Questions & Answers

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

1 Answer

Dan, as igniters can have different operational specs, we would only be able to recommend using the specific igniter suggested by the manufacturer.

Josh, this could be caused by a failed temperature sensor or control if the appliance is control board operated. The oven sensor would need to be tested for resistance and should measure around 1100 Ohms at room temperature. If there is not a broken wire and the sensor tests good, the control would be the likely cause of failure if 120VAC does not reach the igniters when checked with a meter during a cooking cycle.

Macado, Yes, the valve could be the issue. You can test at the oven safety valve for between 2.6 vac and 3.0 vac and if there is proper power but no gas coming through then replace the valve.

Patricia, You will want to access the oven safety valve and test across the 2 terminals for voltage. There should be between 3.2 and 3.6 Vac. If there is not the proper voltage then the igniter will be the issue and if there is proper voltage then the valve will be the issue.

Aaron Sullivan for Model Number jgbp28sek3ss

Broiler does not turn on. I believe its the ignition and the part your selling looks just like the one in my oven. Part number AP2014008. But it says it doesn't work with my model. When I put my model number into the google search it took me to your page. I clicked on the part and then typed the model number into the compatibility tool at the bottom of the page and it says it not compatible with my model. If this is true do you have anything that is? any information you have would be hugely appreciated as it can save me a bunch of money. Thanks in advance.

Hello Mark, The oven sensor WB21X5301 should read about 1090 ohms at about 77°F. You may need to set the test meter to a 200-ohm scale unless it is an auto-ranging model. This would be the first suspect since the control will never send the second 120Vac leg of voltage to the element until the temperature sensor tells the control that the temperature in the bake temperature requires more heat.

Charlotte for Model Number JGBP30WEA6WW

I recently purchased and started to install this GE oven igniter on my GE XL44 oven. I'm replacing the lower oven burner igniter (not broiler). I found that the ceramic nuts included fell off easily and now I have exposed wires in my oven. Do you have any tips for how to ensure ceramic nuts stay tightly on wires? Additionally, I think this problem is worsened because the wire I'm dealing with (igniter to safety valve) is quite taut, not quite long enough. Would it be safe to create some slack by adding a length of wire from my old igniter using a 2nd ceramic nut (for awg 18 from hardware store)? e.g. ignitor----wire----nut----wire----nut----valve (if that helps illustrate) Thanks for any guidance!

1 Answer

Charlotte, when installing the ceramic nuts, the bare wires would need to stay in line (do not twist the wires together before installing the ceramic nut) with each other while firmly pressing into the ceramic nut. While twisting the ceramic nut, the wires will need to maintain the firm press and alignment. When the wire nut starts getting to where it is snug, it has reached the optimal point of holding the wires without damaging them.
