Modern gas ranges rely on an igniter to light the burner.
- Unplug the range from the wall outlet.
- Remove the burner grates and the burner caps from the top of the range.
- Remove the screws securing the burner bases to the stove-top, then remove the burner bases.
- Insert a putty knife between the front sides of the main top and the cabinet to release the spring clips. Lift the top up and secure it using a sturdy object.
- Remove the bolt securing the gas orifice containing the faulty igniter to the burner tube, using an open-end wrench.
- Turn the orifice over, then remove the screw securing the igniter to the orifice. Pull the igniter out of the orifice, then disconnect the wire from the igniter's terminal.
- Connect the wire to the new igniter, then secure it into the orifice using the screw that was removed.
- Secure the orifice to the burner tube using the bolt that was removed.
- Lower the range top and press it down to engage the spring clips.
- Replace the burner bases, securing them using the screws that were removed.
- Replace the burner caps and grates.
- Restore power to the range to complete the repair.
