You can do it for a fraction of the cost of a new appliance or even a professional repair, and you don\u2019t have to go it alone! AppliancePartsPros.com is here to help with another great video guide and companion tutorial.\r\n\r\nKeep reading to learn how to replace your oven\u2019s igniter.\r\n\r\n[lwptoc numeration=\"none\"]\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-kyt5m0vi' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<div style=\"border-left:4px solid #E89805;background:#FFF8EC;padding:9px 14px;margin:14px 0;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.5;color:#1A1A1A;font-family:system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif\">\u26a0\ufe0f <b>Smell gas?<\/b> Stop \u2014 get outside, then call your gas utility (or 911) from there. <a href=\"#app-safety-notes\">Full safety notes below<\/a>.<\/div>\n\n<h2>Signs That An Oven Ignitor Has Gone Bad<\/h2>\r\nIf your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/gas-range-wont-start-top-5-reasons-and-fixes-with-video\/\">oven isn\u2019t heating up<\/a>, or if it\u2019s taking an unusually long time to heat up, there\u2019s a good chance the oven ignitor is to blame. A gas oven should take 10 to 15 minutes to reach 350 degrees, so if it\u2019s taking a lot longer to get there, you might be having oven trouble. The quickest way to check to see if the issue is your ignitor is by turning your oven on, opening the broiler drawer, and watching the component. The heating element on the ignitor should turn white hot. If it\u2019s not glowing at all, or if it only ever reaches a red or yellow color, then the heating element is bad. Even if it\u2019s lighting up a little, it won\u2019t get hot enough to fully activate the safety valve, and gas won\u2019t be released into the oven for ignition.\r\n<h3>What about gas smells?<\/h3>\r\nA bad oven ignitor could also be causing your oven to smell like gas. A little bit of that natural gas smell isn\u2019t unusual when you turn your oven on, but if it is particularly strong, or if it lingers, that\u2019s a bad sign. If an ignitor\u2019s heating element is going bad, it probably isn\u2019t getting hot enough to light the gas. If you\u2019re smelling gas and you think the ignitor may be to blame, you can test the ignitor with a multimeter to verify that this is the problem part. However, <b>if you suspect that there is a serious gas leak<\/b>, you need to shut off the gas in your home, call the utility company, and leave your house immediately. Staying in a home with a gas leak can be dangerous.\r\n<h2>Finding The Right Replacement Part<\/h2>\r\nOven ignitors come in a couple of different styles, so it\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re getting a compatible part. Start with your appliance\u2019s model number. If you don\u2019t have the manual, you can find it printed on a label on your oven or in the appliance model diagram on AppliancePartsPros.com.\r\n\r\nCheck the following places:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Open the oven door and check around the frame.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Open the broiler or range drawer and check along the sides or on the inside of the door, itself.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Lift the cooktop and check beneath that.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Check the exterior of the stove, it could be on the sides or back, behind the main control panel.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOnce you have the model number, search below to find the right part on AppliancePartsPros.com. You\u2019ll be able to buy a genuine OEM replacement part and have it shipped to you in just a few days! Our product listings also feature manufacturer diagrams and FAQs and tips from do-it-yourselfers just like you.\r\n<h2>How To Replace An Oven Ignitor<\/h2>\r\nWe completed our tutorial on a Whirlpool oven. Since oven ignitors generally only come in two or three styles and are generally found in the same place in any oven, you should still be able to use our guide, even if you have a different brand or model of appliance. Don\u2019t forget to check out our video walkthrough for an indepth look at each step! If our guide isn\u2019t lining up with your appliance, you can consult the diagrams in your oven\u2019s manual to see where a particular component should be.\r\n<h3>Tools for the Job<\/h3>\r\nThis is a quick and easy job, and you\u2019ll only need a few\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">A compatible OEM oven ignitor<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Phillips &amp; flathead screwdrivers<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Nut driver<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Work gloves<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">See Step 7 below. If this applies, you may need the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">Two wire nuts<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">A pair of wire cutters<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Before You Begin<\/h3>\r\nBefore starting any repairs, <b>make sure that your appliance is unpowered<\/b> either at the wall outlet or circuit breaker, make absolutely sure to <b>turn the gas valve off<\/b>, and don\u2019t begin work until the appliance is completely cool. You should never work on an appliance that is still receiving power, especially when you\u2019re working with the wiring.