Oven Not Heating? GE Oven Ignitor WG02F14958 – Fix a Gas Oven That Won't Light Fast

If your GE gas oven won't heat, won't light, or takes several minutes to ignite, a failed oven ignitor is the most common cause. In most GE, Hotpoint, and RCA gas ranges, the flat-style silicon carbide ignitor weakens over time and eventually fails to reach the temperature needed to open the gas valve. When it fails, the oven burner never lights — the oven stays cold even though the gas supply and control board are functioning normally. ⚡ One of the most common failure points in GE-built gas ranges. Part WG02F14958 is the genuine OEM replacement ignitor that restores full oven heating and normal ignition on the first try.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ QUALIFIER 1 — Oven powers on and control panel responds normally
• ✔ QUALIFIER 2 — Stovetop burners ignite and heat correctly
• ✔ QUALIFIER 3 — Gas supply to the range is confirmed on
• ✔ ONLY problem is the oven burner will not light or takes 3–5+ minutes to ignite

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Oven does not heat at all — burner never lights
• Oven takes 3–5 minutes or longer to reach temperature
• Ignitor glows orange but gas never ignites
• Oven shuts off mid-cycle without reaching set temperature
• F2 or temperature error codes on the display

✔ If these symptoms match, the ignitor is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing the ignitor restores normal oven operation immediately after installation.

⚙️ Installation

Skill Level: EASY — 20–30 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Remove the oven racks and bottom panel to access the burner assembly. Disconnect the two-wire harness from the old ignitor, remove the two mounting screws, and install the new ignitor in reverse order. Do not touch the ignitor element with bare hands — skin oils reduce its lifespan.
