Questions & Answers

For Ge Round Style Oven Or Broiler Igniter (Part Number: OEM6042033)

Robert for Model Number JGBP40BEC4WH

Hi. GE XL44. My broiler doesn't light but my oven does. I bought a new igniter from you and installed it. Ohm reading similar between old and new igniters, but I installed it anyway since it was the original and I already had it out. Broiler still doesn't light. oven lights fine, and since my safety valve is dual, it should be good? Also self clean does not light either over or broiler. I made sure the connection was good at the igniter and connector also. Is there a fuse or relay perhaps. I still need to pull the sove back out and measure for voltage TO the igniter. If there is voltage what then, if there is no voltage what then? Stove is about ten years old and wife wants a new double oven. If the repair is expensive I might just cut my losses. Thanks for your help.

Robert, When checking to see if the issue is the power to the igniter then test for 3.2 to 3.6 vac at the oven safety valve. If there is not power there then the igniter is most likely not getting power since new igniter was installed. This would be a control board issue if that is the case. If there is proper power there are the broil is not igniting then the safety valve would be the issue.

Nick, Unless the issue occurs on bake as well then the igniter would not be the issue. This is most likely going to be a faulty control board that is causing this issue.

Jose, You will want to check the oven sensor to make sure that it is good. The resistance of the sensor should be 1090 ohms at room temp. If this does not have the proper resistance then the issue will be the sensor. If the sensor checks ok then the igniter would most likely be the issue.

Gerry, If you are unable to get the igniter off without taking the burner out then you would need to remove the burner as the plate is attached to the burner itself.

Hello Morty, This model does use the same ignitor WB2X9154 for the broil and the bake burners. This part will cause the issue you have described but the sensor WB21X5301 and the control WB27K10143 could also cause this. I would test the sensor for about 1100 ohms of resistance at about 70°F while tapping on it in case the problem is intermittent. If this tests good, the ignitor is next suspect. If it is good also, replace the control WB27K10143.
