uneven heating of oven
This repair was super easy. I removed the two screws holding the oven sensor in place, pulled the sensor from the oven wall to expose the two wires attached to the sensor cut and spliced in the new sensor as per instructions. The supplied wiring kit made this splice very easy. I then reinserted the wires and sensor from the oven wall, put the screws back in place tested the oven. Oven now works like new and I got bonus points from a happy wife!

oven failed to light
Removed door easy just lift off hinges, remove bottom drawer,remove racks and burner cover at the bottom (two slotted screws in back). Igniter visible on right side of the burner tube. However, it is mounted below the burner tube making it difficult to reach the two screws that hold it to the flange on the burner tube becasue there is no space between the lower burner cover and the burner tube. I tried removing the lower cover (several screws but didn't not come out. However one of the screw held the burner tube in the front. With the screw removed the tube raised up enough to get the the igniter's screws actually 1/4 hex head bolts - no room for nutdriver so used a socket. Wprked but very awkward reaching in with one hand but doable. Wiring was simple just put new leads through the holes in the back of the lower cover and make the connection underneath. The hard part was putting screws back in the ingniteer - unfortunately there are holes directly beneath the igniter and there is a second layer below the burner tube cover which neatly caught the screws as they slipped out of my socket. No way to retrieve them. So I tried the new screws that came with the igniter but they were too long and hit the burner tube before they got tight. To save a trip to the hardware store mid-repair I added two small washerse under the head of the new screw to keep it from hitting the tube. Worked ok and oven fired up immediately when turned on the oven. Another hint be careful removing the burner cover at the bottom of the over ours was covered by blogs of burned grease that really messed up the floor and my not-so-good anyway pants. Jim

failed ignitor
First, I need to say what a phenomenal shipping response from parts select. You could be forgiven for thinking I asked them to overnight the part - Removed the panels needed to give me access and swapped out the part. Most difficult was attaching the new wire. Only about 2" of the old wire protruded and it was quite tricky to get a wire nut back on.

Gas oven failed to heat.
I opened the oven to observe the ignition process. When I put it on "broil" I saw this silver tube begin to glow red and then the gas turned on and the broiler ignited. When I tried it on "bake", nothing happened. So I assumed the igniter on the bottom element was defective. As usual, I came to PartSelect and searched for the part which I immediately found. Then I found comments other users had left which indicated the igniter was what caused the same problem on their ranges and that it was easy to replace. The part came in 3 days with standard shipping and I installed it in about 20 minutes. Now the range works like new for about $70 instead of the $200 a repair person would have charged.

turn on the oven and after a minute or so there would be a mini explosion and the oven would heat normally
went to parts select and entered my oven model number and read the typical problems and remedies.....selected the one that fit my problem and order the igniter and it arrived in less than 2 days. took about 20 minutes to install using the instructions and this cured the problem. saved a $100 service call charge.

Oven would not work - igniter would not heat up
I removed the racks, door and bottom of the oven (2 screws). The wires went lower so I pulled out the bottom drawer. I removed two wire nuts and removed 2 screws to remove the burner tube and igniter assembly. I removed two screws to remove the igniter from the burner tube. Replaced the igniter (2 screws), replaced the burner tube/igniter assembly (2 screws). Connected the wires - which one goes to which wire doesn't matter - screwed on the wire nuts and turned it on. It worked so I put it all back together and cooked a turkey.

The new ignighter did not come with the connectors to simply replace the part. I had to cut the old ends and splice them onto the new part.
I removed the broiler and the cover in the oven itself. I then removed the burner assembly, and unplugged the two wires of the ignighter. I then removed the ignighter from the Burner tube. I then spiced the old wire ends onto the wires of the new ignighter. I then replaced the Burner assembly, hood up the wiring and reassembled the oven and broiler.

Oven would not heat up to temperature.
because my oven had two floor panels I had to take and remove both to be able to reach and unscrew the mounting screws to the igniter.This process took extra time, but putting the igniter in was simple.

Gas oven not heating but stove top working okay.
Troubleshot the problem, located the part (igniter), tested with ohm meter, and ordered all using online help tools. I got a good price on the part and it showed up the next day. All the necessary adapters shipped with the part and the installation went perfectly. My oven is working again. It doesn't get any better than that.
