General Electric Range JGBP79CEB5CC 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.

This Bake Burner Assembly is an OEM part for GE ovens and ranges. The bake burner assembly includes both the igniter and the burner tube. It is responsible for producing the flame that heats the air inside the oven cavity during baking and broiling.

Causes of a bad bake burner can include wear and tear from frequent use, clogging or blockage of gas ports, or damage from exposure to high temperatures and spills.

Symptoms of a bad bake burner include:

• Uneven baking or cooking results
• The oven not heating up properly or taking too long to reach the desired temperature
• Visible damage or corrosion on the burner
• The oven emitting unusual smells or noises during operation

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This gas valve control regulates the flow of gas to a burner in your range, enabling reliable ignition and precise flame adjustment. Replacing a worn valve restores smooth knob operation and consistent burner performance.

• Meters gas to a single burner as the control knob is turned
• Works with the ignition system to light and sustain the flame
• Typical symptoms include a burner that won't ignite or lights intermittently
• Flame will not adjust or is unstable; knob feels tight, sticky, or turns without proper control

• Disconnect electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool and work in a well-ventilated area
• Note the valve's orientation; transfer any model-specific fittings or hardware from the original valve as needed
• After reassembly, restore gas and check all connections with an approved leak-detection solution; verify proper ignition and flame control
