Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discol

Nutdriver, Socket set
Replaced bake igniter only as recommended by others, no need to buy the whole unit. The bottom screw is difficult to access, use a 1/4 inch socket set with 8 mm socket. Advice to remove bottom storage drawer to make sure wire is connected to the igniter. So far it works fine.

The first thing you need to do is remove the racks from your oven.
Then look around at the back of your oven for the screws that hold the bottom pan down.
Remove those screws and remove the pan. Some need to slide back and then come up others will just pull up.
Remove the heat shield that is over the burn ... Read more er.
Remove the bottom drawer of your oven.
Now you should be able to see the igniter that sits on an angle by the burner tubes with a couple of wires coming out of it.
Removing the screws that hold the igniter is probably the most difficult part with some ovens. Sometimes it is easier to remove the whole bracket that holds the igniter and then remove and replace the igniter out of the oven.
The wires for the igniter will go to a Molex plug. Follow the wires and undo the plug. On many units it will be below the oven in the drawer opening at the top back. You will need to lay flat on the floor and reach back in to do this.
Once you have the old igniter out then you can carefully install the new one.
Check to make sure that you can feed the Molex plug and wires down through to the bottom before fastening the igniter.
Once the igniter is secured and the plug is connected, you can then replace the other parts in the reverse order that they came out.

We took the door off and took it and the side panels to the local dealer and he put them on for us - for anyone needing to replace the side panels on the over, be aware they slide under the glass front -not over it like we tried to do. We thought, though, that we were going to have a buy a new stove but for a little over $70. 00 We got
