When to Replace

• Oven fails to heat or reach set temperature.
• Igniter element does not glow orange when the oven is turned on.
• Gas safety valve fails to open despite the igniter glowing (often caused by a weak igniter that cannot draw sufficient amperage).
• Visible damage, such as cracks or breaks, on the ceramic heating element.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect power and gas supply to the appliance before beginning repairs.
• Avoid touching the ceramic element of the new igniter with bare hands; oils from skin can cause premature failure.
• Use ceramic wire nuts to ensure high-heat resistance for the electrical connections.
• Test the igniter cycle after installation to ensure the gas safety valve opens reliably.
