What if I did this and it still doesn’t work could it be something else?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@doumit87 yes could be many things including something on the main control panel. Check to see if igniter receiving voltage

That burner tube comes out they are usually held in by 2 screws. the one you took out that was in front and one near the back of the burner. then just lift it up and out, first disconnect the wires from underneath. makes it a lot easier changing the igniter. easier to get at the screws. plus you don't have to twist the wires together that's probably why it didn't reach the safety valve.

VERY THOROUGH and easy to follow tutorial...I'm 99.9% certain that I've got a bad igniter, and that's what's causing the oven to NOT fire up! TomorrowI turn 71 years old and I've ALWAYS loved taking broken things apart and fixing them... so tomorrow, I'll ride down to where my Dad RIP, bought the Frigidaire oven back in 2013, and with OLD igniter in hand, buy a NEW one, install it and if the stars are in alignment, I might ACTUALLY hear a, "GOOD JOB GARY!" from my dear wife! (I WON'T however, bet my pristine Muststang GT on that utterance occuring!) Thanks again Jonny DIY for the great video!

[@frankweir9514]

Jonny...Couple helping comments for Whirlpool. Hardest part was running igniter cable through insulation to connection on the back of the range. There's a small plate that covers the gas orifice inside the oven. Remove the one screw and plate. Don't remove defective cable and igniter at first so you can use it to help run new cable through. ALSO, shine your flashlight where cable enters insulation inside the oven. Then you can clearly see where the cable goes as you look from the back of the range! So simple but a massive help in fishing new igniter cable through insulation to connection on the back of the range. People online complain about how confusing it can be getting the new cable to the connection.

[@volpe1970]

Thank you for this informative video. I have about two yeas of tinkering with washers and dryers, but I haven't worked on ranges at all. I'm preparing to do a similar job, so I wanted to get eyes on the disassembly and part replacement. I really appreciate your attention to detail. If I may, I'd like to point out that the igniter fails not because it doesn't get hot enough, but because it goes out of spec. As the igniter heats up, its resistance drops, thus it's amperage increases. In order to heat the bimetal in the gas valve it needs to reach a certain current (3.3 amps in valves that I have seen) in order to flex the gas valve bimetal which opens the gas valve. Just a little tidbit I thought I would pass on. So, you can see an igniter glowing and not lighting because its resistance hasn't decreased enough for the current to reach the specified amperage. That being said, I want to thank you for showing me how to execute this operation!

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome, happy I could help you out. And thank you for the extra knowledge on these things 🙌 good luck 👍

[@Charlielizard]

Great video as always. A little tip for those two wires coming off the ignitor. Some heat shrink tubing will add extra protection against those sharp edges. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks Chuck. Great idea. I was thinking when I rewatched this I should have done something like that, maybe even an extra heat resistant fiberglass sleeve. Maybe on the next one! Hah these replacement parts aren't the best anymore, I'm sure I may have to change again in the next couple years 👍 Have a great weekend too

Hi Johnny. I realize it's Easter weekend and you're likely busy doing easter-like things but...., but I guess I should give you a heads up on a few things...,A: I am a 62 year old grammy who has "0" knowledge or experience repairing anything electrical but B: I truly can't afford to hire an appliance guy to come out so it's all on me. Now having just watched your (absolutely fantastic!) video on replacing an oven ignitor I'm thinking "hey, I can do that" and so here I go but..., I have a few questions and may have more as this repair moves forward. Ok so I'm working on a Kenmore gas range, model #790.7851 on which the oven may or may not heat. Meaning over the last 6 months it has heated up a few times but the last attempt I'd turned it on but after waiting about an hour for it to heat I just turned it off. The time before that it had heated but took about half an hour to heat and then if I changed the temperature (up or down) it would go down to it's lowest heat and would not budge from that temperature. I'm merely guessing that it's the ignitor AND like I said, after watching your vid I think I can do this. 👉🏽👉🏽🤷🏽‍♀Can I get the ignitor at Home Depot? (Ignitor, oven burner part #316428500, taken from the parts repair list for this oven)..., and "Shoot!" I've forgotten what my other "?" were. Lucky you, guess you're off the hook for now😉😉 BTW I swear I'm not some crazy just hoping to mess with you, I am who I say I am (for better or worse).If for whatever reason you can't help (any further than your great video) that's totally copasetic. I'll figure it out, may take awhile longer but eventually I'll get there. Sorry for the REaLLy lOnG comment, it's a grandmother thing having far too many words✌🏽👋🏽

[@JonnyDIY]

