Remove the door for easier access. Remove the fan cover from the back of the oven (about 6 Phillips head screws). Remove the bottom cover (2 5/16" screws). Lift the cover from the back and slide out. Remove the old igniter (2 5/16" screws). Pull the oven away from the wall. Remove back cover (3 5/16" screws). Unplug igniter, feed wiring through the oven. Install new igniter.

Very simple repair with no tools required. Turn off power to stove. Remove grates, remove burner, pull old Top Burner Spark Electrode up being careful not to jerk it up hard - wiggle if necessary, unplug wire from old electrode, plug wire into new electrode making sure it fits snug - if not, squeeze it closed a little at a time until it fits snug, push new igniter into place being careful not to force it and crack the ceramic body. Install burner being careful not to damage the electrode, Install grates. Turn power back on and test to make sure it works. It took me all of 15 minutes to change 2 burner spark electrodes. The only bad thing about this repair is that the shipping costs as much as the parts.

New burner cap replaced old; just placed over burner; no tools required.

One suggestion: burner cap should have been shipped with thicker bubble protection (easy to do). It was minimally wrapped and placed in a thin, bubble envelope, risking damage in shipping process. Luckily, the burner arrived in tact and usable.

Took longer to open the box.

Just put it on. Quite proud of myself for figuring out what and how to get the part however! The website was very helpful.

replace sensor

Unplug the range from its wall socket to avoid electric shock. The various range parts that support a pot or frypan are easily lifted off their perches, exposing the small white igniter. The only moderately difficult aspect is wiggling the igniter out of its retainer. The electric wire leading into it then can be pulled out and fed into the new igniter with a push. Replace igniter in its retainer, then replace the range parts you removed to expose the igniter and plug the range back into the wall socket. Piece of cake.

First I checked that the wire and sparker was working by switching the wires on top of the range. I did this by pulling out the sparker switching it from the back working burner on the same side. The same burner would not light so I knew it was not the sparker.

Then watch a bunch of videos and found this gal to be the most helpful on how to take apart my exact stove.

I did not take everything apart like she did. I ordered the spark module and just replaced it following her method to take off the back, switch the wires to the new module, then put everything back together again.

All burners have been working perfectly since the fix.

Order parts and installed - no tools needed - completed repairs less than 1 minute

I JUST EXCHANGED THE BURNER AND BURNER CAP.

This is the 2nd igniter I purchased from your company. The first igniter I purchased from your company only lasted for 4 months. The parts your company sell have GE genuine parts on the packing box. Why would a new igniter only last for 4 months?

Just lifted old burner off with my fingers and replaced with the new one. What needs to be focused on here is the fact that Part Select has such a complete line of parts rather than the difficulty in the install.

un-screw temperature sensor, have to move racks and door, then open back cover board to disconnect the sensor.

Remove the top grate and remove the top burner plate and then pull the burner out and remove the torx screw and adapter install onto the new burner and place back on the stove , good to go.
