Repair Gas Oven - Replacing Hot Surface Igniter
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Brian replaces the hot surface igniter on his oven. This is a common part on gas ovens. The igniter is responsible for lighting the gas burner on the oven. Obviously the oven does not light properly without a working igniter.

Well you helped us with this video about 3 years ago and the darn thing stopped working again so here we are once more! Thank you so much for making so easy to follow even us novices can do it! ❤🇨🇦❤
Great video! I bought the original part from Whirlpool as you mentioned and it was very easy to change. One thing that made it really easy is that before taking the old part out i attached a string to the old igniter wires and then tied it up to the new one so i did not have to fish thru the hole in the back and the insulation. Took me 20 mn. I did not even take out the burner ramp. Just remove the 3screws. I used a robertson screwdriver to not strip the screws . Thanks so much !
thank you very very much you saved me 300.00 dollars the repair guys told me that was the going price over the phone thanks again.
I was looking everywhere for the model#! Thanks for showing the placards!
great video. My wife changed the igniter with the help of this video...Thanks alot.

I was able to complete repair in 5 minutes. The video was excellent.
Great video bro. Just knocked it out using your video. Thank you!
Thanks for your advice and God bless you ❤
Thanks guys. My whirlpool oven igniter just took a crap when I was trying to make a pizza. My wife is getting the model number from her records she always keeps when we purchase appliances. I'll be doing the install, but don't worry, I'm an engineer...LMAO
great job! thanks!
this is a great DIY video. I also had the same problem trying to find the model number too. my question is does this repair also apply to the upper oven in the Gemini oven or just the lower oven?
big help! Thanks!
Hi! Great video and very easy diy. For my oven it does light up and bake but it have a puffing sound goes on and off as it bake so does it mean the ignitor needs to be replace??? Pls advice since i will be doing this diy.
thank you i really needed the advice
I just replaced a non-working ignitor in my Whirpool gas oven and the new ignitor gets red hot but doesn't actually ignite the gas...did I mess something up?
This may be a ridiculous question, but I have the exact stove as seen on the video, maytag gemini, but my top oven doesn't light to bake or broil anymore. I know the bottom oven has its own igniter, but does the top oven have two additional igniters? One for broiler and one for standard oven?
Great Video
Hi- my oven comes on but the broiler won't fire up. Can you help with this problem? Thanks.
I have this Wirlpool gas range WFG320M0BS0, and the igniter glow but doesnt light, how to check the igniter to make sure it is ok or not
You guys ever work on a Vintage Glenwood combo stove/oven and heater. Has the very long thermocouple runs from the back to the top front for the oven control. All pilots work but no oven or broiler.
I have Maytag advanced cooking system and have issue with the oven heating issue can you help
Is the ignitor suppose to remain on after and during flame up? Home heating furnace ignitor turn off after flame up but after replacing my oven OEM ignitor, the ignitor remains powered and lit up during flame...
Thank you so much!!
I ahve same oven but code H3 is coming everything works except CLEAN function and I had igniters on top starting out of the blue ,they stopped now but if I plug and unplug code H3 comes back for a second -can you help?
does anyone know the different between the Bake igniter and the surface igniter. how do i know . Myoven does not turn on but the gas stove top works fine. Thanks
Hello thank you for your video. My problem is I'm not getting 110v to igniter. I know the igniter is good and i can hear relays clicking. Any info would be appreciated
Do you have a video on how to do the upper oven? Ours is not the same as the bottom
Hi, my built-in gas oven cut off immediately when I turn it on. Please help.
Word thanks a lot
Also, if your oven still works as normal, it just takes more than 30-40 to light, the ignitor is very weak, and replacing it will bring it back to normal.
can the wires be exsposed to the fire
Is there an upper ignitor for the broiler too?
Great video guys!! needless to say I got the generic part..lol What's the best way to connect it when my replacement part doesnt have the connectors??

Splice the wires. Use wire nuts.
Can I switch the hot surface igniter with a spark igniter
How might you check to see if this heating unit is the problem …..would it be okay to remove the plates to expose that heating unit …..then turn the oven on and if that unit does not start to glow then you know it’s not working?
Is there a difference in brand/generic igniters? The orginal Kitchenaid igniter lasted about 10 years, the replacement about 6 years, and the last generic one only lasted about a year. Btw the first one died after a self cleaning cycle, so we don't do that anymore!
So we not turning the power and gas off?

Sorry, don't know much about that particular oven.
So what if the connectors do not fit and you have to strip the wire, use a wire nut and tape? The wires are not labeled red/black. Does it matter which one is which?

Don't tape. Use the ceramic type nut. I'm not sure if it matters but I don't think theres a black and white
I went online and found a universal for the brand I need I hope it works I'm still waiting for it in the mail
Question: If the igniter does in fact glow, but the over refuses to light, what else could be wrong if the safety valve is brand new?
@esqueue
Жыл бұрын
Old comment but apparently, it can still be bad even if it is glowing. The resistance of the igniter decreases the hotter it gets. Once the resistance decreases it allows more current to go to the safety valve which is wired in series. After the igniter gets hot enough the resistance drops to the point that the valve can turn on.
Why doesn’t my broiler doesn’t turn on I have same stove ?
Q. Why not use power tools? Because power drill could ignite a gas leak ?

The screws are so short it's kind overkill. I just use a 6 in one

+Mikido Soto, Jr. Sounds like the Thermocouple if it has one (senses if the ignitor lit a flame, if ignitor doesnt sense the flame then it shuts off the gas so there isnt gas just isnt running without being lit. If its not that then id say gas valve....Just my guess.
I'm missing the tag on my oven it looks exactly like the one you use on this video can you tell me you model number?
Does the gas have to be turned off, or just the power?
@IWBVS

Just power should be good
touching the new igniter with bare hands is not good for the igniter. Use gloves.
It's pronounced "Wire-bool"
He was smoking a cigarette. Im triggered!!!!!
Doesn’t this range have a hidden igniter for the top oven? Why ignore the real job-which which could use an explanation? The operation you show is every other gas range in the universe
How much is the risk of having an explosion happening? ....lol

No Risk but make sure to do it on 4th of July. That will kill two birds with one stone.
Not a stove. It's a range. But cool video.
