LDG3031ST LG - Overview

Took off the oven door then took out the racks and two screws in the oven bottom and removed it . Then removed the heat deflector. Then un plugged the old igniter and removed the burner to make it easier to remove the old igniter. Then installed the new igniter and reversed the process

As soon as my husband put it in the oven, the very thin prongs broke. There was no guard on either side of the prongs for protection like the one that had been in there. Very costly to us of $185 with no fix. Very disappointed in that ignitor. It would have been an easy fix. Had replaced one previously but it only lasted 6 months. Now we have a new stove

After consulting with multiple specialists, watching several videos/ tutorials online and trying multiple cleaning tools. They all coincided that if the stove was not wet and it is making that noise, It could be a problem with a switch board or the computer of the range. Ordering the part was the easiest part (and trust me, i am not a fixer or an expert on doing any repairs). However, PartSelect offers you precise parts if you know what you are looking for and have the correct model. The problem? Well, LG and Samsung ranges are known for their cook top being hard to dismantle and you need to remove a few pieces before you can get under the knobs where the switch boards are. It took a lot of time to just do that. The connection is a bit complex and I would suggest to leave it for an expect to do it. I must say this… i am glad that i have tried to work on the switch board before i started ordering parts that I did not need. I have over 5 hours with the range plugged, since i have switched the switch board and so far, it is not making that clicking sound. Ps. An expert was charging me from $180-250 to do an inspection and to order the part I needed and an extra fee for installing it. I certainly saved some money by just doing it myself.
