Samiya November 13, 2013 How I connect the 2 wires from igniter to the wire of the oven? all the videos of replacing the igniter show up a regular oven but mine is a built in oven and has only one wire to connect to the igniter.
1 Answer Hello Samiya. The igniter has to have two wires. However, it could have a braided cover over the 2 wires. You need to see if the cover needs to be cut off to expose the 2 wires. Read More...
1 Answer John, Yes, the 12400035 Igniter kit will work in the ARG7301WW range. It's a very "flexible" igniter kit and will have most if not all parts needed to install and operate properly. Read More...
Marty October 30, 2013 for Model Number nga3j8tk5vw I replaced the oven igniter. Oven will not lite. checked voltage at gas valve and no vac at valve with oven on and igniter bright orange.Checked voltage again with broiler on igniter bright orange and have 3.2 VAC. Can I switch the broiler and oven igniter and should that work...Thanks
1 Answer Hello Marty. Either there is a wiring issue or the igniter in the oven needs to be replaced. Read More...
Lavonnia G September 18, 2013 for Model Number JGBS20BEW2WH I replaced the oven Igniter and now my flame is really high on the igniter...Why? Is it suppose to be that way? Also its been making a loud Blowing noise like a torch would make. What makes it do that? Hope you can help me.
1 Answer Lavonnia, If there is no trouble with the top burners then you will want to check to make sure that the air shutter is in place and make sure that the burner is sitting properly on the orifice. If there is also an issue with the top burners then the regulator would most likely be the cause of the issue. Read More...
Paul August 23, 2013 for Model Number 9475VRV The oven Bake/Broil gas valve is not delivering gas to the Bake burner, however it does deliver gas to the Broiler burner. (Both igniters lighting up individually when select by the control panel selector switch.) My trouble shooting has consisted of: 1. Checking continuity of the gas valve coils. (Good) 2. Checking the voltage on each coil upon demand: (Bake, 4.2 vac: Broil, 5.57 vac), (I do not have access to a clamp-on amp meter.) 3. Checking the resistance of each igniter: (Bake, 279 ohms, Broiler, 104 ohms, a new igniter, never installed, 311 ohms) Since the oven is out of the wall cabinet it is not near a gas source, I attempted to blow air through the system using an adapter fitting with a plastic hose, at the input of the gas regulator to no avail. I have no idea how much pressure is required to operate the gas regulator valve. I definitely want to rule out the Bake/Broiler gas valve if there is nothing wrong with it as it is $200+/+/+. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Paul
1 Answer Paul, The pressure that is required to open the regulator is 3-5 Water column inches for Natural gas and 9-11 WCI for LP. It appears that the ignitors are good and most likely would be a bad safety valve. Read More...
Joe August 17, 2013 for Model Number PGS968BEM/TEM Broiler & oven will not heat reset range stove top burners are operational
1 Answer Joe, At the control board you will want to check voltage to the igniters. You turn the oven to bake and check from Bake to N, this can also be done for the broil when set for broil from Broil to N. If there is not 120 vac present then the control board is faulty. If there is 120 vac then you will wanto to check the igniter to see if faulty. From a cold start, the ignitor needs 30–60 seconds, with a minimum of 116 volts applied, to reduce its electrical resistance enough to provide a minimum of 2.9 amps of current flow in the series circuit.This is the required current flow needed for the safety valve to open and supply gas to the burner. The glowbar should provide a steady current flow of between 3.4 to 3.6 amps in the circuit. At that point the igniter temperature is between 1800 to 2500 degrees F. The igniter will remain energized at all times during burner operation. If the igniter glows red but does not draw at least 2.9 amps, the fault is usually with the ignitor, not the valve.

John July 27, 2013 for Model Number maytag CRG 7500 Hi my two left burners on stove will lite just fine but the two right ones wont at all. Theres no spark on the right ones.
1 Answer Hello John. Turn on the left and see if the right side sparks. If so, the switches WP7403P287-60 are bad and will need to be replaced. If not, you will need to replace the spark module 12001596 on the unit. Read More...
David J July 20, 2013 for Model Number JGW8130ADB I just purchased a flat oven igniter from you. When I unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one, it seems that the wires on the new one are crossed. You can only plug the igniter in one way and the wires seem to go to a different side of the block which holds the ceramic element. Does this matter? The part # is 12400035
1 Answer David, The way that the wires are connected do not make a difference. You just plug it up and attach in position. Read More...
Tammy July 07, 2013 for Model Number Unknown I'm sorry I do not have a mode number. We have a Magic Chef gas wall oven,probably installed when our house was built in 1987-1988. The ignitor needs to be replaced and is a 4 inch flat ceramic ignitor. What part do I need to replace it with?
1 Answer Hello Tammy, Without the model number, there is no way of getting the correct part. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Big Kev June 08, 2013 I recently ordered and installed the AP4012072 Igniter for my Kenmore oven. Initially it worked fine but gave off a strong gas odor. Shortly thereafter, it stopped heating and only glows with a noticeable smell of gas. What could the problem be?
1 Answer Big Kev, A new oven igniter should be producing the 3.2 to 3.6 amps required to open the safety valve, but you may want to recheck the amps with a clamp on ammeter. Check for loose wire connections, check and make sure all the openings in the oven burner are clean and free of debris or clogs, and the igniter is properly aligned to the burner ignition openings on the side of the burner.
