SupcoGas Igniter for Stove Range, Replacement Part No. SGR403

When you've had the same gas stove for 20+ years and your wife use the oven, the igniter will go out when there's food to be made or in the process of being made.This time around the wife was preheating the oven to make a dessert and the oven was taking forever to preheat. Luckily, the last time it went out, I had ordered 2. I was the hero for fixing it quickly.After it was installed, I grabbed a beer and ordered another one to have on hand for the next time it goes out.

Should be a little cheaper

Hopefully I received then Halloween version this time. My last two igniters went out on Christmas Eve both times. True story.

Works perfectly in my oven. No need to call a service man as it's fairly easy, with plenty of youtube videos for instructions. The wire with the spade tip was about 3 inches too short, so I cut off the spade tip and spliced it with the wire from the oven. Other than that, it was a fast, easy replacement, saving me hundreds of dollars for a service call. (A serviceman will also charge you MORE for this same part, just as with auto mechanics when you let them do the work. Extra profit for them.) I didn't need the extra metal piece that comes with it.Get the right tools when you repair something. It's a good investment, even a cheap set of socket wrenches. Don't try using pliers or whatever you have laying around. I saw someone who thought they could change the oil in their car with pliers. She messed up the drain plug so badly that I couldn't get a socket over it, so I had to use a hammer and chisel along the sides of the plug to rotate it out. (I wouldn't let her try using my chisel as I was sure she'd hit the oil pan, causing a leak.) Then she wanted to put the same drain plug back in afterwards. I talked her into buying a new plug. She could have bought a socket set for the same price as a plug from the dealer.

I have an oven that needs an igniter every ten years or so. This product was the least expensive of several I shopped for. But it is the same part everyone is selling. It fit my oven and took five minutes to install. So far so good.
