We have a GE stove (12 yrs. old). In my haste to fix the problem I changed the Broiler ignitor, unfortunately this was the wrong ignitor. The wires were cut long more by accident than planned out. The old ignitor was switched back to the original location. This was relatively easy because of the access. I took the new ignitor and disassembled the oven ignitor. One screw that fastened the bake burner was removed. Of course the ignitor was screwed on the bottom of the the bake burner. My wife who has smaller hands and is more agile, from doing yoga, reassembled the new ignitor and we spliced the wires and the ignitor glowed and Voila, we had fire. My advice is spend some time reading Samurai repair stuff and identify the broiler and oven ignitors and actually save time in the end. Maybe I will remove the bake burner the next time.

My Maytag oven stopped working two years ago and we had the igniter replaced. This year, it stopped working again, so I decided to fix it myself. Unfortunately I did the repair before I saw this web page. When I opened the oven, I saw the igniter right there and changed it, but that turned out to be the igniter for the Broiler which wasn't broken. :-( In removing the old igniter, I cut the wires very short, so I had to buy another one. The moral of the story is always visit fixitnow.com before you attempt to fixit yourself. Next time, I will be ordering my Maytag parts here also. :-) Doug Hogg This page was very helpful.
