Stovey R. for Model Number JGBS04PEW2WH I tried to install this part, but the connector doesn't match the one from my appliance. The oven I'm working on is from the 1990s if that makes a difference. It looks like I have a female end with a female conductor coming from the stove, but the part I ordered has a male end with a female conductor, so even though the pieces fit, the conductors don't. It would be easier to explain with pictures.
Answer Hello Stovey, You should cut off the connectors and use ceramic wire nuts TJMA01164-1 to connect the wires together. You will need to strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from the ends of the wires and hold them beside one another without twisting them together. Let the wire nuts twist the wires or the stainless steel wires will break off. The reason I recommend this is because the manufacturers have determined that the connectors cause as many failures from loss of continuity as are caused by failed ignitors. The ceramic wire nuts eliminate this problem. Do not use any electrical tape on the wire nuts since the heat from the burner will make the whole house stink of burning tape. Read More...
