This is a re-posting of my initial post from 8/28/10. Still looking for some suggestions on the correct Igniter part. Per this site and model number, part number AP2150412 (first image) is the correct replacement part. Saw another post re: an igniter issue and it looked just like the part above but with a plug like mine, not bare wires. That was P/N AP4012072 (image 2). Then while waiting for some advice on the installation and correct part, pulled the current igniter and found a third option (see images), a Norton 501A, a longer part with the plug. Unfortunately, this site does not have an image of this part to compare. So which part is correct for me? The bad news on the Norton is that it is not currently in stock but it may be the same part. Will one of the others still get it done? Just trying to avoid ordering all three at this point. Thanks Mackinaw attached the following image(s):

Specified by the manufacturers parts manual. Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the igniters all work the same, most mount the same and most use the same voltage , resistance and amperages. As you can see, most updated igniters measure 3 1/2 to 4 inches in length, and the longer units have more(longer) ceramic insulation but the carborundum igniter is the same length. Since you've removed the damaged igniter , I'm sure you'll be able to finish the repair once you decide which igniter you want to use. Good Luck, :) :) :)

Joe, Thanks for the post. Went with your suggestion. Works like a charm but I now have a large hole where the other ceramic piece used to fill (and scraps of unusable insulation). What insulation can I safely use? It is exposed to the flames of the burner. I have not been able to locate insulation graded to handle oven temps - checked with local hardware and appliance parts shops, to no avail. I only need a "chunk", the width and height of the actual ingniter, and about 2-3" deep.
Thanks

Thanks Mackinaw, A couple of things you may want to try. You may want to try rolling of stuffing the loose insulation back in and away from the opening(so it doesn't have the possibility of smoldering or catching fire(not a likely occurrence). And , or get a piece of flat lightweight sheet metal and make a cover plate for the opening, with a slot or hole for the wiring and a hole to mount it to the back wall. (some manufacturers supply a cover panel, some do not. I guess Tappan feels it's not necessary ?). :cool: :cool: :cool:
