Lucas,

I take for granted, this is a top burner igniter switch replacement, correct ?

Here are some general instructions from the service manual, for your brand gas range,

First, remove power to the range or unplug the power cord.

(you may want to remove the oven door as well).

Remove the grates, burner caps, trim rings,etc.

Remove the screws, on the cooktop that hold the burner to the top.

With a putty knife or simillar tool, release the top hold down clips, by pushing in on the spring clips(2)and carefully lift up on the top (do not allow the burner oraface housing to catch or hang up on the cooktop when you raise it).

Once the cooktop is up slightly , you can pull forward on the top, to release it from the rear hinge assembly and set it aside.

Remove the four mounting screws on the
underside of the manifold panel. Remove the
burner valve control knobs by pulling them

straight forward off the valve shafts

Next remove the three ¼” hex head screws
securing the top of the manifold panel and

remove the panel.

With the manifold panel removed the surface
burner ignitor switches and harness are

accessible.

To remove the switches and harness from the
burner valves loosen the wire twist ties that
secure the wire harness to the manifold pipe. Pull
forward to unsnap the switch housing from the
valve. When replacing the switches make sure
that the switches snap securely and lock to the
valve body. The slack in the wire harness should
lay under the manifold tube and secure with the

wire twist ties.

Good Luck,

Happy New Year
:) :) :)


ous steps.

Lucas,

There is no bake burner igniter switch, that should be a circuit in the ERC/Clock.

Do you mean the bake burner "Glow Bar " igniter ?

Part number: AP2150412
Part number: AP2150412


Here are instructions for replacing the igniter assembly,


With the fan blade cover removed take out the

two screws at the rear of the oven bottom panel

Lift the rear of the oven bottom up approximately
3 inches and slide the panel toward the rear of the
range to disengage the front edge from the slot in

the front frame

Lift the front edge of the panel above the edge
of the front frame and remove the oven bottom

panel

Remove the two screws securing the front of the


bake burner baf
fl e to the range chassis. Lift the
front edge of the baf


fl e high enough to clear the
chassis and pull forward to disengage the rear
tabs on the baf


fl e from the slots in the oven liner.

Remove the baf


fle from the oven cavity.
With the baf


fl e removed the bake burner and
ignitor can be accessed for service

Remove the warmer drawer per the instructions
on page 7. With the warmer drawer removed the
wire harness plug connector for the ignitor can be
disconnected.


When replacing the bake burner
ignitor it is necessary to remove

the burner assembly

After the ignitor harness plug is disconnected remove
the two burner mounting screws and lift the
burner assembly out of the range. The ignitor can
now be separated from the bake burner assembly

by removing the two ignitor mounting screws.

When reinstalling the burner assembly make
sure to properly position the base of the burner
tube over the ori


fi ce spud on the oven gas safety
valve

To Remove Warmer Drawer:
1. Turn power off before removing the Warmer
Drawer.
2. Open the drawer to the fully opened position.
3. Locate glide lever on each side of drawer, pull
up on the left glide lever and push down on the
right glide lever (see Figure 1).

4. Pull the drawer away from the range.

To Replace Warmer Drawer:
1.


Pull the bearing glides to the front of the
chassis glide (see Fig. 2).
2. Align the glide on each side of the drawer with
the glide slots on the range.
3. Push the drawer into the range until levers
“click” (approximately 2”). Pull the drawer
open again to seat bearing glides into position.
If you do not hear the levers “click” or
the bearing glides do not feel seated
remove the drawer and repeat steps 1
thru 3.


This will minimize possible damage to
the bearing glides.
