RST399UL (P1132642N L) Caloric Range - Instructions

I am writing this post to hopefully save someone else the frustration and confusion I experienced when I ordered a replacement ignition module for an Amana gas cooktop AKGD3060WW. Over time, three of the four burner would not light. I ordered a replacement spark module from PartSelect and to my surprise it arrived the next day.

The installation instructions were very confusing. I read the instructions posted by prior customers about this part and none of them helped or seemed to apply to the same cooktop. With the use of the exploded view on PartSelect website I was able to figure out where the module was located.

I turned off the gas and unplugged the unit.

I had to go under the cabinet and securely prop up the cooktop cavity box from below as I had to take off the whole cover, which was actually holding, or mounting, the unit to the counter top.

I removed the cooking units then, the control knobs and the glass control plate, and the vent filter and vent cover. After removing about 20 screws from the main frame/cover I located the spark module at the rear of the unit, sandwiched between two pieces of sheet metal and obstructed by numerous wires. I recorded the wire connections then unplugged the module. It was difficult to remove module due to the numerous unrelated wires that were routed through that area.

I connected the wires to the new module (NOTE: The replacement module has no terminal identification.), plugged the cooktop into the power and tested it and noted that all four burners now received a strong spark.

The original unit is smaller than the replacement unit and the supplied bracket does not fit this cooktop. I had to force the module into position. I removed the two small tabs and applied double sided tape applied to the bottom then secured it against the original mounting bracket. I then adjusted the wires back into the recess with the module and reassembled the cooktop.

The cooktop now lights all four burners instantly, for the first time in several years.

Using a meter, we determined each of the four igniters had continuity from end to end and also had continuity from the end of each igniter back to the spark module. At that point we decided the module was probably bad and, after reviewing some similar-sounding problems on this website, I ordered the module. Installation was simple and solved the problem. All four burners now ignite as they should. One caution - the installation instructions that came with the new module did not describe anything like my stove.

The first igniter was received broken. A replacement was received within 5 days. It was very easy to install once the protective cover was placed over the igniter end. In my opinion, this part should be sold with the protective cover already in place.

Turned off gas supply and power. Removed four wires by hand and with a needle-nose pliers after making simple schematic. Disconnected gas supply to valve and valve outlets to broiler and oven. Also loosened other end of gas supply (on regulator) to swing it out of the way. Tools used....open end wrenches. Removed two nuts on left side of valve holding valve to bracket. Tools used...1/4" socket set. Since the nuts holding the right hand bracket were difficuly to reach, I removed the bracket, allowing the valve to be removed. Tools used....1/4" socket set. I then removed the right hand bracked and mounted it on the new valve. I then installed the new valve in the reverse order. I then opened the gas supply and tested the inlet connection(s) for leakage with soapy water. Perfect seal. I turned on the power, set the clock, and tested the oven and broiler. Worked perfectly. The only thing that prevented this from being a really easy job was the location of the valve....in cramped location.

Discriptions provided by others in this section made it easy and there is little additional insight I can add. The part was delivered the next day. I don't reply to these requests for comments, as providing what I paid for is the expectation. But, this outfit did a good job.

Replaced the igniter. Took out the 20 screws holding the bottom plate of the oven. Removed the igniter and gas tube mounting screws and bracket. Took off the wire nuts that attached igniter to stove wiring. Carefully installed new ignitor, using reverse of the steps above. Igniter tip is very fragile, so beware as you handle. All went very well, and oven now works like a charm

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

Removed the oven doors for access; removed the burner onto which the ignitor is attached, disconnected the electrical wires (power off). Reversed the procedure to put it back together. We are now cooking with gas again. Thanks. Fletcher

bought used, oven light was damaged from previous repair attempt, without installation instructions removing the fixture was tricky, had to bend the housing tabs inward w/screwdriver to release fixture (more damage). once out the new fixture went in place quite easily, wires simply hook up, re install back panel, re-connect power, Have a nice Day!

I had already removed the old hinges by removing the screws/bolts and removing the broken hinges from the back side through the drawer below the oven that I had already removed. Took the new hinges and screwed the two metal screws into the top hole on the new hinges after placing hinge in vise, one screw on each then removed them and placed them to the side. Determined the right tap from my tap set, and then tapped the bottom two holes on the new hinges, one on each. Placed the bolts that came with the new hinges into the holes I had just tapped, screw them in, then I removed them and placed to the side. Took hinges and bolts / screws to the oven, inserted hinges in through the drawer that I had removed up to each side where hinges would come back out to the front of the oven. Placed screws / bolts one at a time through oven door frame into the hinge on the back side, and then threaded them into the hinges and tightened. Replaced oven door onto new hinges and checked for correct operation. Door works like new.

First, my wife and I pulled out the oven from wall to disconnect electric plug and, also with a wrench; I shut off the gas connection on the wall. I then removed front door of the oven by pulling up on door to have easy access to lower part of oven, and then removed pan to get to Igniter. Removed the three screws on cage that supported the Igniter and, I also had to remove several screws to the manifold and bottom pan that supports the manifold so that I could disconnect Igniter. I then was able to pull out old Igniter and, reconnect the new one. After that, I reinstalled everything in reverse. Before pushing oven back into wall; we made sure the new igniter worked. It worked just great. My wife and I were so happy and proud that we done it our self, and not have to call someone to do it for us. It took me and, my wife about an hour and a half to complete the job. I believe the reason it took us as long as it did was because we really didn't know what to expect. Now that we know; I am sure that we could do it again in 30 to 45 minutes. Dave & Marsha; 8/23/2013

Roommate did the repair..so I don't know. I did the research online, the igniter solved the problem. Saved us buying a new oven!

Removed the burners 2 screws per burner disconnected the wires to the burners. Lifted the oven top off removed original ignition module. Installed wires to the new module taking note of replacement location. Than mounted new ignition module. Tha only hiccup was dropping 1 screw down into the stove lining found replacement screw and installed module. Cleaned and replaced top. Mounted burners and the stove is working like new. Project proved to be quite simple and guick. Thanks to partselect for there prompt delivery and other peoples input on install made it quite easy and simple,

Ordered hinge, went to Sears bought some tools to finish manufacturing the hinge, tapped out the screw hole, installed the hinge.

I used the instructions that were online at the PartSelect website. Perfect instructions. It took longer to clean the unit than installing the new paart.The instructions that came with the part were not that useful.Thanks to PartSelect, my wife is now happy.
