Oven burner ignitor would glow but burner would not light.
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.

Bad igniter
Shut off power, pulled oven out, shut off gas, removed racks and bottom cover. Two bolts held the igniter on, remove those and feed the electrical connector plug through the back of the oven and replace igniter. Be sure the bolts are not too rusty as one if them sheared off and I had use a pair of side cutters to hold the screw while I removed the broken section of the screw.

Oven was very slow to light
Removed door, took off old igniter. Had to redo plug , simple, because kit had wires to splice to make it work. Whole job was 30 min. Recomend to anyone. Saved $75 on a service call. Bill

Oven ignitor lighting but oven not lighting
Initially found timer/board faulty. Replaced with new. OK. Then found the ignitor lighting but the flame not starting for the burner. Upon doing research on this oven, I found the ignitor opens the oven valve by a high amperage draw. The ignitor was starting but not glowing bright enough, or drawing enough amps to open the gas valve. If the ceramic on the ignitor is gray,or "chalky" looking, change it. It may open the valve faster and your oven will perform better. Just because the ignitor is lit doesn't mean its working correctly.

The Oven would not light
I called the yellow pages repair man and he quoted me $450 to replace the igniter. I did it myself for $63 and it took 10 minuet's. I'm gonna get a T shirt that says "Mr Fix It" Next is the refrigerator door gaskets! Someone from part select had mentioned that to take the door off the oven you "just open the door a little and lift it off". that was a helpful hint because I would have been looking for screws for half a day!

Igniter not drawing sufficient current (Amps) to actuate gas safety valve and turn on burner.
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.

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.
