Roger F for Model Number jgrs06 bejibb my broiler will not light the burner. I think when broiler is called upon to work, the ignitor should start, then the burner should get gas to burn. The igniter never sparks. I think the ignitor musy be faulty. Would I need to pull the oven out of the cabinet to relace the igniter. Old igniter will not pull out far enough to expose any plug on the wires. Thanks for your help.
Answer Roger, You're on the right track, You most likely have a weak or inoperable oven burner igniter WB2X9154. The oven igniter does not spark, it glows. You normally do not have to remove the oven from the wall, but you do need to turn the power and the gas off to the oven, when you start the repair. Open or remove the oven door and oven racks. Remove the oven bottom panel, and the flame spreader off the burner. program a cycle and temperature and observe the ignitor, it should start to glow within a few seconds, and the burner should ignite in 30 to 60 seconds after the glow begins. You can also check for a 2.5 to 3.0 amp draw in the electrical wires at the igniter, if you have a meter.To replace the igniter, it's just a matter of removing the screws holding the igniter to the burner and the screws holding the "cover/bracket" on the rear wall of the cavity, to access and remove the wire nuts.
