Chris J September 11, 2022 for Model Number JGS968BH4BB I recently replaced the igniter in my GE profile gas range. I would like to add a little more insulation to the area where the igniter wires lead to the back of the stove. Can you let me know what the best type of insulation one should use for this? Thank you so much!
Texaspeppers July 13, 2022 for Model Number JGRP20BEJ2BB My igniter burned out, but it also burned the wire from the back of the oven wall beyond the normal connection. I have removed the box and wish to make an extension to reach the new igniter wires. What kind of heat resistant wire should I use?
1 Answer You will want to find a wire rated for at least 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and be sure to match the gauge. Read More...
Tony Jones September 12, 2021 for Model Number PGS975SEM1SS When the oven is turned on it doesn't lite at first and then I hear a "puff" sound and then it lites. I have already replaced the temperature sensor.
1 Answer Tony, It would be recommended to test at the oven safety valve for 3.2 to 3.6 Vac. If there is improper voltage then this could cause the valve to open but the igniter may not be getting to the proper level to light immediately. This would require a new igniter if that is the case.

Jim April 24, 2020 for Model Number GE WB13T10045 Oven Igniter Received my igniter and noticed that it didn’t have the insulation sleeves as the old part on the wires. Will this cause a problem or premature failure.
1 Answer Hello Jim. According to the part number you provided there are the insulation sleeves on the ignitor's wires. On some ignitors without the plug, the ones that you'll need to splice in, the sleeves are not included. They can be used like that.Thank you. Read More...
Sb June 15, 2019 for Model Number JGS968SH3SS I got a replacement ignitor the instructions say that it is for ovens with 3 amp rating. the info on the plate in this ovens says 5 amp. Can I use the 3 amp replacement in this oven?
1 Answer Hello Sb, the manufacturer list part number WB13T10045 as the correct oven igniter. If you ordered that part, then the igniter should be compatible with your unit. Thanks! Read More...
Justme123 February 15, 2019 for Model Number JGS905TEK1WW Hi, I am trying to replace the bake igniter on my GE JGS905TEK1WW range. The problem I'm having is not with the igniter but with the plastic socket (receptacle) into which the igniter plug inserts at the back of the oven. This socket is cracked and I cannot plug in the igniter even though the plug on the igniter itself is in perfect condition. I know I could cut wires and use wire nuts to connect the igniter, but I was wondering if the wire harness at the back of the oven that connects to the igniter is available for purchase? If so, could you provide me a part number or link? Thank you!
1 Answer JustMe123, sadly there is not a main wire harness listed for this unit in the manufacturers parts listing, therefor we could not recommend a part number. Read More...
Elijah February 13, 2019 I have an old magic chef oven with a norton 501A igniter. I am able to unbolt the igniter assebly but the pigtail/connector assembly will not pull through the hole. Will I have to disconnect the pigtail assembly from the rear of the oven??
1 Answer Elijah, if the pigtail connector is not pulling through, it may be hung up on a wire in the back. It would be best to go through the back to ensure that the connector does not become damaged from trying to pull it out. Read More...
Jim Clark November 13, 2018 Hello, I was unscrewing my oven burner baffle, and dropped one small screw. I cannot find it, and i believe it's inside one of the crevices. Should I be concerned for oven fires? Thanks.
I.D. September 28, 2018 I broke the igniter connector. What do I do? I can’t find a new connector anywhere without buying a whole new igniter.
1 Answer Hello I.D., You should purchase a couple of ceramic wire nuts to connect the ignitor to the harness. These can normally be located at a hardware store. Read More...
