Product Description

Round Carborundum Oven Igniter Specifications

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.

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.

Oven wouldn't heat.
Oven is gas. Burners on top OK, broiler in oven OK. Removed oven bottom plate and heat deflector. Carborundum igniter would not glow. Ordered new igniter from Partselect.com. With new igniter in hand I unplugged the oven from house power, removed the bottom drawer for access to the igniter connector, and disconnected it. Removed the bad igniter and replaced with new igniter...easy! Plugged in oven to house power and tested new igniter by turning on oven. GOOD!! Reassemmbled oven interior. Wife again happy.

The ignitor, for the baking unit, went out on my oven
Had to remove the bottom oven shelf and the broiler drawer. Disconnected the wiring pigtail theought the broiler opening and pulled the gas pipe from the baking oven. Reomved the two screws connecting the ignitor from the pipe. Connected the new ignitor and threaded the wiring pigtail back down the the opening in the baking oven. Connected the wiring harness up inside the broiler and put the drawer back in. Re-installed the bottom shelf in the baking oven and tested. Worked perfectly. Back to cooking. :-)

Oven wouldn't heat
I read some of question & answer to the problem I was having with the oven. When I saw do-it-yourself that all I need to know. Repair man quote me for 100.00 dollar he will do it plus part. So I save 100.00 dollar and done it myself. Thank to partselect for fast and quick delivery service. It was only 2 screws holding the element and the connector was a just plug it into the other plug very easy to do. I will always come back partselect for answer and help and buy the part from them.

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. I then removed the oven racks and the 2 shields which cover the ignitor with a screw driver. I then removed & unplugged the ignitor and 2 screws holding the ignitor in place. This all took about 15 minutes. I then reversed the process and installed and assembled the oven. It only took about 25 min in total time and low and behold the oven worked again. Amazing the technology stuff. My wife things I am a genius...again. Not!!!

Oven Wouldn't Heat; Broiler Worked Fine
We removed with a screwdriver the two main screws that held the bottom of the oven in place and removed the bottom oven piece; then we removed the two nuts with a socket wrench that held the element in place. We then discovered that the element wire did not completely egress to the point of being able to disconnect from within the oven, so we removed the storage drawer below the oven and that provided access to disconnect the element wire and reconnect the new element wire and then reverse the steps to install the new element, which worked fine upon first use and continues to work fine.

Galen
January 11, 2018
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
PartSelect logo
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
PartSelect logo
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
PartSelect logo
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.
