Aftermarket Replacement for Kenmore Gas Oven Range Ignitor Igniter Norton-501a

I got this for my old Tappan oven. The exact same item other places was more than double what I paid fir this one. You will have to add the electrical connectors your brand uses. Since it doesn’t come with the plugs needed and to remove the old wires would have broke the clip I decided to leave part of my old cord on the plug and splice it with the new cord. I only wish I had thought of it before spending over an hour trying to free the plug from the old wire. Works great, simple install. Definitely recommend this product!!!

My daughter's stove in the house she rents is very old, if I remember correctly, around 1998, the igniter out of her's didn't have any writing on it, so I had to try and find the right one by cross referencing, which wasn't easy because the model number of her stove is so old it was hard to find, but after a bit of researching, I finally was confident I found the right one at the right price, it's been a few weeks and all us good, the igniter works perfectly, and the old stove is back to working as it should. Take your time, if you do it yourself, and take pictures if you need to, before you take the okd one out, it's a fairly simple job. Just be sure you do it correctly, after all you are replacing something that makes fire, if you have any doubts, get someone who can be trusted with this kind of job, if you have to call a professional, but it probably won't be cheap and remember they make mistakes too, so for this kind of job make sure they're reputable. I would recommend the part, I really don't care if it lasts only a year, the job is easy enough that I wouldn't mind doing it again, but only time will tell how long it lasts, for the price, I'm not concerned, just look at any of the appliance websites, their prices are astronomical in comparison, then you have to pay for shipping.

Ordered a few of these for work when oven igniter goes out and they have worked well

My oven (Kenmore 790.72809012) was taking a long time for the gas to come on when pre-heating for a few months (10 minutes in some cases) even though the igniter was glowing. Then I noticed that it was having trouble coming back on when it needed to get up to temperature. A couple of times food was noticeably undercooked or taking longer to cook. About 2 weeks later, we turned on the oven to make dinner, and it wouldn't light at all even though the igniter was o. Definitely a dead igniter and this part was what I needed for a good price.I'd never installed an igniter or taken apart an oven before, so it was a bit of a learning experience, but it was not difficult to do. Basic wirecutting/wirestripping tools are needed in addition to the tools to remove the parts that are in your way. Once I figured out which parts to remove and had the right screwdrivers, etc, it took probably about 1 hour. If you are more familiar with the process, you could do it in 15 minutes.When I installed this, I had a very difficult time in getting the wire nuts to grip the wire well enough to stay on. I was able to install the part though, and it worked very well for about 4 days. My oven would light in well under a minute of the igniter receiving power. After four days, disaster struck.One of the wire nuts ended up falling off at some point in those first four days (maybe the heat from them being too close to the burner?, maybe it got jostled?) and that caused a big problem. As the oven turned back on to get up to temperature, I heard a loud pop and there was a smell of burnt out electronics. The igniter immediately lost power and the gas turned off. The wire must have touched something because it ended up shorting out the control board. I had to replace the control board and ended up purchasing another identical item to this. It is working well again, but the repair ended up being a lot more expensive than necessary, and I was without an oven for about a week.Long story short, this part works, but make sure the wire nuts are staying in place. When I installed one of these the second time, I made sure they were attached as well as I could and I pulled the extra wire down through the cavity in the bottom of the oven as much as possible. Hoping that keeping the wire nuts further away from the heat will keep them on longer.Good luck with your repairs!

just what i ordered and good price

Poele au gaz

Was exactly as described.

DCS propane stove

Installed easy,got my oven back,very decent quality for the price,will be ordering again to have on hand. Was not good for me to have someone else cook my Christmas turkey. A word of caution,do not under any circumstance touch the element with fingers, very fragile,and like car headlamps touched by fingers,causes premature failure. I only give a 4 rating because it's only been a week so don't know how long will last

Works great! Thank you
