I’m spending way too much time on this hours and hours and hours. Off to buy a new stove. So erase me.

Part information

Test the repair

  1. Restore power and gas.

  4. Let the oven heat for a few minutes to confirm normal operation.

For readers looking to test their igniter, here’s a simple, friendly guide you can use for an Amana ARG7302L oven when testing and replacing the WP31940001 bake igniter, including the igniter shroud/heat shield.

What you’ll need

  • 1/4" nut driver or socket

  • Phillips screwdriver

  • Flashlight

  • New WP31940001 igniter

  • Work gloves

Before you start

  1. Turn the oven off.

  2. Unplug the range or switch off power at the breaker.

  3. Shut off the gas supply if you’ll be moving the range.

Quick test

  1. Set the oven to Bake.

  2. Watch the igniter through the oven bottom.

  3. If the igniter:

    • Doesn’t glow at all → likely failed or no power.

    • Glows but the burner never lights (or takes more than 60 seconds) → the igniter is usually weak and should be replaced.

Replacing the igniter and shroud

  1. Remove the oven racks.

  2. Lift out the oven bottom panel.

  3. Remove the flame spreader/metal cover above the burner (this is often called the igniter shroud or heat shield). Keep the screws handy.

  4. Locate the igniter mounted beside the bake burner.

  5. Remove the screws holding the igniter to its bracket.

  6. Pull out the storage drawer below the oven.

  7. Find the igniter wire connector underneath and unplug it. On some models you may need to remove a small access panel.

  8. Install the new WP31940001 igniter. Avoid touching the black carbide element with your fingers since it is fragile.

  9. Reconnect the wiring.

  10. Reinstall the igniter shroud/heat shield and any burner covers.

  11. Reinstall the oven bottom and racks.
