The flat style oven igniter is also known as a range oven igniter. The function of this part is to glow extremely hot in order to ignite the gas for the oven burner. With this flat style oven igniter, you must reuse the original bracket from your original igniter. Be very careful during installation to not touch the black element part of the flat style oven igniter as it is very fragile. If your oven does not heat you should check to see if your igniter is glowing. If your igniter is glowing and the oven is not heating there is a chance that the igniter is not strong enough to heat your oven and it will need to be replaced.

Is there a way to test the flat style oven igniter before replacing it? Whirlpool oven does not come on.
For model number SF378PEWN0
Hi Mark, Thank you for the question.The oven igniter should have a resistance reading of 3.2 to 3.6 ohms. If the igniter ohms are good,you can check the resistance of the oven safety valve. The gas valve should have 1.5 ohms of resistance. If the gas valve is good, the oven thermostat should be checked,It should read approximately 1080 – 1090 ohms at room temperature.The igniter requires 120vac to operate. If all other parts check out but the igniter is not getting 120vac you may need to replace the control board. Hope this helps!

igniter glows but fire will not ligth
For model number RWD 212
Hello Rogelio, Thank you for your inquiry. If the igniter is glowing but not lighting the gas, it may not be drawing enough power to light the gas, in which case you should replace it. You can test it with a multimeter. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

igniter glows red/orange the gas tube lights but the oven heats slowly with a smell of gas. All gas connections are tight . Once in a while the oven operates efficiently.
For model number ARGS7650WW
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your question. If you are smelling gas during the pre-heating stage, what you are smelling could be odorant. Odorant is an additive that is added to natural gas and propane and it is normal to smell this when the oven is pre-heating. Depending on how much of the odorant was added to the gas by your supply company, the smell can vary from low to strong. If what you are experiencing is a gas smell, then you may have a weak igniter and it will need to be replaced. If what you are experiencing is a rotten egg smell, then you need to turn the power and gas supply off to the oven, ventilate your home by opening the windows, leave the house and contact the company who supplies your gas. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

What is the size of the wire on the part? I have to replace one of the ceramic wire nuts and i would like to be sure of the wire size. The part that i ordered does not come with replacement ceramic wire nuts.
Hello Erik, Thank you for the question. Very sorry but we do not have the dimensions for the wire. For more specialized assistance or to speak with someone about this, I would suggest calling the manufacturer of the appliance directly. Hope this helps!

Oven wouldn't heat. Glow ignitor was weak and wouldn't ignite flame.
After shutting off the gas and removing the oven door, which simply slid off of the hinges, I removed the oven plate. The ignitor was attached to the manifold. I removed that and noted the wires were attached back behind a hole in the back of the oven. I thought I would have to access them from the back but when I pulled on them I was able to reach them from the front. I was surprised to find plastic lugs covering the wire ends, rather than ceramic. I attached the new ignitor wires and reused the plastic lugs, as no ceramic ones came with the new ignitor. I carefully slid the new ignitor back into the cage/shield attached to the manifold and replaced the manifold. I then turned the gas back on and tested the ignitor (which worked perfectly) before replacing the oven plate. The repair took less than 30 minutes, but my wife and I thoroughly cleaned the door and interior while we had it apart. The hardest part was getting the door back on the hinges, but this too was accomplished after several attempts. The oven heats up beautifully now.

The Amana oven & broiler igniters failed after 7+ years of service
Broiler Igniter:
Disconnected stove from electricity
Removed the two screws that hold the broiler igniter assembly
Loosened screws/nuts that hold the broiler igniter to the brolier mounting bracket
Remove old broiler igniter
Carefully inserted new brolier igniter into the broiler igniter bracket
Place the brolier igniter bracket into position. Make sure you look at the diagram provided so the position is correct. There is a "up" & "down" side to the broiler igniter
Tightened screws & bolts on broiler igniter bracket
Reconnected the ceramic wire nuts
Inserted two mounting screws and tightened
Finished.
Oven Igniter:
Removed oven door
Removed bottom oven drawer
Removed nut that holds heat shield/disperser in place
Oven ignitor stopped working (does this every 6-7 years)
First we removed the oven doors. Then removed the shelf that separates the oven from the broiler, giving us more room to work. At first we thought we needed to loosen the screws around the bracket holding the ignitor, but we realized that the burner needed to be removed. Lifting the burner up from the front gave us the room to pull it gently from the back of the oven wall, giving more room to pull the wires connected to the ignitor from the back of the oven wall out and then disconnecting them. Then carefully pulling the ignitor out of the bracket.
Putting the new ignitor in was easy. Carefully sliding it into the bracket, not touching the ceramic piece, connected the electric wires, pushed the wires back into the hole in the back of the oven. Then placing the burner back into place.
We then turned on the gas and the electricity and the ignitor glowed and the burner lit. PERFECT! In the past we've had a repair man come in and this time we saved $100. Even more perfect.

