General Electric Range JGB285DET1BB Gas igniter glows, but will not light

The Oven Igniter is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens, designed to ignite the bake igniter to start the heating process. This part is responsible for creating the spark that ignites the gas, providing the heat needed to cook and bake food. Over time, the oven igniter can wear out or become damaged, which can prevent the oven from heating.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven not heating up at all.
• The oven taking longer than normal to heat.
• Gas smell in the oven due to gas being released without ignition.
• A clicking sound without the oven igniting.

Causes of a bad igniter can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or moisture, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

IMPORTANT: The connector plug may need to be cut off and igniter wires connected to range wires using porcelain wire connectors.

Fix an oven that won't heat, takes too long to preheat, or makes a whoosh sound when lighting. This bake burner assembly includes the igniter. DIY repair.
