Bosch 00755058 Igniter OEM Part

I ordered an igniter, unplugged the stove, and installed the igniter. A couple things about that- the bolts that hold the igniter on are star drive #20's. Once the two bolts are off, you realize there is not enough slack in the two wires going into the back of the stove to get to the connecter. So you have to remove the back of the stove panel to get at the connecter. Look at the new connecter to see how it unsnaps.

Ordered an igniter from AppliancePartsPros.com it came within 2 days. I watched YouTube videos on the repair. They were accurate except for one detail. They did not show you taking the back off of the oven. (They showed you cutting the wires attached to the igniter and attaching to the range wires using ceramic wire nuts and not taking the back off of the oven) The igniter comes with a quick disconnect. You can take the back of range off. To get to the quick disconnect. the back of the range comes off easily 13 screws.

The repair was pretty simple, just involves pulling out the oven, unscrewing some things, and swapping out the igniter. First take the bottom liner out of the oven to expose the igniter and unscrew the 2 screws holding the igniter in. You will likely need some WD-40 or similar to get the screws loose. Once that's done, pull out the oven and remove the screws from the back panel and take the back panel off. With the back panel off, you should be able to see the heat resistant cabling for the igniter coming out of a small box-like cover near the bottom of the back of the oven. There's 1 screw holding the "box" on. Remove the "box" cover and disconnect the connector to the igniter. Thread in the new igniter wire and plug it into the connector. Screw everything back together, push the oven back in, and you're done!

Disconnected igniter test and found bad, ordered new igniter waited 6 days for a new one. After the part was received, it took 42 minutes to pull the stove out and install put stove back in and the test all worked fine.
