Thank you!!!! I ordered and replaced the ignitor thinking that was the problem. But still didn't work. Watched your vid, clean the tubes, and now it works! Tube wasn't even super dirty, but I guess it may have been just enough for the gas to not flow though. This is what makes RUclips great! Real men sharing real solutions. Thanks!
All I can say is, God bless you. In the midst of COVID-19, NOBODY is coming out to fix the oven, but now it works. If you're ever in Cleveland and the pandemic is over, my family invites your family to come over for lasagna! Signed, Grateful in Cleveland.
People: You have to hit the thumbs up and leave a comment so that this video gets noticed by the algorithm. This fixed my non-working oven for free and it only took 20 minutes or so. This is fantastic information that needs shared.
Thank you so much for this video! My wife and I just bought our house and the oven wasn't staying on during preheating. I searched and searched and finally stumbled on your video! Followed your instructions and my oven works!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you!!! Saved us some money for sure!!!!
Appreciate this! It solved my issue as well. Tip: Put a large clip (I used a chip clip) on the wire when you unplug the igniter to keep the wire from falling through the hole!
Thanks for your video. My oven was not lighting but the top burners and broiler were lighting fine. I cleaned the oven ignitor rod (center electrode) and the surrounding cage which acts as the ground electrode. There is a small tip on the ground cage that is the closest point to the ignitor rod {center electrode), I cleaned that tip with sandpaper and adjusted the gap because it looked like the heat had expanded the cage a bit. Now the oven burner lights perfectly. As zee zee said below in his comment the ignitor uses a flame rod sensing system which uses the flame as conductive path. so it is important to keep the rod and ground cage clean.
This worked like a charm! Thank-you so much for posting this! The last time I had this issue I spent $35 on a new thermocouple, and this time I spent $0.
Great info and still valid. I just replaced igniter in Whirlpool oven. Ours would glow but apparently not hot enough to signal gas to turn on. I have no multimeter so cant verify if resistance was out if range. Purchased part from Amazon for about $32 and got in two days. Took about 5 min to swap part. Now lights and heats up beautifully. Thank you much for the video.
HEY! It worked! Whirlpool - ignitor clicking but not oven not lighting. Did not pull the ignitor all the way out, but followed your directions and sanded the thing clean. Had to reposition the gas burner once afterward - we had it angled away from the ignition. Got it settled in and it LIGHTS ON THE FIRST SPARK! Thanks, Adam DIY! Took a few hours today (too old and stiff to stay on the floor very long, but done in a day, and only paid a Mac&Cheese lunch to the brother who spent his knees and time on the project! YES! Don't need a new oven! Now, can we do the same thing with the stove top igniters?
Thanks for this video. The teardown instruction was great, but the removal of the oxidation was brilliant. I was on the verge of either buying a new oven or a $100 burner tube assembly. I think this fix may allow this oven to last a few more years.
I cleaned the burners on our stove on Sunday after watching this video. It's working great. My wife thought we needed a New stove. Thanks for making this video! You saved my lots of money!
Replaced the bottom igniter before I got to this video. Started reading through the comments because it was still doing exactly what this video describes. The real problem was overloaded bottom cooling rack. I had it stuffed to the gills. Took three baking sheets out. Works the first time every time.
Only video with this type of igniter (others connected wire nuts or wired connectors). The video saved me a great deal of frustration and the cost for having a technician make the repair.
This worked for me too. But mine was a bit more stubborn. Had been since new (a bad oven overall). I also drilled out the holes next to the igniter and closed the air vent down a bit. For the first time ever, the oven started on the very first igniter click. Very happy with the re-engineering.. Saved me from buying a new oven as I was ready to junk this piece of ..... Thanks for the how to. PS - have some duct tape ready to secure the igniter wire!
The reason you need to clean the igniter probe is that after the igniter sparks and it ignites the gas the probe measures the conductivity through the flame to keep the flame on. If it is dirty the resistance will be too high and it will not measure the right resistance so it will shut down or not ignite and the oven temp will fall down too far before it ignites again. So keep it clean by using fine sandpaper. It is important to know the reason why this is happening. If there is no ignition or spark then the igniter board is bad and need to be replaced. Not a big job, but a bit pricey.
