Lots of information and hints should be easier after watching and learning from you Thanks

You Da Man! Struggling for the longest time with two of my burners and never knew about the little hole. Fixed it right up. Thank you so much for sharing.

I agree 100% with your view of becoming a rely on someone else society. I am the eldest son of a do it yourselfer and was the mandatory gofer/ helper whenever there was a project to be done. I am very grateful as the lessons I learned early on have only helped me along in my life. It has made me who I am today. I appreciate the video as I was curious what was involved with the igniter replacement. I did a quick google part search before finding this video and saw the assembly you refer to in the video which got me wondering why I would need all of those parts to replace an igniter. Again thank you for the valuable information.

It's nice to know that these videos are appreciated. Thank you for your comment.

This is exactly the video I needed to watch. Now I just need to see if I can locate the parts I need to replace! 😊

Sometimes it is not the igniter. Best thing to do when troubleshooting is swap out all the parts one by one to identify the root cause. In the case of a range, you have the igniter, which is a pain to swap, the base that channels the gas, and the plate that covers the base. These last two are easy to swap with any other burner that is the same size. In a recent case, I found that my igniter and plate were fine, but the base was either worn down or warped, and therefore not channeling gas the right way. Replacing the igniter would have been a huge waste of time and money!

I did exactly what you said and I am very thankful for your advice. The burners work perfectly! Again thank you.

You're welcome!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that the burner screws and the screws underneath were different sizes.. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason for that other than some product designer was STUPID!!! haha

Or intentional. I've had to replace some of those bolts and they were very unique and, though small, very expensive.

This was exactly my problem! Thank you for posting this very helpful video.

Very helpful. Thank you for posting this.

Safety pin in the gas hole fixed it for me. Thanks!

Thanks for this. Couldn't find the port but scrubbed the silver piece and that did the trick.

Very helpful, thanks!!

Well done video. And a nice call to action. thanks

Thank you for this excellent video. Your oven range design is nearly identical to mine. I am glad you showed that the burners have to be removed to raise the top by removing the two screws in the base of the burner. My front left burner that is used mostly will not ignite the gas unless another burner is sparking. Unfortunately, the head of 1 of the 2 screws in that burner had sheared off, making it impossible for me to remove, especially because the top of the shaft is below the surface. If you have any suggestion on how to remove the headless screw it would be soooo much appreciated. The anealed/hardened shaft of these screws is so small that it's very hard to drill into it. Your help in how to remove this headless screw shaft will be very much appreciated. Thank you

That's a tough situation to find yourself in. Unfortunately, appliance repair is not my specialty. Good luck.

Why won’t anybody take off the piece after they take off the cap? As if it’s not just laying on there too?

❤❤❤Good morning from Gardening with kirk

Hi hey you help me with this video thanks

One thing that I don't understand is when you tried the old ignitor at the beginning, it was clearly sparking, so explain why changing the igniters with new ones that spark too like the old ones, why didn't the old ones light the burner?????????? Don't you see that does not make sense!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮😊😅😂😢 I'm so confused. Hardy, har. Har, Har, can somebody explain that to me.

over time, the igniters wear down, just like a spark plug. If you have ever put in a spark plug, you may have set the gap and those gaps must be accurate to 100ths of an inch. Being slightly off will impact the quality of the spark. You may still have spark but it is not strong enough to ignite the gas. The new igniters tips were noticeably larger than the ones I removed so I would guess that the spark was weaker. I am not expert and this is my own guess.

Any chance you still have the vendor's name for the igniters?

Do u need to turn off gas completely to replace the igniter?

@JivaJavaCafe

7 ай бұрын

No, but to be safe it is a good idea. If it is difficult to access the gas shutoff, you can leave it on, but be very careful of moving the control knobs while doing the work. In fact, if you must leave the gas on, put tape over the gas knobs so that they do not move while you are working.

eBay doesn’t show just the igniter without the other assemble. Can you send me the name of the vendor you received just the igniters?

If I have propane gas, can I just turn off the tank out side?

@HomeImproveman

That will work, just be sure to turn on one of the heating elements to give the gas that is stuck in the line an opportunity to escape. Hold a flame up to the heating element to ensure that the gas is completely off. You should also have a valve behind the stove that you can use to shut off the gas..

If the igniter is sparking why would you replace it?

@HomeImproveman

just like a spark plug in a car, the distance between the electrodes increase over time and usage. Spark may still be there, but it is weaker because of the increased distance. Clearly, the choice to replace them was the correct choice because it solved the problem.

Shouldn't you have turned off the electricity and gas to the stove?

@HomeImproveman

7 ай бұрын

You are correct, I should have mentioned turning off the gas. But, you need to keep it plugged in so that you can see the ignitor attempting to spark. While replacing the components, you could unplug the unit, but the only time there is electricity going to the ignitors is when you have the knob turned to 'light' and the voltage is quite low.

hi, I have the same stove model but could not find the igniter part number on the part list. Can you please send me the ebay store address which you bought the igniter. Thanks.

Totally skipped the part where you show how to remove the igniter from the frame..

not clear why you can't try cleaning the igniter before you replace it.

Definitely try this, but a quick examination will often show this is futile. Propane and natural gas burn cleanly and leave no discernible residue to foul the igniter and because the igniter is recessed, it is rarely soiled by food.
