When to Replace

• Oven fails to ignite or maintain a flame during the heating cycle.
• The igniter element shows visible cracks, breaks, or localized white oxidation spots.
• The igniter fails to glow when the oven is powered on and calling for heat.
• Igniter amperage draw is below the threshold required to open the gas safety valve.
• Error codes related to ignition failure or flame sensing are displayed on the control board.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the electrical power supply and shut off the main gas line before beginning the repair.
• Allow the oven to cool completely to avoid burns from surrounding metal components.
• Handle the new igniter only by the ceramic base; do not touch the black heating element, as skin oils can lead to hotspots and premature failure.
• Carefully remove the mounting screws and old igniter, noting the original wiring path.
• Secure the new igniter in the same orientation as the original to ensure the element is correctly positioned in the gas flow path.
• Use high-temperature porcelain wire nuts if the original electrical connectors require modification.
• Restore power and gas, then run a test cycle to confirm the element glows and the gas ignites promptly.
