Ge WB1X1293 Igniter Mounting Screw OEM Part

I was getting really frustrated with our oven. It would preheat to the correct temperature, then slowly lose heat until it was down to about 200 degrees. So it took about two hours to heat a pizza! Finally decided to repair the oven myself, rather than pay $300.00 to have a repair person come out. Ordered the replacement igniter from AppliancePartsPros.com, and it arrived in two days. I followed the instructional video on the AppliancePartsPros.com website, and it was going well until I took the bottom cover off of the oven. There was the igniter, but there was a non-removable shelf underneath, which prevented me from getting to the connection. So I moved the stove away from the wall and found that the back panel was a one-piece, held in place by about 30 screws. At this point, I figured that the manufacturer was not going to make it that difficult to replace the igniter, so I pulled the food warmer drawer all the way out, and there it was - the wiring connection! From there on, it was a piece of cake (pun intended). The wiring connection was a perfect fit (Thank you, AppliancePartsPros.com!), even though I had to lie on the floor to access it, and the new igniter was easy to screw into place. I replaced the bottom cover and tried the oven. The temperature held for the first time in ages! We celebrated the return of our oven by baking brownies. And they cooked in the correct amount of time - no more liquid brownies! Thank you, AppliancePartsPros.com, for your quick service and excellent price, and thank you for the instructional video, even though it wasn't completely applicable to my particular oven. The video got me started in the right direction and assured me that this was a job I could accomplish.

Ordered a new ignighter. Watched video on how to replace ignighter. Succes!

Screws on igniter mount were stripped, I cut and drilled them but destroyed the bake assembly tube in the process. I ordered igniter, bake assembly L shaped tube, and 2 screws from Appliance pros. Once I received the parts, the fix took less than 10 minutes. Parts were perfect. Was challenging because of the stripped screws, I recommend removing the entire bake assembly L shaped tube before attempting to unscrew the igniter from its mounts, you may not strip them that way. Other than stripped screws it was an easy fix.

I began by replacing the ignitor which went well until the end because the igniter screws were stripped when I initially removed the igniter. Therefore the igniter would not stay in place correctly. As I had the oven disassembled I decided to replace the burner as well to help avoid any future issues with the setup. Due to the videos provided by Appliance Parts Pros, I was able to successfully replace the igniter and the burner. Now the oven is working perfectly again and I saved a ton of money doing the very easy repair on my own. Couldn't have done it without Appliance Parts Pros. I will definitely order from them again in the future!

Removed oven door, racks, interior bottom cover and burner shield. Igniter held in place with two screws (#8 sheet metal screws in my case, not the #8 machine screws sold for this purpose). Pulled oven away from wall and removed cover on lower back to disconnect igniter wiring. Removed old igniter pulling wiring through from back. Pushed new igniter wiring through to back and reconnected igniter. Replaced rear panel, remounted igniter using one old screw from original installation and one #10 self-tapping screw (one screw and hole damaged on removal). Tested, then replaced burner shield, interior bottom cover, oven door and racks, and pushed oven back into place.
