Mark November 12, 2019 for Model Number 790.70402012 What is the acceptable amperage draw range for the 5304509706 ignitor?
Don October 03, 2019 for Model Number FFGF3047LSE I wanted to remove oven igniter to check or replace. 2 screws that holds igniter keeps on rotating as threads might have been worn. Should I cut these screws? What size screws should they be?
1 Answer Don, You may want to try sliding a flat blade screwdriver between the igniter bracket and the burner mounting bracket, then back the screws out. If that doesn't work you may need to drill or cut the screws. Also, you may want to replace the mounting screws with a couple of WB1X1293 Igniter Mounting Screw(s), these screws will be "easier" to install and remove in the future. Read More...
Robert April 25, 2019 for Model Number 79071553700 part #316489402, which wire is the ground and which one is hot, top or bottom
1 Answer Robert, the white wire side is going to be neutral and the side that does not have the white wire attached to the heat insulated wire is the hot side. Neither of these wires will go to ground. Read More...

Ronald January 02, 2019 The replacement ignitor my wife ordered doesn't have the metal clips on the ends of the wire, just a short piece sticking out from the coating. Any recommendations?
1 Answer Hello Ronald, You can go to a hardware store and purchase some spade connectors and crimp them on the wires so the ignitor can be connected or you can purchase some small ceramic wire nuts to connect the wires with. Read More...
Pat October 14, 2018 for Model Number FGF348KCH With the oven on 350 it heated to 350 then cycled on and off between 275 &300. Tried 250 similar effect 150-200. Tried 500 heated to 350 and never made its target temp oven burner stayed on the whole time. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Pat, First, I would test the oven temp sensor. At room temp, it should read about 1100 ohms of resistance. It is easiest to test this from the rear of the unit. Read More...
Bob April 09, 2018 for Model Number FFGF3023LBA Oven does not work, Amps on bake ignitor is 3.2A, voltage at the valve is 2.8 V. Amps on broil ignitor is 3.3A, voltage at the valve is 3.1V Not sure what to check next. Ignitor color looks yellowish ?? THANKS
1 Answer Hello Bob. Since the amperage is within range, you will need to order and replace the gas safety valve on the unit. It is bad. Read More...
Bill February 08, 2018 for Model Number FFGF3049LSE I have replaced the igniter, part # 316489402, on my Frigidaire gas oven. I thought for sure that was the problem given descriptions I've read online. The stove top works perfectly fine. All 5 burners work. However, after replacing the igniter, the oven continues to do the same thing: I turn the oven on, set the temp, hear a click...but nothing else. Without ripping things apart again, any thoughts to what the problem could be, and how to test? Thank you!
1 Answer Bill, "Without ripping things apart again" open or remove the broiler drawer, program the oven for a bake cycle and start, in about 20 to 30 seconds you should see an orange glow in the broiler area. If not, you'll need to "rip things apart" then you'll need to recheck the wiring, then check for 120 VAC to the igniter from the EOC/Clock. Power to the igniter is supplied by a relay on the EOC, then from th igniter to the safety valve. Make sure you haven't lost the neutral side of the circuit. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Bill. The model number will have to be verified on the units I.D. tag since the one listed came up invalid. This will be necessary to look up and specific parts such as the one you requested. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
John December 01, 2017 for Model Number 790.72402013 The oven won't light. The igniter glows but the burner will not light. The broiler burner works and the top burners work. Could this be a weak igniter? It is 7 years old.
1 Answer Hello John, If the ignitor 316489403 is glowing orange or red, it should be replaced. If it is glowing yellow to white hot, the gas valve 316404901 would be the more likely cause. Read More...
