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.

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.

Oven repair
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.

Broiler inoperative
For the third time in less than a year I had to replace the broiler igniter. The range is 27 years old and has given us excellent service. When the igniter failed it's replacement lasted 3 months. The next replacement lasted about 6 months. This last replacement has been in service about 1 week. We shall see. The last one had an open wire

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
... Read more 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 does not heat
Daughter and family came to visit Gramps for the weekend; Saturday morning, arose and opened a couple of cans of grand buscuits. Set aside to let rise then turned oven on to preheat. Came back later and oven did not work. Stove top worked, broiler worked, but no oven. What to do, didn't want to waste dough; perhaps salvage for dumplings,
... Read more no; make poorboy doughnuts, no; Aha, lets use the outside gas grill, never done it, worth the try, remember old camping days except using gas. Worked like a charm, crisis over. Now back to oven. Since everything worked except the oven burner problem could be in the igniter, or oven control. Removed covers to burner assembly, pulled igniter, checked for continuity across the two leads. No go. Wait, need to check oven control, placed voltmeter across incomming leads, turned oven controls on and had voltage. Conclusion, igniter bad. Also noticed a small rust hole in the burner tube next to igniter, not good. Went on-line to PartsSelect, entered make and model number. No model but gave choice close to model. Viewed pictures, found one that came close. Placed order. Parts came in a very short time. Matched new parts to old. perfect. Removed burner tube and installed new one, one screw, simple. Wire nut the incomming leads to igniter and install, three screws, simple. Turned oven on, igniter glows bright, gas comes on, good blue flame, no need to adjust air inlet vents on burner tube. Turned off oven, replaced covers, then turned on oven, baked cornbread and enjoyed. Thanks, back in business. Dave

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!

Hello Dave, Thank you for your inquiry. This is one of the parts it could be, I would also check the gas valve, the electric control and the temperature sensor. I have included a link to a video on troubleshooting this symptom. 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!