Sounds like the igniter going out. I'd just replace it, yes. I usually order online from anywhere who has them, amazon, ebay, or appliance parts supplier. You may even be able to get one locally if have one of those appliance repair shops. Yes you can use owner's manual to identify replacement but I'd probably look at one in there to make sure matches before ordering. Have a nice Easter weekend 👍

hi! my oven doesn't preheat occasionally. often it works fine, but sometimes it sits at the base temp (150 degrees) for like an hour or two before heating up. the igniter seems to be glowing even when this happens. I just removed all the covers so I can see what is happening more clearly, but it hasn't had the issue today yet. any thoughts? can an igniter be faulty sometimes, but not others, does this seem to most likely be the problem? thank you so much

[@JonnyDIY]

The igniter should only glow and be on to light the flame tube. So if it's staying on later for a while it may be bad. You may also want to check the "temperature probe"

[@valerieholze9956]

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes you're fine. I would put some wire nuts on ends or wrap each end of the exposed wires to the igniter if you got that far though 👍

[@MoLewis57]

Great video. I see that that ignitor lights the flames next to it and then the rest of the flames are lit in a domino effect. We have an issue where we started to smell gas *only* when the oven was on ( we stopped using oven after noticing this ). I’m wondering if it is possible for some of those gas outlets on the bottom of the oven to be clogged so badly that most of the flames light, but a clogs keep some flames from lighting which means that nothing lights the gas outlets next to it, so gas is released without burning. In other words, if the are 10 holes next to each other with gas coming out of them, and the gas is ignited at holes 1-7, but 8 and 9 are clogged, then gas will be coming out hole 10 without igniting. Thanks

[@JonnyDIY]

Sounds possible, I would open it up and light the oven and see whats going on with the flame tube when oven on. An inexpensive gas leak detector like this, may help a lot in diagnosing as well 👍 amzn.to/3Rb1ves

[@laniegonewild]

Just a quick question so does the igniter stay on when the oven has lit it stays on the whole time or just to light it and then goes off or it stays on can you confirm thanks

It usually goes on and off I believe. As it has to relight the flame tube as the temperature goes up and down

Hello Jonny, any chance for us to work together to review and install our 4K security camera system? I had emailed you the details of the proposal, hope can get your feedback and move forward! Thanks.

[@bluebenji2740]

Will this help if you have a f-10 error message?

[@JonnyDIY]

I would look into the oven temperature probe first and test that for resistance to see if working correctly. Then go to the panel. Sometimes you can find known problems with your specific model range by searching "f10 error" and your model on google and see what others have done

[@bobm.1274]

What if i replace my heating element and it still wont get hot. Wont come on at all. Stove top and broiler work, just not the oven?

[@JonnyDIY]

I would double check and test the igniter to make sure it is indeed working properly. Can test with multimeter

[@ashhelmsrnbsn]

​@@JonnyDIY What should the multimeter read if the igniter is working properly?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@ashhelmsrnbsn usually between 40 and 200 ohms

[@bobbie7355]

My oven keeps beeping F2 and shuts off. What does that? Sears replaced the ignitor. That didn't work. We replaced the thermostat. That didn't work. They said it could be the board.

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes the board would be the next logical part to inspect/test and potentially replace 👍

[@Its_about_that_time]

So my stovetop and broiler work but oven doesn't why is that. Igniter still?

[@JonnyDIY]

Probably (I'd start there). Broiler has its own separate igniter as well as stovetop burners 👍

[@Its_about_that_time]

@@JonnyDIY ok thank you for the response I will check it out

[@JonnyDIY]

@@Its_about_that_time you're welcome, good luck 👍

My igniter is on but the stove isn't letting out Gas it does it every once in a blue moon when u turn the temperature to 400

[@JonnyDIY]

When they're going out they'll usually still glow but not hot enough to open gas. I'd probably just replace it, usally fixes issue 👍

[@chxpionships_5163]

@JonnyDIY yes i put a tester on the gas valve and it showed numbers I replaced the igniter a few months ago so I figured it was something else but the igniter cord is a bit burned so u got another one

[@JonnyDIY]

@@chxpionships_5163 ohh ok hopefully it fixes issue 🙏

[@dannypalmer7701]

My kenmore igniter is glowing but the gas wont come on.

[@JonnyDIY]

Even if glowing doesn't mean it could not be faulty. They will glow, but not get hot enough to open the gas valve when going bad 👍

[@kristinaearle7690]

Okay so what if my element lights, but it still won't ignite? I don't smell gas either

[@JonnyDIY]

It could still be bad even though it's still glowing. It has to reach certain temperature to open the gas

[@JS-fx8uu]

What happen to those that doesn't know what to do. It looks easy, but is it really that simple and easy?😮😕

[@JonnyDIY]

It's pretty straightforward if you follow my directions 👍
