5. Installation Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to replace your oven igniter. If you are not comfortable performing this repair, please contact a professional technician.

1. Disconnect Power and Gas: Locate the circuit breaker for your oven and turn off the power. For gas ovens, also turn off the gas supply valve to the appliance. This is a critical safety step.
2. Access the Oven Interior: Open the oven door and remove the oven racks. Depending on your model, you may need to remove the oven bottom panel. This panel is usually held in place by a few screws or clips.
3. Locate the Old Igniter: The igniter is typically located near the gas burner tube at the bottom of the oven. It is a small, rectangular ceramic component with wires attached.
4. Disconnect Wires: Carefully disconnect the two-prong connector of the old igniter from the oven's wiring harness. Note how it is connected.
5. Remove Old Igniter: Unscrew any mounting screws holding the old igniter in place. Gently slide the old igniter out of its bracket or mounting position.
6. Install New Igniter: Position the new igniter (Part Number 74007498) into the mounting bracket. Secure it with the screws you removed earlier. Ensure it is firmly in place and properly aligned with the burner tube.
7. Connect Wires: Connect the two-prong female pin plug of the new igniter to the oven's wiring harness. Ensure a secure connection.
8. Reassemble Oven: Replace the oven bottom panel and secure it with its screws or clips. Reinsert the oven racks.
9. Restore Power and Gas: Turn the gas supply valve back on. Restore power to the oven at the circuit breaker.
10. Test Operation: Set your oven to bake at a low temperature (e.g., 350°F). Listen for the click of the igniter and observe if the gas ignites and the burner lights up. It may take a minute or two for the igniter to glow and ignite the gas.

6. Operating Principle

The oven igniter is a critical component in a gas oven's ignition system. When the oven is turned on, the igniter receives electrical current and begins to heat up. As it heats, its electrical resistance decreases, allowing more current to flow to a safety valve. Once the igniter reaches a sufficient temperature (typically around 1800-2500°F), the safety valve opens, releasing gas to the burner. The hot igniter then ignites this gas, creating the flame needed for heating. The igniter remains on during the entire bake cycle to ensure the gas valve stays open.

7. Maintenance

The oven igniter is generally a sealed unit and does not require routine maintenance. However, to prolong the life of your oven and its components:

• Keep the oven interior clean to prevent grease and food debris from accumulating near the igniter or burner.
• Avoid spilling liquids directly onto the igniter or burner area.
• If you notice any unusual smells (like gas) or sounds, immediately turn off the oven and gas supply and contact a qualified technician.