Oven would not light
After the appliance store told me that the repair would cost about $500 to fix an oven that wouldn't light we didn't have the money to repair it or buy a new one so we went without an oven (only the oven) for almost 1 year. The igniter would glow but the oven would not light. my son found your site online and passed it on to me. It was so simple it's almost funny. I opened the oven door and removed the burner cover. Then reached in and removed the three screws that held the igniter in place. Turned off the gas, disconedted it so I could pull the stove out to get behind it. Found the wires to the igniter and undid the 2 wire nuts. Removed the igniter cover from the old one and slid it onto the new one. Be very careful because the igniter is very delicate and be sure to not toucjh the heating eliment. Slid the new part into place, reinstalled the screws, connected the new wires with the old wire nuts, reconnected the gas and turned on the oven. BAM it worked like a charm.

Oven wouldn't heat up, but everything else worked, broiler and gass range
was so each, we removed the door and the racks. and the bottom drawer out. All we had to do was remove the ignitor that was held in wtih screws we could read the wires from the bottom of the oven and then put the new one in and attached the wires from the bottom. We had read reviews of others that did the same repair and were confident that we could do it because they described it and said it was so easy. Thanks everyone.

switches knobs and igniter replaced
Very easy, I just hope appliance has more life in it to justify repairing it.
Stove would heat up but smelled gassy after cycling
Repair can be done through the oven after removing the dip pan on top of the oven burner. The drip pan slids out - no tools needed. Remove 1 screw that holds the element close to the burner and 2 screws that hold the element cover to the stove. Remove bottom drawer and remove wire nuts from element wires. Reverse the process to install new element. Care must be taken to avoid damage to the element as it can be easily broken. I cut and stripped the wires coming from the stove valve as they were not in good shape after removing the wire nut.

Easy repair and the part works as expected
The part was delivered within 4 days and I was able to fix the oven without calling a technician. I'm sure I saved a couple of hundred for the repair by doing it myself and it was surprisingly simple.

Part has been broken 2 times now
I have received this part broken 2 times now. Subpar packaging however customer service has been wonderful with replacement of the part. Hopefully when I receive my 3rd part it isn’t shattered to bits once again. I’ve been out an oven for over a month now. Not sure if they are cheap china parts or what but it is getting quite frustrating.

The best part of the deal was the help in troubleshooting. I would never have guessed that the igniter was the cause of the gas valve not working. It was, the new igniter came quickly, and now my oven works again.

Fragile igniter, needs better packaging
I was disappointed that the shipping packaging was inadequate and my first igniter arrived broken. This is a fragile product, so it should have been better protected. The cardboard sleeve with cutout was evidently not up to the rigors of the shipping and handling process. Thankfully, PartSelect Customer Service was able to ship me a replacement, but had to process as a new order (kind of surprising in this day & age of computerized records).The second igniter arrived intact and I was able to install it without much difficulty other than the physical contortions of accessing the mounting point in our Caloric oven with broiler. This is the second time I've replaced an igniter in this oven, but that's a lot cheaper than buying a new oven and keeps stuff out of the landfill. I think the previous (identical) one lasted 7 years or so. I miss the simplicity of a pilot light, but I guess it's safer and wastes less gas. I like fixing things, but it reminds me why I'm not a full-time appliance repair person. :-) I greatly appreciate PartSelect--especially when there are helpful videos.

Experiment repair
Unfortunately the new igniter did not work, most likely another issue altogether. Delivery was fast and installation was fairly easy. Unit is 24 years old. Time for a new one!
