I removed the old igniter by working a thin screwdriver under the edge of the igniter, and carefully prying it up. I then used pliers to pull off the electrical wire. Connected up the new igniter, and pushed it back into the hole. A very simple repair.
I've replaced 2 igniters on this stove. My symptoms were that when I tried ... Read more to light one of the bad burners I heard clicking, and could see the spark on the other (working) burners. So I knew the basic sparking function was working. Just that the igniter on the broken burner would not spark.

To take off the top - use Star screw drivers to remove the burners
Remove all the burners.
The star screws, and the burners are the only thing holding the top on.
Take off the steel top.
That exposes the ignitor switch assembly.
Make sure you follow the positioning diagram that comes with the new part.
Thats it really.
I removed the gas, because I thought I had to, but you don't need to. You can do the whole job in 30 minutes if you are careful.
Hope it helps.

A rubber grate foot on my range top had worn out. I pulled the worn foot out and installed the new grate foot with no tools or accessories. Good as new! Now I don't have to worry about the grate scraping my range top and scratching the paint. I also ordered extras so I won't have to wait if another wears out.

Pulled the old one out. Disconnected the wire. Repaired the frayed wire cover with Liquid Tape. Connected the wire. Inserted the new part into the hole. This is after installing a new spark module earlier. But that was dumb easy too. So for about $100 bucks in parts and an hour of my time I saved myself the appliance repairman money and

I was pretty upset as the grate wobbled, so I went on line and looked for GE Profile parts. To my amazement, I found the little rubber feet quite easily, and within 2 days they were here at my home. I simply had to stick them in the holes; however, I noted that they did not fit real tight, so I removed them and shot a little glue on the

There are already some very good instructions for this repair on the website - I followed them as written. I recommend going through the instructions carefully first to make sure you have everything you will need and so you know what to expect. Also, if practical I recommend you do the disassembly before ordering the parts so you know e

xactly what you need. A couple of burner gaskets got messed up during disassembly, so I decided to replace them and ordered a couple along with the harness assembly. A couple of the igniters were difficult to disconnect from the wiring and I was afraid I was going to break some, but managed to get them off intact. The replacement harness assembly didn't look just like the old one that I removed and at first I thought I'd have to exchange it. Check the paper that comes in the box with the harness and it will show how the new one goes on. Everything went back together easily and all igniters are operating.

First step is to turn off the electrical then disassemble the cook top. It is secured to pan by each of the burner mechanisms. Disconnect the spark wire from each porcelain drip pan. Separate the glass top from the pan. If it's stuck gently slide a putty knife int between the two to separate and carefully set the glass top aside. The spa

rk module was a bit challenging in that the colors of the wires didn't match so if you aren't comfortable with electrical work I would get help. The module didn't fit the bracket so,I had to drill new holes and use self tapping screws to mount it. The other part part I intended to change was the spark igniter switch. Unfortunately the wiring was incompatible so I had to return that part. This top was sold by Kenmore but made by GE and is over 10 years old so I suspect an engineering change obsoleted my part. Overall the job wasn't that bad if you are reasonably mechanical..