@@jimlelan4906 Press the off button twice then start you will get in diagnostic mode (Off Off On).What error code do you get ? Check what error code responds to ? You can look those up on net. Does the stove igniter work? If it works then it might not be the igniter board b/c that board controls all igniters You might have a broken wire problem somewhere or the main board problem? Why did you replace both igniters you should have changed one first. This is an explanation why u need to clean the igniter. This is the reason why you need to clean the igniter rod or pin Most spark igniters use flame rectification to prove that the flame has fired. Flame rectification is a process where a low A/C voltage is applied to the flame rod, and when that flame rod is inserted into a proper flame, the voltage converts to a D/C voltage by traveling through the flame to ground.
@@zakyxzaky Thanks so much for your reply. The error code that I got was kinda weird. It looked like an upside down capital F, followed by a 5 (or S?), followed by another upside down capital F. Haven't found the codes on the net yet. All four of the stove top burners light, so i think the blue spark module on the back of the stove is okay, and like wise, the gas safety valve may be okay, but I'll need to check it for continuity when I get home and also see if it is a two part safety valve, one for the range, and one for the oven. I'll also need to disassemble the back of the range more fully to look for broken or burned wires. Sorry, I misspoke in my post above. I did not replace both igniters (broil and bake) yet. I did replace the igniter electronic 'board' with the two green (igniter?) capacitors(?) on the backside of the range top.. because wthere are two little 'snaps' from the (mother?) board that contains the clock, but nothing happens with the oven igniters sparking.
Does it matter if the rod isn’t completely straight? Say while cleaning it bends slightly but you’re unaware. Would it matter in terms of regulating temp or anything?
KUDOS!!!! I have the same ignition setup. Has been not consistently lighting for a little while. Am getting ready for Thanksgiving and it got worse the day before. Pulled the manifold out, and took the ignition off, and sanded down the electrode and the metal tip that the charge makes contact with and VOILA... worked like a charm. You saved me $50 on parts...THANKS!!!!
Wanted to let you know this video saved my wife and I a visit from a repair tech. Main oven wouldn’t light (clicked 4x and could smell gas, no flame). The electrode(?) was coated in black and I sanded it back to shiny silver. Thank you!
Thank you, you saved our 2017 Thanksgiving Day Meal! We woke up and it would not stay lit. Borrowed sandpaper from neighbor and got rocking n rolling on your simple to follow video... you rock!
Thank you so much for this! I saw another video showing how to install a new ignitor, but considering it is Thanksgiving DAY, your video showed me an option of cleaning it and not only saved having to replace the ignitor just yet, but the headache of how to find somewhere open to acquire it on a holiday. . . . . . . thanks for saving me some $$$$, time and headaches--not to mention the Thanksgiving Dinner, especially the Pumpkin Pies! One of the best repair videos yet. Thanks!
In this case the flame rod acts as a rectifier or diode. AC current is applied. If there is no flame, nothing happens. If there is flame and carbon particles, the AC plus arcs to the large ground. When the current reverses, the pulse cannot reach the tiny surface of the rod tip. DC current goes back to the control and tells the gas to remain feeding. A dirty rod interrupts the rectification.
I didn't take out gas tube or ignitor, but I did use sand paper 400 grit and a .17 cal barrel wire brush to clean ignitor. Before cleaning the ignitor would click at least twice before lighting, if it lite at all. Most of time it wouldn't lite, on/off til it lite. Now, first click and is lite. Thank you
Thank you. Still I'm the pandemic, can't have a repair guy come over, but I remember doing this well over 20 years ago on a different oven, but forgot the steps. Thank you.
This worked perfectly. I was at my wits end and was about to start buying parts. A few screws and some sandpaper and I’m back up and running!! Thank you so much for posting!
A very clever diagnosis. Our oven had slowly gotten to the point that it would not re-light on long baking cycles even though it was only two years old. We live in an area of very high humidity and the ignitor had corroded enough to weaken the spark sufficiently to prevent re-lighting. A little work with the sandpaper as the author suggested and voila! A perfectly working oven again, I take back all the curses and hexes I put on the Maytag people.
