Followed instructions shown in video on line.

Disconnected the electrical supply to the Oven. Removed Oven base heat shield by unscrewing thumb screws in the back of the oven. Removed secondary heat distribution plate from the gas burner by unscrewing two self tapping metal screws on the front of the plate and unscrewing the retaining nut in the center of the plate. Removed two stainless steel retaining screws holding the oven igniter, cut the electrical wires to the igniter removed the fiberglass insulation tubes from the existing wires and placed them on the new igniter wires. Routed the new electrical wires through the access in the bottom of the over where the original wires came from the control circuit. Reconnected the new electrical leads to the previous leads using ceramic wire nuts supplied with the igniter. Reconnected electrical supply and tested oven igniter to ensure it would heat and ignite the gas oven burner. Reassembled the heat distribution plate onto the oven burner. Reassembled the oven base plate. Note: Replaced the oven light during the repair cycle.

I just pulled out the drawer, and inserted the replace part into the little hole that the old one was. It works great.Very easy to do.

With screw driver, popped out old glide and popped in new ones. Apparently there are some pieces missing that the front drawer glides slide on. I have not found a picture so I don't know what they are. partselect was very prompt in sending what I did order. Thanks.

Watched on-line video to confirm I was ordering correct part and installation took less than 30 seconds. Video was very helpful.

Right part, right instruccions= succesfull repair.Thank you.

removed bottom oven panels and removed ignitor ,then cut wires on bad ignitor as close as possible.taped new ignitor to old wires and pulled them through the bottem of oven and made connections.

Removed the old oven racks and put in the new ones.

I actually read the first post, then ordered the part. The part showed up very quickly. I removed old part, attached new part with the ceramic wire nuts and put back together... Literally took 5 minutes and now works great...

replaced old part with new one and fixd the problem.

I followed past on-line repair reviews by prior customers, who problems were nearly identical to mine. It was basically an extremly easy repair. Those reviews/notes are great, leading to using partselect as a valuable start source for parts replacement. (I removed the part before ordering for assurance of getting the correct item. )

It took about 3 years to order and 3 minutes to fix. forgot to turn off "easy" video on conputor. Wife watched was mad........... for taking so long to fix. 41 years married, any video to fix wife and get me to 42 years as easy as changing draw glides? Thanks Jon

I called the repairman, and he said parts were no longer available for this appliance. He charged $85.00 for this advice. As soon as he left I looked on the internet and found your site and looked for the part. I found it right away, ordered it, and installed it. It was easy to install and it works great. The repairman candidly told me that new ovens are not near the quality as mine is and that is why I didn't want to buy a new oven. Thank you for providing an alernative to our throw-away society.

The oven began to have low heat and then no heat. Read about it on-line and figured it was the igniter for the oven. Found the model number on stove/oven frame behind the bottom draw. Then I looked at a few on-line videos about how to install the piece. I have a convection oven and had to take the fan cover off to remove the bottom inside cover of the stove and I couldn't figure out how to remove the oven door to make it easier...so I had to leave the oven door on the stove. The stove door is heavy so be aware of that issue. Also I needed help...it was a two people operation. I needed to lay the stove on it's back to get to the piece. I needed to cut the wires and remember where everything went it was as simple as the video made it out to be...there were a few more wire connections. There is the issue of the door ...be careful you can stand the stove up and bring it down again but if not be careful/mindful of the door and it's weight and desire to slam closed...maybe a third person would be good to have around. ;) Anyway it can be done. Have patience. Take your time. Have a buddy to help you. Best part...the oven is now heating!! ;) Lovely!

After watching the videos on removing and replacing the front and rear glides on the bottom drawer, I was able to take the bottom drawer out, use a screwdriver to pry all the glides out of their slots and snap them all back in place in less than a minute. Without the videos I was completely helpless in knowing the sequences to performing this task.
