TGF657BFW9 Tappan Range - Instructions

Disconnected electric power. Removed oven floor and flame spreader to access igniter. Spliced replacement igniter to original igniter connector plug wires. Mounted new igniter and reinstalled flame spreader and oven floor. Reconnected electric power and checked oven operation. Oven light off time was within 1 minute and oven temperature controlled to all settings up to 450 degres.

Very Easy. Part arrived in less than 48 hours of ordering. Followed the directions included with part and referenced the information posted here.I have no mechanical talent and was able to install the part without difficulty.

I checked the igniter resistance with an ohm meter. It read about 350 ohms. Voltage across igniter leads with igniter removed was 120 volts when the oven temperature control was turned on, so I knew the gas control and thermostat were ok. The new igniter has a resistance of about 220 ohms, so the difference was apparently enough to keep the oven from turning on. This is the second igniter I've replaced in this 20 year old oven, the first bad igniter had open resistance, obviously since it was visibly cracked. The repair went very fast, directions were great.

Turned off power removed racks removed bottom panel removed flame distribution plate removed igniter i didn't use -the wire nuts 'the wires on the new part were more than long enough so i installed new stake ons reveresd disassembly process turned power back on and now it works great with a factory look

First I read other comments here; then checked youtube.com to see if there was a video - there was! Easily removed the stove door and the storage drawer to access the spring. Removed the spring and used screwdriver to remove 2 of 3 screws - third had a nut on back which required removal of the decorative panel next to the door. After applying Liquid Wrench, was able to use vise-grip to remove last bolt. Inserted new hinge, attached the spring to hinge and stove frame then inserted the 3 screws. Reattached the decorative panel and was done. Repklaced a hinge, not a stove!!!

replaced the ignitor switch, umplug oven turn off gas. removed racks unscrewed two screws in back of oven (inside of oven), removed bottom piece of oven, one screw for broiler cover removed, then two screws for ignitor, cut wires peeled off some excess covering, twisted the new ignitor to wires covered with attached cap tightly replaced two screws in ignitior, replaced one screw in broiler cover, two screws for bottom cover, replaced racks, pluged in turned gas and turned on stove ignitor lit up and started oven broiler, now i can cook again.

1. First, I read other people's instructions on this site, and that helped quite a bit. My own model was attached somewhat differently, so I was unable to replace the igniter in the same fashion as others. 2. Turned off the power to the oven after having done the non-electrical work: removed cover plate from bottom of inside oven (two screws in the back) to expose the igniter, and the heat shield from underneath the oven once the oven drawer was removed. Old, old screws so that was a bit of rolling around on the floor. 3. After that it was fairly easy: turned off the breaker, snipped one igniter wire from a plastic harness assembly under the oven and the other from the electrical core underneath the oven which was attached with a clamp. 4. Removed two screws to release the igniter. Now I could work on it in the light. Stripped the old wire underneath the oven, attached the old clamp to the other new wire, and then clamped one wire on and joined the other to the plastic harness wire with the screw cap. It was a bit of effort merely to get at things, but not difficult. Breaker back on, and the oven now works perfectly.

Just opened up the oven and went to work. Really easy repair. Removed floor of oven with two thumb screws. Removed flame diverter plate from burner with one screw. Removed igniter with two screws. Marked top wire, then untwisted old wire nuts to remove the old igniter. Replaced with new igniter and used enclosed new wire nuts. Reassembly was simply the reverse of above. Only issue - I needed longer arms to comfortably reach back into the oven!

Oven ignitor glowing but no flame . Tested ignitor w/ ohm meter reading 2.5ohms , should be 3.3 or higher to allow gas flow . Ordered new ignitor , replaces and jackpot !! Oven now fires and heats like new . Thanks for part . Cost , $50 instead of $150 .