Thanks for sharing. I've been having problems for months and got to where I just quit baking. I know, lame. But today I've dug into things and I'm hoping this works. Thanks again for sharing :)
Helpful video, thank you! Our four month old oven just decided to not ignite on the bottom. No spark. Turns out the terminal connecting the igniter is exposed below the ceramic insulator. The extra racks that I was storing in the drawer were touching the terminal and shorting the pixies to the chassis. I'm thinking it might-could be why this happens intermittently. Filled under "good to know" I guess.
Thanks! We cleaned the ignitor and it worked. Thought we were golden. Put back together and not working. Took a few things out of the bottom drawer and reading your comment and it started right up.
I was able to fix my range using the info from the video and from some of the comments. I have a Maytag MGG8700DH2 and the oven was very slow to warm up. The burner would light but the flame was not very big. I cleaned the ignitor as shown in the video but I also noticed a little bit of debris in the burner orifice (the little jet that feeds gas into the burner element). Between cleaning both of those things the flame is now bigger and the oven heats much faster. From room temperature to 350 degrees takes about 10 minutes now.
Thank you!!! Did exactly what you did and it works perfectly!!!! I should have known because I had the same problem with my gas furnace..............clean the ignitor!!
Hey, I'd already ordered the parts, but your video allowed me to fix it in time to bake a cake for my twins' 5th birthday! The parts won't get here for weeek. Thanks, sir.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I was trying to bake a burger today and my bottom burner wouldn't ignite. I took the oven apart and sanded the ignition wire thing and put it all together and it worked. I was about to buy a new one because I had run out of ideas for what to do.
Perfect how to fix ignite r carbon build up BUT QUESTION why didn’t you remove the oven door? It gives you a lot more room to work Release hinge locks push door down on each side that will release the hinge take door off very easy.
Hi Mike here from Plus 8 Precision I just followed your tip and so far so good. The igniter seems to also be a flame sensor like on a furnace. Thanks for posting... Mike - Plus8Precision
My whirlpool would (usually) light and get to temperature, but would then fail to maintain after about 1/2 hour. I go back to check my meatloaf, or whatever, and the oven would be 190 deg. Was problem everytime. Now Starts and maintains temp everytime. Thanks so much!
That's exactly what I had to do, of course before I watched this video...got oven working (broiler didn't have an issue) put it together...and then it didn't. Guess I'll be taking it apart again. Great video....
Hi a couple questions, is there a way to test the electrode on a DSI? Our oven one will work periodically, even tried cleaning the tip which helped. Also does it matter the distance of the electrode the burner tube? Say if the electrode is slightly bent at all or does it need to be completely straight?
Like your video, my whirlpool oven lower level is working but upper one click but no flame, just like you said temperatures doesnt stay when I bake. Broiling is not working. If push the broiler head click and smell gas, what should do from here.
Thank you!!! I will try that on my son's Freind's oven he just got his own apartment, the oven doesn't work/ glow and the owner doesn't want to fix it .
@@tomstathis8653 No because ours was a mess somebody had already tried to fix it unbenotes to me so it was didn't look like his easy way. I gave up and have a barbecue and a toaster oven waiting to replace it lol.
You rock, dude! While watching this, I recalled a similar problem with my gas furnace a few years ago. Cleaned the flame sensor and BAM back in business. Thanks!
I'm curious as to why you turned on the broiler, almost every one of these that I've worked on the broiler doesn't come on when you bake. I do always test the broiler independently as if both bake and broil don't stay on I go to the spark module or harness
I changed out the igniter because on bake it would not ignite it still doesn't. Broiler does not even ignite I smell gas but no spark when I hit start button for bake I can hear igniter but it seems like it's coming from the stove top
Turns out the oven in our new place "didn't work" because the wire connecting the bottom ignitor was NEVER connected. Thanks to seeing how yours was connected, I was able to connect the ignitor (the ignitor was in perfect never-used condition). After not having an oven for 6 months, we can make bread! THANK YOU!
