really easy thank you to your video

removed the top plates, the burner heads and their ignition wires. removed the four screws from the range top that hold the gas orifices to the top.Lifted the top off of the stove. used a 1/2 inch open end wrench to remove orifice tube assemblies. put the new tube assemblies in place, wrenched them down, secure but not overly secure. replaced other materials in the same way the they were removed. it took about thirty minutes. had some difficulty replacing the stove top.the stove is an older model and some of the pieces moved when the top was removed.

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.

The hardest part was removing the burners themselves, I used an oil filter wrench to twist them off. After that it went pretty quick. I also used a toothpick to clean out the holes on the burner, and now the igniters work on all the burners.

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!