\r\n\r\nFor this job, you may need access to the back of the stove. Before pulling your oven away from the wall, though, you may want to check to see if you can disconnect the oven igniter\u2019s wire harness from inside the oven (check steps three through six below for instructions on how to access the ignitor).\r\nIf the ignitor\u2019s wire is long enough to pull into the oven, this will save you from having to pull your oven away from the wall. However, if you can\u2019t get the harness into the oven, either because the wires are not long enough or the harness is too big, you will need to get at the rear access panel.\r\n<h3>Replacing an Oven Ignitor<\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>If you can\u2019t disconnect your wire harness from inside the oven, remove the access panel on the back of the stove.<\/b> It is held in by four screws, and should come away easily once they are removed.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disconnect the ignitor from its wire harness.<\/b> You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to release the two halves of the wire harness. Feed the side of the plug that\u2019s coming through the oven into the oven now so that you\u2019ll have an easier time removing it later.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time to move to the front of the oven.<\/b> Open the oven door and remove the racks and anything else that may be inside the oven.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the bottom oven panel.<\/b> This may or may not be held in place by screws or a nut. Once that mounting hardware is out, lift the bottom panel up slightly and slide it toward the rear of the oven interior to free it from any tabs. After that, you should be able to lift it out.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the flame spreader. <\/b>This is a metal shield that you\u2019ll find directly beneath the bottom panel. It will be held in place by a few screws. Once those are out, slide the flame spreader forward to remove it from its seating tabs and then lift it up.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the hardware securing the ignitor.<\/b> Depending on your oven, the ignitor may be held in place by nuts, Phillips or flathead screws. On the Whirlpool oven we worked on, the ignitor was held in place by 5\/16 nuts.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the old ignitor and compare it to your new ignitor. <\/b>There\u2019s a chance these two parts won\u2019t look exactly the same. In an effort to ensure compatibility with as many models as possible, OEM replacement oven ignitors often come without a wire harness. If this is the case with your replacement part, don\u2019t panic! Here\u2019s what to do:\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">If your oven igniter ends in a couple of raw wires, it should also come with some wire nuts. If it doesn\u2019t, you will need two to complete this part.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">Cut the plastic connector off the old ignitor, giving yourself a few inches of spare wire.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">Strip the wires on the connector from the old ignitor.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">Use those wire nuts to attach the connector to the new ignitor\u2019s wires.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pre-thread the screws into the new ignitor and put the ignitor into place. <\/b>Once you\u2019ve reinstalled your mounting hardware, check and see if the wires have enough slack that you can reconnect the ignitor to the safety valve. If you can, do so now and then feed the wires all through the rear opening. If you can\u2019t connect the wires from within the oven, just feed the ignitor\u2019s wires through the rear opening for now.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Replace the flame spreader<\/b>, making sure each tab is properly seated before screwing it back into place.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Put the oven floor panel back into place.<\/b> You may have to seat the front lip first before lowering the back portion onto the tabs. Don\u2019t forget to reinstall any securing hardware you may have.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Put the racks back into place<\/b> and shut the oven door.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>If you weren\u2019t able to attach the ignitor\u2019s wires to the safety valve\u2019s wires from within the oven, go back around to the rear access panel<\/b> and attach the two wire harnesses together now.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reinstall the rear access panel<\/b> if you need to, and move the oven back into place.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Restore power to your range, turn the gas valve back on, and take your oven for a test run. <\/b>If it heats up as normal, you\u2019re all done!<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2>Wrapping Up<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need any replacement parts for your appliances, you can enter your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> model number<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> AppliancePartsPros.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to locate and order them quickly.
