How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP5214765 / MEE61841401 Oven Ignitor

LG LDG4315ST - Lower Oven No heat with error code F19. I removed the lower oven's outer burner cover and began taking off the inner cover. There are (5) screws that secure the inner cover, with one on the bottom middle. You have to lift the assembly to expose the screw, but I wasn't able to unscrew it due to clearance issues. A little side to side rocking and it came out, which exposes the burner and igniter. I depressed the door safety, set the lower oven temperature and hit start, but the original igniter didn't glow and I verified it was the problem. I unplugged the oven and attempted to pull down the igniter's wiring, but was unable to. The igniter's connector was stuck and there didn't seem to be any way to reach it. I removed the larger lower back cover, which exposed the igniter's connector. It was secured by a factory wire tie, which verified my concerns of pulling on it. I unclipped the connector and tried to push the connector past the nozzle/burner assembly, but it was too large to fit through. I removed the nozzle screw that secures the burner to it and returned to the front. I removed the three burner screws and pulled the burner towards me and removed it with the bad igniter. I installed the new igniter and pushed the wiring back through first and lightly secured the burner with 1 screw on the left. I went to the backside and secured the burner to the gas nozzle to test the system. I plugged the oven in, depressed the safety, set the temp, and hit start and the new igniter glowed immediately. I stopped the oven, unplugged it, and began putting everything back together. Overall, not a terrible job. A low-torque electrical screwdriver would make it go faster for the back cover screws. 

We had been having issue's with it not heating up. Some times it would heat up fine, other times real slow, and other times not at all. I went to home depot looking at a new stove when I came across the "Appliance Repair Advice For DIY" Flyer. After getting that advice, I started looking for a replacement Igniter. I did a search for the Igniter, and came across your sight. Liked your rating's and service. Ordered it Monday night and had the part Wednesday afternoon. That is perfect. Had the old one taken out and new one put in in just under an hour. First try heating up, heated up to 175 in 2 minutes. Perfect again! Thanks AppliancePartsPros.com! 

Kept getting an occasional F11 Error, sometimes doing a reboot worked but over time it got worse and worse. Since the reboot no longer worked I surmised it was more likely an igniter than the main control board. So I replace the Igniter.....problem solved! 

Watched this video on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQPyjICB4Ng 

The oven igniter glowed pretty bright orange but the gas would not flow to the burner. The broiler with its igniter operated properly, which eliminated the gas valve as the probable cause, so I ordered the oven igniter. The new igniter glows even brighter orange and allowed the gas to flow and ignite. 

Since the oven would not light but all the burners and broil worked fine, it likely was the oven igniter or the solenoid gas valve. I called LG and asked them specifically what error message F11 meant. They told me F11 meant not getting gas and needed a repair. They were happy to give me the authorized LG Repair services in my area. When I went to the AppliancePartsPros.com website and looked up the igniter, there were several people who said they got the F11 error message and it was the igniter. I removed the sheet metal parts that covered the igniter and tried to start the oven again. The igniter did not heat up and turn orange, so I bought a new igniter and replaced the old one. At 73 and not so nimble, it took me longer than most but it was not difficult. 

After 6 months of waiting for callbacks from repair shops, I investigated the problem myself. The repair seemed to be straight forward the igniter was inoperable. Ordered the part and fortunately, I was correct in my diagnosis and we are back in business. Only took 10min to change out. 

I simply replaced the igniter myself in about 20 minutes. 

Installed the new oven ignitor after watching a few You Tube videos. It was easy except for 1 screw holding the gas burner. I had to use a mirror to see it under the lower heat shield in the rear of the small oven cavity. (I'm not small enough to get inside the oven ;-) ). After installing the ignitor the oven heated up to 350° in about 5 minutes. Happy wife......... well you know the rest! 

Replaced the Oven Ignitor. Removed door, removed racks, removed the bottom plate, removed bake burner, removed and replaced the oven ignitor reassembled.
