Common Symptoms
- Igniter does not glow during a bake or broil call.
- Igniter glows but the burner does not light.
- Oven has little or no heat because the burner does not light.
- Delayed oven-burner ignition.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the installed application uses a round-style igniter; this kit is not for flat-style igniters.
- With electrical power disconnected and the range cool, inspect the igniter’s gray ceramic center and its lead/connection for visible damage or looseness; do not touch or stress the fragile igniter element.
- During a normal bake or broil call, observe whether the igniter glows and whether the corresponding burner lights. If gas is smelled without ignition, turn the control off, ventilate, and do not continue attempting operation.
- A qualified technician can use an appropriate clamp meter and appliance-safe live-test procedure to compare igniter current draw with the specified 2.5–3.0 A range; current alone does not establish the diagnosis.
Pro Tip
Handle the gray ceramic igniter element as little as possible—it is fragile—and verify the original is round style before installing this universal kit.