Good morning, I was searching how to fix my gas stove and I came across your video so I hope you're still available for advice. I have the same stove and about 2 months ago I started having problems with it not coming on at the bottom. The broiler works fine it comes on on every try and the stovetop burners comes on sometimes by themselves but must times with the light of a match. The bottom burner "the baker" do not light up with fire so I was told it was the igniter so I called to my local appliance stores and they wanted $60 to $70 for the part so I check my favorite shopping site "Amazon" and I bought the exact one I need for $5. When I got the part I put it on and it gets a spark and I smell the gas and it sound like it's about to come on but it shuts off and the stove still don't work. I tried cleaning the burner but to no avail. Does the broiler igniter has anything to do with the bottom igniter because I didn't replace that one. Before I go out and buy a new stove do you have any other suggestions I can try because for what a repair man would charge me I can add on another hundred dollar and buy a new one.
Thank you!!!! I ordered and replaced the ignitor thinking that was the problem. But still didn't work. Watched your vid, clean the tubes, and now it works! Tube wasn't even super dirty, but I guess it may have been just enough for the gas to not flow though.

Hi, quick question: I can see the igniter sparks but it doesn't glow or the oven doesn't heat up. Does it mean my igniter is working just fine? Thanks
Perfect step by step and it solved my oven problem as well!
You rock, dude! While watching this, I recalled a similar problem with my gas furnace a few years ago. Cleaned the flame sensor and BAM back in business. Thanks!
Thank you for the video!! Dirty oven igniter needed cleaning is all.
Not to mention the dirty oven and floor
I'm watching this from all the way in the United States Virgin Islands ! ! !
Good job!
Thanks dude. The sand paper did the trick.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
Awesome video! Oven works now lol. Thanks so much👌👍
Sanded my igniter clean. Works great now. Thanks for posting
Thanks Adam ,
I have been waiting for 429day for your video.
Thanks I will try
Thanks so much. Oven looks exactly like mine! Time will tell if it fixes my intermittent oven problems. R.
The Otterpop was the best!
Thanks for posting ….got my stove back cooking with gas!
My neighbors Range lights and goes into preheat mode but then goes out, not sure if its the same issue you had but going to give it a try
I'm curious as to why you turned on the broiler, almost every one of these that I've worked on the broiler doesn't come on when you bake. I do always test the broiler independently as if both bake and broil don't stay on I go to the spark module or harness
I changed out the igniter because on bake it would not ignite it still doesn't. Broiler does not even ignite I smell gas but no spark when I hit start button for bake I can hear igniter but it seems like it's coming from the stove top
Great video! Thank you!
Hi Adam I have the same stove my oven tries to turn on but then turns off what do you think could be.
Brand new oven. Pilot will not stay lit. Can I switch out the coupling rather than cleaning it?
Turns out the oven in our new place "didn't work" because the wire connecting the bottom ignitor was NEVER connected.
Thanks to seeing how yours was connected, I was able to connect the ignitor (the ignitor was in perfect never-used condition). After not having an oven for 6 months, we can make bread!
THANK YOU!
Fav videos, thank u
Excellent, worked great. Thank you
Good morning, I was searching how to fix my gas stove and I came across your video so I hope you're still available for advice. I have the same stove and about 2 months ago I started having problems with it not coming on at the bottom. The broiler works fine it comes on on every try and the stovetop burners comes on sometimes by themselves but must times with the light of a match. The bottom burner "the baker" do not light up with fire so I was told it was the igniter so I called to my local appliance stores and they wanted $60 to $70 for the part so I check my favorite shopping site "Amazon" and I bought the exact one I need for $5. When I got the part I put it on and it gets a spark and I smell the gas and it sound like it's about to come on but it shuts off and the stove still don't work. I tried cleaning the burner but to no avail. Does the broiler igniter has anything to do with the bottom igniter because I didn't replace that one. Before I go out and buy a new stove do you have any other suggestions I can try because for what a repair man would charge me I can add on another hundred dollar and buy a new one.
Hey, do you fixed the problem? Mine sometimes does the same.
Do not use anything like sandpaper on the flame sensor and ignitor. I suggest warn out scouring pad at most.
Have the same stove and thank you for video same issue
Thank you so much. This worked great!!
How many volts should go to the spark igniter inside the oven?
