How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2014008 / WB2X9154 Round Style Oven Or Broiler Igniter

Replaced the igniter Remove the door and drawer. Your going to need to work under the oven so get a flashlight and look at the layout before you start removing stuff. Be careful with the parts some are sharp and so is the broiler spreader inside. Unplug the unit or switch off the breaker. You would be surprised the damage you can do to controls by working live, even with low voltage. 1 Remove the Bottom plate (2 screws), be sure to re align the threaded clips this will make replaceing the plate when your done so much easier. Of course you could ignore them like I did the first time and have to take the plate back out and line them up. 2. Disconnect the high heat bug nuts underneath. They are stuffed into a little round hole at the back of the unit. Clip and re strip the ends, because you'll want to start fresh as this is a stranded wire. 3. I loosened the burner tube so I could get a spin tight on the clamp that holds the igniter to the tube. (1 screw in the front) (2 screws at the back 1 you remove from the top the other from the bottom) You should probably use a small wrench or socket set if you don't want to remove the tube. I was using a ten in one and didn't feel like heading out to the garage. 4. Replace the igniter 5. Secure the burner tub and thread the wire down the same way you removed it. (These tips were already stripped if I remember correctly) 6. Using the new supplied high heat nuts attach the new igniter and push the wires back into the hole. Make sure the burner tube is seated the way it was before. 7. Replace the bottom plate, the door and the draw. 8. Re power and pre heat the oven to 350 or so to get rid if that new metal smell. 

It's the same with most any projects that you forecast will be a breeze but once you get in there it's seems to be more that anticipated. The concept of the job itself was easy enough but more things to remove than expected on this model oven. As you go just make sure all the screws are kept in separate piles and the specific panels need to go back the way they came off. This oven is an older model so through the years heat distorted the panels right under the burner and when putting it all back together is was kind of a bear cat getting holes to line up. There were times when it would have been nice to have another person holding things in place while you got the screws to take hold and screw them in. And when everything comes apart don't forget about the mess you're going to have ( years of black oven crap) so have a broom and dust pan ready to keep the work area clean because you're going to be lying down in it. Biggest thing is just make sure to put all the pieces back the way they came out and don't forget anything or you'll be going back. I took the time to clean all the five panels since it was all apart too so if you're going to keep things neat and clean this task will take a little more time. It's not a difficult job though and it was actually kind of fun to do if the dog can stay out of your way and not under your feet. If you did this all the time it is a very simple job but don't take short cuts. Make sure the gas is off even if they say it's not necessary and be sure to use electrical tape around your new wire nuts. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 

I wasn't exactly sure what the problem was with our GE oven not working. My wife had bought groceries to make a special dish for New Year's Eve and so she wasn't exactly happy that the oven had died. I started searching the Internet and found a few resources. Then I found AppliancePartsPros.com and I'm so thankful I did. The page for my particular oven had all the parts of the oven, helpful comments from others, and even a great video from a technician on how to replace the igniter. The comments from others led me to believe the igniter had gone bad. So I watched the video on the exact repair and removed the igniter. It was pretty quick since I have well-rounded DIY skills. (But I was still a little nervous as I am on all home repairs that I haven't done before.) I used my multimeter on the removed igniter and read there was no continuity. I went ahead and ordered the part, which was about $30 cheaper than some other sites, and waited for the part to arrive. Unbelievably, the part arrived the next day. I immediately checked for continuity and there it was, so I knew the igniter was bad for sure. I watched the technician video one more time and then did the replacement. The oven fired right up. It was really cool to have the repair finished in just under 24 hours of ordering the part. Out of almost 45 years of DIY home repairs under my belt (I had a great Dad who taught me all the basics), this was easily the most positive experience I've had with a repair. Plus, my wife was able to bake her special dish that night and I looked like a hero. 

I had to order a new igniter. When searching the internet for the part, AppliancePartsPros.com had one available. Their price was competitive with other online business. They provided fast delivery. Which was great. Wanted to get the oven fixed! Was glad to see new screws can with the igniter. 

Myself easy repair 

Replaced it with a new one 

Got part from appliance pros . Even had simple step by step video on website . Took about 30 minutes. Thank you appliance pros ! Works fine . Made cookies . 

Ordered the correct part that was easily matched against your website make/model/part look up. Got the part delivered by regular ground FedEx in LESS than 1 day!! Because my oven model, GE, gas Hotpoint stove was a little older than the video your website showed, my repair was a little more labor intensive, so it took a few hours to get all screws, back cover of stove, stove floor/flame baffel out and getting to the two screws at the ignitor was a little difficult..but only because of the factory angle. The part worked very nicely, immediately. Very, very satisfied w/the original part and service w/AppliancePartsPros.com. The phone person had very good customer service and answered all my questions, concerns. Would do business with them again! 

Replaced the igniter and bake burner. 

With my model you can not get to the screws to replace the ignitor without removing the burner completely. This task is done easily by first unplugging the oven and shutting off the gas. Once you've done this, slide the bottom draw out completely and you will be able to access the screws for the burner. You'll remove the two screws that hold the burner against the back wall of the oven. After removing the screws the burner can be easily be lifted straight up, since it floats on top of the gas line parts. This will nowhere enable you to unscrew the old ignitor, detach the connectors, and attach your replacement. This saved me a couple hundred dollars by just doing it myself.
