Richard G January 15, 2012 for Model Number SF385PEEW burners work fine ,but oven does not lite , can it be the ignitor that is bad.
1 Answer Richard, Yes, it could be an igniter issue, If the igniter is cracked or broken, if it does not draw 2.5 to 3.0 amps when it is glowing, it will not open the safety valve and there will be no ignition or heat in the oven. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Chris January 12, 2012 for Model Number 8053999 The new igniter has different plugs than mine. Which one is possitive and negative?
1 Answer Hello Chris. There is no positive and negative on the igniter 4342528. This is a closed circuit. It does not matter which wire connects to the other wire, as long as one wire is to one wire on the unit, and the other wire is to the other wire on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Bill. Remove the bottom from the oven and access the flame spreader. Then remove the spreader and access the igniter. You will remove the screws holding the igniter 4342528 to the burner bracket. Then you can replace the igniter in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Rosa R. December 07, 2011 for Model Number Modern Maid 750 When we turn the oven on, all seems fine. Gas is there, ignition is working but the oven will not light up. Please help
1 Answer Hi Rosa. There is a round style oven bake /broil igniter part # 4342528. Flat style oven igniter kit Part Number: 12400035. Use a clamp on amp meter to put on one of the igniter wires as it is close to the safety valve. It should pull between 3.2 - 3.6 amps to open the gas valve. Igniters will get weak and not pull enough current( Glow orange instead of white), and not light within 30-45 seconds. If you have the complete model # , then it may be possible to pull up more part #'s depending on the age.Thank You. Read More...
1 Answer Hi Bertha. The igniter should ohm cold at between 50-800 ohms. It may also have a slight crack that opens more when heating and not allowing the gas valve to open. Part # is 4342528. Thank you. Read More...
Dan September 11, 2011 for Model Number 790. 71212700 What should a bad part read when metered? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Dan. If the igniter 4342528 is bad, it will read open and not closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Jose C. July 31, 2011 for Model Number RF368LXPB Hi I have just purchased the oven sensor and now the oven reads F3 E2 then turns off. And only the broil burner turns on, not the bake. What else can I do?
1 Answer Hello Jose. If you replaced the oven sensor and the code continues, you will need to replace the control board WP6610456. First test and make sure the thermal fuse WP3196548 is good. It should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
