The flat style gas oven igniter is used to ignite the gas to light the oven burner, which produces heat for your range. If the element has shorted out, is no longer glowing, or is glowing but only orange or red rather than white, then you will need to replace the oven igniter. When replacing the igniter please be very careful not to touch the gray element part of the igniter as it is very fragile. The igniter measures approximately 3-3/4"in length and the amperage range is 3.3 to 3.6. This igniter kit can replace igniters for either the broil or bake burners and can replace shorter and longer igniters. The kit includes the igniter, 4 wire nuts, insulation, 2 wire assembly and a bracket. This is a genuine OEM part. Please make sure to disconnect the power and shut off the gas supply before starting your repair.
