PRYSM WB2X9998 Range Oven Igniter Replacement - Compatible with General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA Ranges

Like others on here, my oven (an older Kenmore 790 stove) was having trouble and eventually just stopped heating up. The oven would fill up with a horrible gas smell and would never get hot. I suspected the igniter might be the issue. I found a great video on youtube by "DIY Homestead Projects" where he walked through swapping out the igniter. This was the product he recommended and it was significantly cheaper than the official Kenmore part. Unlike the igniter already installed in my oven, this one has a metal cage around the fragile carbon bit to make it easier to install. I was able to take out the old part, put this in, and get the oven working like brand new with very little trouble and experience fixing appliances. If you are having a similar issue as I did, or just think your oven is taking longer to heat up than it should, then this will definitely fix your problem. The only issue I had was with the Amazon delivery. This part is very fragile, and since the box was thrown into my backyard, I was nervous that it had already been damaged.

Satisfied.

Oh s*#%! The oven won’t kick. No gas even. Better call for a $100+ repair, right? WRONG. This was the best $17 and 20 minute investment since becoming a first time homeowner. Seriously. My father-in-law “accidentally” dumped about a gallon of water on our stove. The burners worked but the oven wouldn’t do a thing even after a week of drying it out. I figured I’d take advantage of the Amazon return policy and see if this might be the fix. After taking out the oven racks and a few hand tight screws I had access to the old igniter. Looked normal but took the two screws out and disconnected the wire cap connections. This igniter fit right up to the old screw holes. Our oven fires up every time and even the preheat seems to be faster now! Pros: Super easy install Low price product that works! Much less expensive than a repairman Cons: Father-in-laws P.S. I love my father-in-law.

I have a pretty new Samsung gas range and during a power outage a friend of mine was trying to manually light my oven. He had never seen an igniter before and thought it was a pilot light. Suffice it to say, he broke my perfectly good igniter when touching it. For your info, these igniters are made of carbon and are very fragile. The exact replacement from Samsung was going to cost me way over $ 100.00 so I tried this less expensive route and ordered the generic igniter. I ordered it on a Saturday, it was shipped via the Post Office and I received it on Monday. I thought that was really fast. It worked perfectly although I had to use the included wire nuts and splice my original wire ends onto the replacement. No biggie. My oven lights perfectly and I saved a lot of money.

Glad I ordered it....needed it

fixed the oven not igniting issue, however the shape of the element is not the same as the picture which is why I knocked off a star (looks no different than cheaper ones, which I would have gone with, but thought this one might be more durable from the picture, so wanted to try it) It's working anyway

Less than a year later and it's already not working.

The OEM oven igniter worked for over 10 years, and I have bought two of every two years and the second one just quit working the OEM are more expensive but they last way longer
