hello hello thanks for tuning in today we're going to look at a range stove by whirlpool that's not
heating up on the oven portion this is a gas stove so this really only applies to gas stoves
if it was electric check out the other video in the link above and that's a replacement of
the element this is going to actually be a replacer of the replacement of the igniter
you'll have some racks in here and you'll have a lower pan here that just pops out
and then you'll have your gas bar underneath there so you want to get that thing out
all right now that you got your plate out you'll see the gas bar here that carries the gas in and
then right there where those two holes are there's usually a igniter that is bolted to it and they
commonly fail and go out so here's the old one and as you can see it's in a million pieces there
and this is the old cover for it the only thing you really need to save is the two screws
this is the new igniter it's a universal one
and you see how it has two sets of tabs all you're gonna do is just match it and you can tell they're
exactly the same the tabs line up in the same spot so you just won't use one set of it most of
the time the connector is not gonna match so we'll just cut that off put this glass type fiberglass
wire coating on there and then to connect everything you have to use ceramic
wire nuts if you use plastic wire nuts they will melt and you will have a big problem on
your hands so use ceramic ones again we'll click the little i'll put the link in the description
so we're gonna go ahead and cut this and make it you make the wire the size of the old one
just save your old one until you get it and we'll get it all together all right as you can see we
slid the new fiberglass flame covering over the wires and we used the old oem connector
and cut off the one that it came with and use some ceramic wire nuts you're gonna go ahead and wanna
put some tape around that the this section will be out of the oven so we're gonna use electrical tape
if for some reason it's in the oven or close to the oven you're gonna have to use some type of
fiberglass tape otherwise the tape will burn off so we'll tape that up we're gonna fish it through
and get it put on to the actual gas tube and it goes through that hole out to the
back which most ovens do so after we get it bolted up we'll pull the oven out all right
as you can see it's bolted to the side of the gas tube there with two bolts you don't need to
over torque them just snug them the top two just sit there and the wires are pushed back through
make sure that the igniter is not touching the gas tube itself if it is just bend it back out
of the way we're gonna pull the oven out and make the connection in the back now all right once you
get it through you'll have everything taped make the connection back here and most of them have a
cover plate so put that cover plate on push the oven back into the hole and then test it and
make sure it works all right so the oven's back in the hole we're gonna go ahead and turn it on
to bake and you want to get it up to do 400 to make sure it's high enough
to start we're going to sit here actually close the oven door so we don't blow up
but you'll see the igniter there turn on bright orange and the gas
should turn on there it goes see the igniter lighting up orange and it should ignite the gas
all right i heard the gas valve open so the gas should be coming through shortly
there it is the gas flame is on now that it's verified that you do have gas you're gonna want to
go ahead and shut it down and put all the plating back in and restart the oven up to operating
temperature and make sure it warms up to about 400 and then you're done all right we got everything
back together got the oven tray down there we're going to go ahead and turn the oven on to bake
and we're going to bring it up to 400 degrees and hit start and it's at 100 now we'll come back and
check it once it heats up all right as you can see the temperature is now going up off of 100
so that's it just verify you hit the mark that you want which was 400
and that concludes this video thanks for watching please subscribe
