ID: 174262

Description: The following guide will show you how to...

Steps:

1. Assess the stove to ensure the burners are in the off position.
2. The off position is marked on the dial. Each knob will have an arrow that points up to indicate the stove is "off".

3. Put on rubber insulated safety gloves.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the socket.
5. It is important to unplug the unit before disassembling the burner to avoid injury.

6. Remove the burner grate from the stove top.

7. Turn the burner in a counterclockwise direction to remove it from the range.
8. Don't yank it off as it is connected to the stove by two wires.

9. Inspect the wiring for any defects.
10. Frayed or exposed wiring can cause the burner to malfunction, leading to an electrical short in the unit.

11. Pull downward on the silver connector to unplug the black wire from the ignitor's white connection point.

12. Pull the yellow wire out by the silver connector from the connection point.

13. Push the black wire onto the new ignitor and the yellow grounding wire onto the connection point on the burner until both are securely connected.
14. Use caution when terminating the black wire onto the igniter. The white insulator is delicate and can break under too much force or if dropped.

15. Replace the burner so it sits flush with the stovetop.
16. Screw it in by hand in a clockwise direction.

17. Plug the power cord back into the wall.

18. Replace the grate and test the new burner to ensure the new burner is functioning properly.
