Customer Repair Stories

The igniter would turn orange but wouldn't fire up, so the oven wouldn't heat up.

I just unscrewed the old one out, which was 2 screws and screwed this one in. But the thing that was best of all was how fast the part came in. It literally came the next day.

our oven would not heat up

My husband pulled out the stove turned the gas off then he pulled out the part and replaced igniter....it took only about 20 min to do this job it was very easy and prior to us doing ourselves i called a well known company that does home repairs, I also called a few smaller businesses and to replace this part was anywhere from $175- 250 if not more. we are very very happy with our decision to replace the part ourselves unstead of spending extra money we didnt have .

This part makes sure that no gas is released until the igniter gets enough power to ignite the gas range.
