T January 02, 2020 for Model Number SF378LEPS Can you refer me to a video that demonstrates how to replace an ignitor that's part of the stovetop? On my model I can't remove the burner as shown here to remove/replace the ignitor. Rather, I will have to remove and lift the top off
1 Answer T., Unfortunately, we are not showing a video for this specific model to remove the main top but it will not be difficult. If you remove the burner grates, the caps and there will be screws holding the burner heads in place. Once these are removed it would be as simple as just pulling up on the main top. Some models will have spring clips between the main top and the front panel so you may need to depress these to lift the top. Read More...
Ken May 04, 2018 for Model Number jenn-Air /Maytag #JGS8860BDP Range /Oven The screws which cover the burner housing (need to remove to access the electrode) are apparently corroded and I can't release them from housing. Any suggestions? I don't want to strip the screw heads. Thanks .
1 Answer Ken, In order to get the screws out, if they are corroded then you may have to drill them out and the screws to replace them would be part number W11772394. Read More...
Dale W December 29, 2017 for Model Number MGR6775BDS Gas comes on but no ignition, only when i"m turn other burners on to ignite. The RH top burner will not ignite from turning on the knob only when i turn one of the other burner igniters on. I get gas but no ignition. I just Order a Surface Burner Spark Electrode will that take care of my problem?
1 Answer Dale, If the burner will ignite by turning on another burner then the ignition switch would be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
Tom October 10, 2015 for Model Number GS470LEMT1 I am having a hard time changing the ignitors. I figured out that I needed to remove the burners after lifting the range top. I don't think I bent any tubes. I then disconnected the burners but could not unscrew the ignitor from the bottom. Do I need to start disconnecting the gas tubes to each burner? If so, how do I check for a gas leak later? I would have assumed the gas stops earlier on at the knob. Do I need to use a special Teflon-style tape for gas when I reattach the tube? What risk is there for me blowing up my house if I do this wrong? On two of my burners, one of the two bolts broke in half, leaving the second half stuck inside the burner. Do I need or should I to get two more burners to replace them? Right now, they are only fixed by one bolt each.
1 Answer Hello Tom, Whenever you look for a leak you use a lightly soapy water solution, (one teaspoon of liquid detergent to one quart of water). The ignitor is WP8523793. The burner will not have to be replaced unless there is an issue with it. There is a very low chance of an explosion and you are correct that the gas is turned off by the gas valves. You should use Teflon tape designed for gas applications on any gas connections. This is commonly yellow in color but the label will state its' use is intended for gas. You can also use the putty or "pipe dope" which is like a paste that is brushed onto the threads. Read More...
Jesse March 19, 2015 for Model Number 79031069100 Will ignitor AP3175721 replace the one that is part of burner orifice holder 31644102 in my Kenmore Elite gas range model 79031069100?
1 Answer Hello Jesse! Unfortunately, the burner igniter is not available separate from the igniter/orifice tube assemblies listed for your model. For the left rear assy use part number 318924705, left center assy use part number 318924706, left front assy use part number 318924704, center assy use part number 316540700, right front assy use part number 316540700, and right rear assy use part number 316540800. Thanks! Read More...
James March 05, 2015 for Model Number Jenn Air Does Surface Burner Spark Electrode Part Number AP3175721 come with the wire? If not how would I order that?
1 Answer Hello James, You would need to put the units' model number from the I.D. tag into our site and look up the part number by the model number. This is the only way to get the correct part for your unit. I'm sorry but without the units' model number, there is no way to look up the correct part number. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Cold Supper October 24, 2014 for Model Number SF368LEPS2 All ignitors fire, but right front spark seems to come from about halfway down the insulator and arcs to the cooktop. Way too low to ignite the gas.
1 Answer Cold Supper, If you look closely you'll probably find that the insulator is cracked or chipped and allowing the arc to jump to the cooktop. It'll need to be replaced. Basically, remove power to the range, and turn off the gas supply at the wall. Remove everything from the cooktop surface grates, caps, and burner bases(2 screws each) and carefully raise the cooktop. Carefully disconnect the burner base from the gas supply tube, flip the base over and change the ignitor. Be careful, you don't want to crack or kink the gas supply tube and the brass fittings are very soft and easily cross threaded and leak. Make sure you check for a gas leak before you reconstruct the range. Read More...
Jeff September 28, 2014 for Model Number SF357BEHW7 All the igniters work but don't light two of the burners. I can use a match to light the burners and everything works fine. When watching the electrode, it sparks to the side and not the top of the burner. How do I remedy this?
1 Answer Hello Jeff, You should use hot white vinegar and an old toothbrush to clean away any spill residue. Then make the area shiny where the ignitor should spark to. This is difficult since scraping the burner will remove metal and you do not want to re-shape the burner, only provide a clean spot for the spark to ground electrically. If this doesn't correct the issue, peel the plastic or paper coating from a bread tie and use it in the gas orifice to clear it completely since even something as insignificant as a spider web can affect the gas flow.

Jamiel December 02, 2013 for Model Number 66575849003 I cleaned my range and now the stove will not light. I got spark but no gas and the oven work fine.
1 Answer Hello Jamiel. Make sure the unit is not wet where you cleaned it. Also, make sure the orifices are not clogged from cleaning the unit. Read More...
J December 02, 2013 for Model Number 75849003 I have a gas range and I cleaned the range. Now the oven works and the stove doesn't
1 Answer J, We wouldn't expect the igniter electrodes to be the issue at this point, You will want or need to check to see if you got water in the igniter switches and caused a short. or water in the spark module and shorted it as well. Read More...
