This round style gas oven igniter, or also known as a broil or bake igniter, has an amperage range between 2.5 and 3.0. It glows white hot to ignite the gas for the oven. The igniter does this by attracting electrical currents through the safety valve to open it. *Please note: this does not replace the flat style igniters. If your gas igniter does not start, glows but does not light, or produces little to no heat when baking, replacing this part could be the solution to your problem. Refer to the diagram provided by the manufacturer for further instructions and guidance.

Easy to find on website. Picture was very helpful
Clear information on the part. The search system made it easy to find the correct part and to confirm that it was the correct part. It would be helpful to include information indicating that the igniter continues to glow anytime the gas oven burner is burning. I did not know it was to stay on after the burner was lit. I had to call and get clarification about this. It would be helpfu to put this information in the package with the part.
Thank you

gas oven igniter
My husband was out of the country and the oven would not heat up. I checked the manual and the internet and found the problem. PartSelect was easy to determine the part that I needed and I received it in 2 days. I was able to fix the oven by myself with the help of PartSelect and youtube.

Gas oven would not heat - Replaced igniter
This model does not have a removable bottom drawer making access a bit of a challenge. 1. Remove power to the range. 2. Remove the oven door and the kick panel below. 3. Remove the floor of the oven. 4. Remove the burner shield. 5. Become a contortionist, then stick your head and torso in the gas oven. 6. Loo
... Read morek at the top in the back to see how the broiler igniter is mounted. Use this to select the proper size wrench. I suggest using little ignition wrenches. The oven igniter is mounted in the same manner. 7. Locate the oven igniter at the bottom, in the back, at the center. Remove the small screw taking care that you do NOT drop the wrench or the screw. This will be done by feel as the screw is only visible after you remove it. 8. Route the wire of the new igniter down, next to the old igniter wire. 9. Crawl under the oven (behind the kick panel you removed, and cut the wire. 11. While you are under there, strip the insulation back on the wires about 3/8 inch. Splice the new igniter wire to the oven using the new wire nut. Check that it is secure. 12. Back to the oven. If your back is still holding up, remove the old igniter. Install the new igniter and the old screw. Tighten securely, taking care to not strip the threads. 13. Remove all of your tools, your head, and your torso. 14. Plug the oven back in temporarily, turn the oven on and verify the igniter heats up. 15. Unplug the range again. 16. Reinstall the burner shield, the oven bottom, the door and the kick panel. 17. Make sure you have all of your tools, stand up, and since you are now a contortionist, pat yourself on the back!

Lower oven Igniter wouldn't heat up and fire the propane.
Called repair man and described the problem. He said I could do it myself. PartSelect had the part and a previous description on the PartSelect site told me how to do the repair. It was easy. Be careful when removing the igniter nuts. I used a very small amount of sewing machine oil so as not to strip the threads. works great.

The Oven igniter was burned out and needed to be replaced
First I Pulled the oven away from the wall and turned off the gas and unplugged the oven. I then removed the bottom drawer and the oven door to get easy access to the ignitor location.

To light the oven, i push bake, then i push start. It takes too many seconds for it to light. It is not a smooth, quiet ignition like it was when it was new (1996 model). It is a delayed ignition, like it is going to blow up. It scares me every time i light the oven. I know it's going to take a qualified repairman - i think. Is it going to cost too much to get a 20 year old stove repaired, or should i just bite the bullet and purchase a new stove. I am a handyman (farmer). Maybe i can replace the necessary parts.
For model number SF387LEGN
Hi Galen,
Thank you for your question. If the igniter is taking too long to ignite, then you will need to replace the igniter. The part number for the igniter is PS11740875. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to install the igniter. The stove may not show exactly like the one you have, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. You will find the video under part number PS1573892. If you are not comfortable changing the igniter yourself, you will need to get a repairman to replace it. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I’ve troubleshot the oven and believe this is the part that needs to be replaced. Question, my old part was connected using wirenuts and none of the wires have markings. Are there positive/negative wires on this new part? Does the polarity matter for this particular part when connecting to the wires to the control unit?
For model number F8858XO
Hello Paul, thank you for your question. The polarity doesn't matter. When connecting the wires it doesn't matter which wire attaches where. I hope this helps.

Oven heats but does not cook the food thoroughly -temperature fluctuates. Oven is older model. All 4 top burners work great.
what part would best fixed the problem?
Model no SF310BEGW thank you
For model number SF310BEGW
Hello Cece, thank you for contacting us. We would suggest checking the oven igniter, part number PS11740875, with a multimeter for continuity to pinpoint the fault. If the oven igniter is faulty, it may not produce enough heat to ignite the gas, or it may ignite the gas sporadically, leading to fluctuations in the oven temperature. Good luck with this repair.
