about starting this project. What if this is the wrong part? What if I hook it up wrong? What if the gas line is not properly secured when I'm done? This is why it took my 6 months to start this project. I hesitantly looked up my product number online and partselect.com returned three of the top ten results so I clicked it. One of the best moves I've made. When the product was shipped, I received an email with a video attached that explained how to install the igniter. This is what set partselect.com apart from everyone else and differentiated my experience from a "maybe i'll look around more next time" to "I will use partselect for all of my appliance part needs from now on" experience. Thank you for the quality customer care.
