Maytag Range CHG9800AAE Gas igniter glows, but will not light

The Flat Style Oven Igniter Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, facilitating the start of the heating process. This igniter is crucial for ensuring your oven heats up quickly and efficiently, providing the necessary flame for cooking and baking.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven failing to heat up or taking a long time to reach the desired temperature.
• A noticeable gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating the gas is not igniting.
• The igniter glowing without producing a flame, which can point to a lack of adequate temperature to ignite the gas.

Causes of a bad oven igniter can include the wear and breakdown of the igniter element over time, a faulty electrical connection, or a disruption in the gas supply.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This oven gas valve controls the flow of gas to the oven burner. When functioning properly, it allows the burner to ignite and maintain a steady flame for consistent preheating and baking performance.

• Opens and closes to supply gas to the oven burner as commanded by the control system
• Helps ensure gas only flows when ignition is called for
• Common symptoms include no heat/no flame, slow preheat, or temperature not reaching set point
• May also present as intermittent heat or a weak/irregular burner flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Verify igniter condition/current; a weak igniter can mimic a failed valve
• Transfer any required fittings or brackets from the original valve
• Use gas-rated thread sealant on threaded joints; leak-test all connections and run a test cycle to proper ignition

This pressure regulator controls incoming water pressure to the appliance's water/ice system, helping maintain steady flow for proper dispenser and ice maker operation. Replaces a worn or failing regulator to restore correct water delivery. What it does:

• Reduces and stabilizes incoming household water pressure for the appliance's water valve/ice maker
• Helps prevent overfilling, leaking, erratic dispenser flow, or poor ice production caused by excessive pressure
• Works with the water inlet system to ensure consistent fill cycles and reliable dispensing
• Compatible with models that use WP74006429 as the factory regulator

• One pressure regulator

• Shut off water supply and unplug the appliance before replacing the regulator
• Inspect fittings and tubing for damage; replace any worn connectors or seals
• Tighten fittings securely and check carefully for leaks after restoring water and power
