Todd May 03, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore gas range 790.78642602 Lp range: Top and Broiler work fine. Oven flame is yellow and flares about 5 inches into the oven area. I have tried replacing the regulator with no change in condition. What could the problem be?
1 Answer Hello Todd. Make sure the Regulator is set to the correct gas type for the unit and the orifice on the unit is clean and not dirty. Read More...
Ken March 10, 2013 for Model Number GLGF388DQF Question. My stove top and broiler works fine. The Ignitor does not glow at all. So I am figuring it is the Ignitor. Is there something else I should look at before I go ahead a purchase a new one. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ken. Test for power coming to the igniter. If there is power there and the igniter does not work, replace the igniter on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
1 Answer Daniels, Apparently you have a Frigidaire gas range, you forgot to attach a model number to your post. So here are the basics : To remove oven door: 1. The oven door is held to the oven door hinges by two screws. (One in each hinge.) 2. To remove the oven door remove the two screws. 3. Close the door to the broil stop position and lift up. Removing oven bottom: 1. Remove the two screws holding rear of the oven bottom to liner tabs and lift the rear of the bottom up and slide it back. Removing bake burner baffle: 1. Using a 3/8” socket remove the nut holding the baffle to the burner. 2. Remove the two screws holding the baffle to the front frame. Removing oven burner igniter: 1. Disconnect electrical power from range. 2. Remove oven bottom and burner baffle. 3. Remove the two screws holding the igniter to the burner. These are basic instructions, and may not be exact to your range, but you'll have a place to start. Read More...
Joe March 03, 2012 Wow that was a fast response, Thanks!!! Sorry for re-asking the same question, but can I not use the Broil's igniter (not the whole Assembly, just the heating part) and use it to replace the Bake's heating element part?
1 Answer Hi Joe. Your model # uses a bake igniter part # 5304534663 and the broil igniter part # 316489401. They both use the same voltage(120vac) and the current draw needed to open the safety valve. There are only a few dollars between the 2-different parts. The difference is that the broil igniter has a totally exposed element as the bake igniter element is not exposed. The way the parts ane mounted and positioned into the flame will not work momentarily placed into one anther's intended position. Thank You. Read More...
Joe March 03, 2012 for Model Number frigidaire fgfL67dcj Are the 2 interchangable on this model? Would I replace just the heating element or the whole assembly with bracket and plastic connector? Thanks and excellent site with video.
1 Answer Joe, you will need to use part number 5304534663 for the oven/bake ignitor and 316489401 for the broil burner ignitor. You will need to replace the parts defective on your appliance. Thanks. Read More...
1 Answer Tonytone, In most cases(99%) Yes the igniters are interchangeable, There are a few ranges that use a different igniter on the broil burner. Had you supplied us a model number of yor range, we could be positive. Give it a try, as long as you don't crack or break the working igniter, you should be fine. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
