Setup and Installation

Warning: Before beginning any installation, ensure the appliance is completely disconnected from its power source (unplugged or circuit breaker turned off). Failure to do so can result in electric shock or serious injury.

Installation of an oven range igniter typically involves accessing the oven's burner assembly. Due to variations in appliance models, specific steps may differ. It is recommended to consult your appliance's service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about the procedure.

1. Disconnect Power: Turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to your oven or unplug the appliance from the wall outlet.
2. Access Oven Interior: Open the oven door and remove oven racks. Depending on your model, you may need to remove the oven bottom panel to access the igniter. This usually involves lifting the front edge and sliding it out.
3. Locate Igniter: Identify the existing igniter, which is typically located near the burner tube.
4. Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect the electrical wires leading to the old igniter. Note the orientation and connection points.
5. Remove Old Igniter: Unscrew or unclip the old igniter from its mounting bracket. Handle with care as old igniters can also be fragile.
6. Install New Igniter: Mount the new 316489403 igniter onto the bracket using the original screws or clips. Ensure it is securely fastened.
7. Connect Wiring: Connect the electrical wires to the new igniter. Ensure connections are secure and correct. The included connectors (if applicable) should be used for a proper fit.

For detailed visual guidance, refer to appliance-specific repair videos or diagrams available from the original appliance manufacturer.

Operating Instructions

The igniter is an automatic component of your oven's ignition system. Once installed, its operation is integrated with the oven's normal function. When the oven is set to a baking or broiling temperature, the control system sends power to the igniter. The igniter heats up, glowing red, which then ignites the gas flowing from the burner. The igniter also acts as a flame sensor, signaling the gas valve to remain open as long as a flame is present.

No direct user operation is required for the igniter itself after installation. Ensure your oven controls are set correctly for desired cooking functions.

Maintenance

The Oven Range Igniter 316489403 is a sealed unit and does not require routine maintenance. However, to ensure its longevity and proper function:

• Avoid Physical Impact: The igniter is fragile. Avoid bumping or striking it during oven cleaning or other maintenance activities.
• Keep Clean: While the igniter itself should not be directly cleaned with liquids, ensure the area around it is free from food debris or spills that could interfere with its operation or cause damage.
• Regular Oven Cleaning: Follow your oven manufacturer's recommendations for regular cleaning to prevent buildup that could affect igniter performance.

Troubleshooting

The Oven Range Igniter 316489403 is designed to address common ignition issues. If you experience problems after installation, consider the following:

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
