New ones fit perfectly. Take a minute to bend the frame straight. Then and I used oversize screws on the replacement parts as the drop had stripped out the screw holes of the frame.

Oven would not light upon setting for oven heat-up. Igniter would glow, but no gas flow. Gas Valve safety not sensing enough current draw from igniter to open gas valve. Original igniter measured 175 Ohms on Volt-Ohmmeter. New Igniter measured 74 Ohms before installation and use. Installed and spliced into existing wires using good qualit y wire nuts and tucked wiring into wire areas ensuring it was away from burner flue. Oven lit on first start-up! Problem fixed! Easiest to get to by removing broiler drawer, pressing catch tangs in from outside rails using a small screwdriver. 1 screw of 2 on igniter mount was stripped and difficult to remove, but working with pliers and nut driver was able to remove it with some difficulty. New Igniter hangs fine with 1 screw. .

Our gas oven was taking longer to light, and we were smelling gas. Our adult children were worried about us. Uh-oh...

I researched the actual problem and found the correct part to order. My husband researched repair videos and saved them until our part arrived. On repair day he pulled the oven away from the wall, turned off the gas to the oven at the shutoff, and unplugged the electric cord. He removed the oven door, baking racks, oven floor, shield unde r the oven floor, and storage drawer. It was a little awkward for him to get at the igniter location in the center of the oven. Once he got the old igniter unplugged and the new one in place, he followed the video instructions to plug the electric cord in again to test the new part -- while everything else was still dismantled. The new igniter fired on in just a few seconds and glowed red, just as expected. Successful test! Then he reassembled all the parts, needing a third hand to hold the igniter assembly in place so he could put in the screws. He took his time, and thinks it took him about an hour. I took a golden opportunity to soak the racks and oven floor in Oxi-Clean for an hour, then scrubbed with steel wool (not the unpainted shields!), and eventually the oven front, and inside walls. Once we had everything in place we turned on the oven, listened gratefully to the speedy ignition, and let it run for about 25 minutes. This 20 year old oven looks and works like a new model again -- and it's mostly clean. All in all, this was a fairly easy repair. We've never done this before, and tread carefully through it. We didn't want to mess with gas. Hooray and congratulations! I'm rather proud of him :)

Really easy to do, did not have to bring stove out from the wall! Turn power off to the stove. Remove the lower drawer. Remove the oven rakes. With a slotted screwdriver remove two screws in back of bottom oven cover, use 1/4 inch socket to remove two screws in front. Remove bottom oven cover. You can then see the part to be removed whi ch has two wires going into it, the unit looks identical to the new part which heats up and lights the gas grill for the oven. I cut the two wires from the old part, remember which is the upper and lower; remove two screws holding onto part. Wire new part remembering top and bottom. Push extra wire down into bottom drawer and then mount new part with two screws. Turn power back on and try oven. Lite right away for me so I knew I had replaced the bad part. Reassemble and Enjoy!!

Turned the gas and the electricity off to the gas range. Took the two large screws out in the back of the range holding on the first pan. Have to look for them. Took off the single nut holding on the second pan. Used nut drive #10 to take off nuts. Be careful you do not lose them. Took off inoperative unit. Cut wires to unit. Stripp ed wires which connect to range. Put new unit on and tightened nuts with nutdriver. Spliced wires together and put on wire nuts securely. Taped them to the wires. Put the second pan back, then the first pan. Turned on gas and electricity to test.
Worked fine. Found that the old unit was cracked and had a piece missing. Must use flashlight. Be safe.
