The foul order was the cause of a "Mummified Rat" that I found on the bottom Left /outside wall of the oven. I first Unplugged the stove and turned off the gas. I removed the grates and the burners. Each burner is held down with two (2) 3/16" screws which makes it a total of eight (8) screws in all. After removing all eight screws, you can now pop up the burner lid with a putty knife or a large Screw Driver. I used a large screw driver, After removing the "Lid" you will then see the "Insulation Blanket" draped over the oven, to remove this blanket there are two (2) copper wires securing the blanket in place, you'll have to cut these in order to install your New Blanket. Removing the "Blanket " is a "No Brainer" just be cautious and don't snag any of the "Igniter Wires" The "Insulation Blanket" goes on one way, this can be identified by the pre-cuts on the blanket. I started out on the left side of the stove, and had the right side of the "Blanket rolled up. As I tucked the "Blanket" under the "igniter Wires" and slowly and gently feeding it with my left hand till it lines up with the pre-cut and drapes itself into place as you maneuver it down with your hands Now start with the right side by unrolling the "Blanket" and following the same procedure making sure the "Insulation Blanket" is fully extended on both sides of the oven.

Removed the oven racks. Unscrewed the two screws that held the oven bottom in. Removed the burner shield (one nut to remove). Removed the two screws holding the igniter in place. Removed the wires from behind and attached to the igniter. Removed the cover from corner that shields the wire and plug. Removed the plug. Removed entire igniter assembly. Cut and stripped the wires and wired back to the ends by using the wire nuts provided with the new igniter. Then just reversed the steps to reinstall the igniter! Yaay! It works fine. And I am a 66 year old woman with no help! I was very happy with the service and instructions provided by PartsSelect! Thanks!

Replaced the oven igniter by removing the bottom oven tray (2 screws at back). Removed the 2 bolts that hold the igniter in place and cut the cables to it. Cut a little cable off the new igniter (cable supplied on the new igniter is long). Attached the new igniter with the 2 bolts and connected the cables together using the ceramic cable connectors supplied. Only thing to take care with is that you do not cut the cables too short and make sure to leave enough of a loop to join the cables together.

My mom did the repair for me. We did not have the right tools for the job which made it harder to do. First I flipped the breaker. Then we took out the oven racks. We then took the bottom metal part off the oven. This exposed the shield part and we removed it. Then she cut the wires and connected the new igniter the same way the old one was connected. It took about thirty minutes. We could do it again in about fifteen with the right tools. We went and priced new stoves the cheapest was 350.00. I'm so excited that my stove is working properly again.

Removed interior sheet metal to expose ignitor. Removed two nuts holding ignitor to braket. Cut wires. Attatched new ignitor, replaced sheet metal and baked a pizza.

Took everything apart and replaced

Removed covers, disconnected old igniter, spliced the new and replaced. The oven fired up as hoped!

Cut the wires and replace new ignitor very simple

Aging igniter glows but does not draw enough current to open the gas valve. Replaced igniter and it is working properly now.

I took the entire bottom inside of the oven apart except for the gas tube. The first time I did this it lit up, but it was so slow to heat. About 2 weeks later the oven wouldn't even light. I took the bottom out again and turned it on and held a grill lighter next to the gas tube and it was obvious no gas was coming out. I did some reading and found that if the igniter is not pulling enough amps the gas valve will not open, and that would explain why a couple weeks before it took forever to heat up. The igniter was on its last leg then died. So I ordered this part. It came in within 3 days!! Before I began the install I watched a few youtube vids on how to install the lighters and every oven they showed you just had to plug it into the safety valve. Simple enough right. HA!!! Of course I have an oven that Kenmore decided to make difficult. So..... 1) Removed the bottom cover inside the oven 1a) Turn off power to oven 2) Removed the flame spreader 3) Unbolted the old igniter 4) Remove the heating tray (not inside the oven, on the outside at the bottom, just pulled right out) 5) Find 2 wires from the old igniter 5a) My oven had only 1 wire going into the safety valve and another wire going into the power source 6) Cut the wires to the old igniter and remove old igniter 7) Bolt on new igniter and run wires down the hole 8) Cut new igniter wires to desired length (The new igniter length was too long in my opinion) 9) Splice the new igniter to the old wires still inside oven 9a) Top wire to gas valve, bottom wire to power 10) Reinstall all oven parts and hope you didn't drop too many screws :)

My husband is the repair genius. I just stand and watch but he had it fixed pretty quickly. Oven wouldn't work on Wednesday (holiday) when I had a house full of company coming. Had to use the oven in my microwave/oven/ convention/hood. Didn't think I could find a part for an oven that is over 10 years old.Could not believe that I ordered the part at 3 pm on Thursday and it arrived before noon on Friday and my husband had it fixed by 1 pm. You guys are great.

I am a 69 yr. old woman. I carefully removed old ignitor, keeping track of where everything reattached and how to reconnect. Had to strip the wires and reconnect. Very easy. From start to finish, less than 30 mins. Was so proud of myself.

I started by watching a YOUTUBE video that gave me the solution to the problem (Igniter). The instructions that came with the part were fine, but the print was so small I had to use a magnifying glass to read them (Honest). It took about an hour to complete but that included the time I took cleaning the burners and area around the bottom of the over. I turned it on, and it has be working fine. It acually heats up faster than I was used to.

Snipped the ignier wires at the igniter attached the wires with the ceramic wire nuts and replaced the igniter with two screws. Works like a champ and mama is happy.

ge gas oven that i've had for over ten years without any problems just stopped heating up even though i could see the igniter glowing red. once i was able to determine or "lucky guess" it was the igniter, i pulled the power plug so i couldn't get zapped. i took out all the drip pans and covers inside the oven to access the igniter. i then proceeded to remove the broiler drawer and disconnect the wires underneath. two screws on the igniter and was able to remove the bad one. now working on my table i cut the wires off the old igniter and spliced them with the supplied wire nuts (x2). i also felt better wrapping them after with electrical tape for my own added security. installed the new igniter and reconnected the slide clips under oven ,put all of the drip pans, etc back in the same way it came out. plugged it back in and double checked all of my connections and made sure there was no gas leaks, and everything worked beautiful. cost me $50 for the part that took only 2 days to get after i ordered, and about a half hr of my time with basic handyman skills. thanks parts select!!!!!!!
