How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2014008 / WB2X9154 Gas Range Oven Igniter

Replace the oven igniter. Unplugged the oven and shutoff the gas valve. Pulled off the oven door, oven racks and bottom drawer to gain access. Removed two screws holding the bottom panel of the oven down and then a couple more screws to free up the igniter. Disconnected two ceramic wire nuts from underneath and then swapped the igniter. Took about 20 minutes. 

Replaced it with a new one. 

Replaced the igniter. It took a little work, had to pull the oven out of the wall and remove the back. After that it was a piece of cake. Removed the old igniter installed the new igniter, put oven back in the wall. Now its just like a new oven. 

Turns out the igniter was burned out. I removed the door and lower pan of the oven, exposing the burner assembly with the attached igniter. Remove the bottom drawer and disconnect the old igniter wires. I had read previous stories that indicated that the igniter was hard to remove as the screws securing it to the burned assembly were underneath. It definitely seemed hard, but I realized that if you look underneath the oven area from the front (you have to remove the lower oven drawer to expose the wiring anyway) you can remove two screws that release the entire burner assembly, which can then be lifted out away from the oven. After it is out it is easy to remove the old igniter. Cut the custom connectors off from the old igniter near the igniter itself, and attach them to the new igniter using the provided ceramic wire nuts. Then feed the wires through the hole and replace the entire burner assembly, making sure it mates properly with the gas feeder tube, re-attaching all the screws you removed to free it. Then reconnect all of the wires below in the drawer space, and test the new igniter. When done replace the lower pan, drawer and door and you re done. 

I replaced the Round Style Oven Igniter on my GE XL44. Matt's replacement video featured a newer style oven and I found there to be no access panel in the back of my model. I had to access the old igniter through the inside of the stove. It was not so simple of a task due to the location of the screws. It is a small job, but an awkward one for my specific model. Once the new part was installed, the oven fired up as expected. 

I REPLACED IT 

Replaced the part. It took about an hour as the old igniter was difficult to remove. Would have taken 20 minutes if the old part wasn't in a very difficult position to remove the screws. 

Replaced the igniter and the timer, electronics board Timer was easy, about 20 min. The igniter was a thrash. The nuts that anchor the igniter to the flame tube (?) were at an odd angle under the mounting. I had to use a combination of 1/4 " ratchet and simple box wrenches to remove them. And that was after having to dis-assemble the floor of the oven to get any clearance to work. the simple, nearly flat box wrench worked the best. A stubby version would have been even better. Still.... saved about $300 doing the job myself and the oven works like a charm. 

Used a tester to check the continuity of the igniter, found it bad. Went to your site on my iPad . Found the part I needed along with instructions on replacement and suggestions from others that had similar problems. Received the new parts in 3 days, along with easy to follow instructions on assembling it. Found that dealing with your company was one of the most gratifying transactions I have had in a long time. Thank You!
