pulled out the stove and removed bottom drip plates to access the old ignitor. Removed 2 screws after unplugging the two wire ignitor. fished the the two wires thru back of stove and plugged them in where old wires were. put the 2 screws back into the new ignitor and tested before replacing drip plates. been cooking in the oven ever since, no problem.. Part was a perfect replacement.

My gas oven would take a long time to ignite. It would also struggle to maintain temperature, and give false readings.
I removed the oven door first, then pulled the unit away from the wall being careful of the floors. I unplugged the oven, and turned off the gas feed. I worked on the thermostat first. I followed the wiring from the inside of the unit to the back panel, and disconnected the cable. Two philips head screws held in place - swapped it out for the new one - and there you go. Some insulation might also poke out when your snaking the wired through, so just tuck that back in as best you can. Then I moved onto the igniter. I followed the wiring, and disconnected it at the back panel. The igniter was held in place with two hex bolts ( I can't remember the exact sizing since I just kept going down in sizes until it fit snugly on the bolt head). The metal plate they bolt into was warped, but with a little persuasion from some pliers it was easy to bend for better access to the bolts. Be careful if you are doing this since the bracket is attached to the burner tube and too much torque is always bad for hollow metal parts. Attach and wire up the new igniter, still being careful to replace any insulation that creeps out. Plug the unit back in. Turn on the gas feed. Push it back into place. Replace the oven door - and there you go. I had also purchased an oven thermometer that hangs from the wire racking. I had the oven on at 350 for 30 minutes and the temperature never really swayed more than 15 degrees. It also heated up substantially faster.
Guests left the oven on for a week with pans of water trying to humidify the air, instead of just requesting a humidifier.
Removed to igniter, plugged in the new one and I was don’t. Do use care not to touch with bare skin the part that gets hot so you don’t get skin oils on the igniter that can cause it to burn up.

I have a problem with my oven. The ignitor wouldn't glow long enough to light the gas. So I purchased a replacement from you a few months ago and now the replacement is doing the same thing again. Is there something else inside the oven that is wrong or was it just a bad part that I received?
For model number WFG505M0BW2
Hi Arthur, thank you for reaching out. It seems that the igniter, part number PS12348439, is faulty. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. Sometime the igniters draw more current than rated and get damaged. We hope this information helps!
