Jerry L Canton , GA December 28, 2015 Appliance: Whirlpool Gas Range GW395LEGB1 Intermitten mini explosions in the oven when trying to use Troubleshot the oven by checking the broiler which worked good (same fuel valve). After reading the some tips about troubleshooting the Glow Ignitor I could see the broiler ignitor got white hot and the oven ignitor only got bright orange (orange to red causes intermittent ignition or mini explosions). Watched the how to video and it was good information. You should be observant about which openings in the back of the oven as to where the two wires are coming out of. My oven is over 12 years old and I had to use a Dremal to cut the heads off the four screws retaining the flame spreader (piece of metal over the burner). The screws I ordered from the Illustrate Parts Breakdown were not the correct thread type so I had to go buy four more from HD. Replacing the Glow Ignitor was an easy task after watching the DIY video. Replacing the lightbulb is an ongoing issue. I need to troubleshoot that a little more. Changed out the bulb (no help). I think the socket has been heat damaged because my renters removed the light lens and broke the bulb off down to the socket which I had to remove with needle nose pliers (disconnect the electrical first). But the oven works great! I've always receive great reliable support from ApplicancePartsPro. On this particular oven I've changed out; the wiring harness going to the stove top burner valves, oven door glass, stove top burner valves, plastic end pieces and now the oven glow ignitor. I recommend and I let others know about this website. Semper Fi Read More... 17 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Seemab H Boston , MA May 28, 2020 Appliance: Model WP9781049 (AP6014178) The oven light lens broke. We unscrewed the lens and replaced it with the new lens. It was very tough to unscrew so we kept trying to loosen it daily until it came out. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
Peter H Poughkeepsie , NY May 09, 2020 Appliance: KitchenAid Gas Range KGRT607HWH9 Lights continued to be out even though bulbs were replaced. I bought replacement lamp sockets and new bulbs and gaskets because I wanted this fixed. The web page didn't specify that the sockets were a new design with wedge style halogen bulbs, so I'll keep the new bulbs for the dryer. The replacement videos were not for my exact model but were useful enough fr me to know what needed to be done. I didn't rush and finished the replacement in about an hour. Now the oven has both lights working. :) Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
James S Eyota , MN November 17, 2020 Appliance: Model KITCHENAID KGST307HWH4 Oven would not get up to temperature. Replaced the oven igniter. I used a string attached to the connectors, wrapped the string and connectors with electrical tape to do as little damage to the insulation, and pulled out the igniter from inside the oven. Once the string was pulled into the oven, the old igniter was cut off and the new igniter was tied at the connectors. Electrical tape was then wrapped around the string, connectors, and the thermal wire insulation to prevent catching the oven insulation. Pulled the new igniter wires from the back of the stove with the string, took off the string and electrical tape, and connected up the new igniter. Tested by holding in the door shut switch button with tape and turning on the oven. It worked! Turned off the oven, and put it back together. Read More...
