Oven ignitor is on the bottom gas unit. Ignitor is in oven and plug is in warmer oven on left wall at very back of warmer oven. It has duel function to light both upper and lower gas burners (in oven). Wires of new plug that I received were shorter than existing wires and would not reach the plug from ignitors center mount location to plug at far back of warming unit on left wall. Even if the wires would have been long enough, I couldn't figure out how to "release" the existing plug. Easy solution: Cut old wires at junction of old ignitor (leaving wires as long as possible). Cut new wired as close to new male plug as possible (leaving wires as long as possible on new ignitor). Strip ends of old and new wires and wire nut with porcelin wire nuts (hardest part of job was locating porcelin wire nuts)! After placing wires out of the way of burner and ignitor, reassemble stove parts. AVOID touching new element as oil from hands will decrease the life of the element. Good Luck..
Tore the oven apart and replaced the igniter, then put the oven back together. Perhaps if Frigidaire manufactured an appliance that lasted longer than three years this wouldn't have been necessary. This is the second Frigidaire range that only lasted three years. Believe, the next stove we buy will definitely not be a Fridgidaire!

OVEN WOULD NOT HEAT UP OVER 100 DEGREES
I "You Tubed" disassembly and commenced by disconnecting electric power. Removed door via You Tube instruction, removed back panels of unit, and replaced the oven temp probe. Easy Peasy. Then removed bottom of oven, next level above the burner and started to remove the igniter. One nut refused to be removed so I removed the burner and cut the nut and drilled it out. I reinstalled the new igniter with a metal screw from the rear panel and reinstalled the burner. Through the tiny hatchway I reconnected the new igniter and reassembled the oven to test. Just fine heated to 350 in 7 minutes. Awesome. Then, I called my brother, Pat, to give his imprimatur to the hillbilly nut switch. He said ok, I am done.
To any reading this, I would order the igniter and the burner at the same time. That tough nut cost my one extra hour.
lost the metal clip inside the knob. so knob was loose
I compaed price at different sites and partselect .com was 30% cheaper for the same item. I received the part in 2 days by fed-ex. Doing the job was real easy.Just pull the old knob out and put the new one in.
Our oven igniter went 6 months after we bought the appliance.
I ordered the replacement igniter for the oven portion of the unit from Part select. It shipped very quickly. Upon receiving the igniter it was time to get to work. It took roughly 10 mins to replace and we were back up and running.
Unplug oven to prevent shore. Make sure to purchase ceramic wire nuts to complete repair. No access to able to plug in the plug. Need to unscrew the plates in the bottom of the oven to get to the igniter. Cut the plugs off and use the ceramic wire nuts to connect the wires. Put make together. It took a Month for the part to arrive.
Your service was OUTSTANDING...Ordered one afternoon, and before lunch time the next day, the delivery man rang my door bell...Thanks a bunch for you excellent service.....
When the part arrived, I open the box. Cut off my breaker to the range. Pulled back the stove and unscrewed the back. Located the probe, unscrewed the one screw that held it in. I then unclamped the white connectors, remove the old probe, replaced it with the new one reclamped the connectors. Screwed it back into the range. Replaced the back and screwed that back together. It was so easy I was very proud of my self. I cut the breaker back on and cooked a can of biscuits just to see if it really worked. And it did. My bread was not burned, it was cooked to perfection.
The light apparatus was loose behind the panel. Remove the remaining part of the lens. Install the new lens from the outside of the panel and hold it in position, protruding into the inside of the panel. Slide the light apparatus onto the lens from the inside, allowing the bracket to hold it in place - it will be spring loaded, which will hold it in place.
While removing burned out light bulb, the glass cover fell to the floor of the oven and broke!!
Husband very ill in bed. It's up to me!! Got a new bulb at HomeDepot and figured out how to get that wire 'thing' back in and the new glass cover installed. I DID IT!! WOW! My husband has always done these jobs around the house.......but now it's up to me.......and I'm not so dumb after all! I DID IT!! Now everyone who comes in the house.....I show them what I DID!! :-)
