Frigidaire 5303935066 Burner Igniter for Oven Burners, Gold

Quality replacement part at a decent price.
Works perfectly and easy to install even for a noob like m.

Made by Roberstshaw in the USA. Tag says Robertshaw igniter model 41-205
I have a 20 year old Viking VGIC305 30 inch freestanding stainless steel range. I got good service from the original oven igniters but they are finally dying 20 years later. There are three igniters total in my 30 inch Viking range – 2 for the oven, one for the broiler. Your experience with the number of igniters may vary.I found dozens of igniters across the online spectrum from the Viking OEM model (~$165 EACH!!) to some suspicious Asian knockoffs for about $12 each. I was not spending almost $500 on three OEM Viking igniters for a 20 year old range. The truth about where the products are sourced is sketchy at best.This particular igniter on Amazon is listed as being made by Frigidaire and is a good example of the online confusion for country of origin and manufacturer. The ones I received from Amazon are actually made by Robertshaw for Frigidaire and probably a lot of other stove companies. Robertshaw is a 120+ year old American company based in Illinois that makes electrical parts, controls and valves to name a few. See my attached photos for the Robertshaw/Made in USA tag. The Robertshaw model is the one with the shorter ceramic body.The Robertshaw igniters I received from Amazon are identical to the ones in my Viking range minus the 2 spade clips on the wires. For $145 less (each) than the Viking OEM igniters, I added an insulated spade connector myself and connected it with ceramic wire nuts. Don’t use regular wire nuts, they won’t take the oven heat, could melt a cause a short and/or a fire. No bueno!The major difference between the OEM Viking, this Robertshaw model I bought and the Asian knockoffs I saw appearance wise is that the metal igniter element on the Viking and the Robertshaw is a flat rectangle. On the Asian knockoffs, it’s circular. I don’t know what difference that makes for the usability or longevity of the Asian models but I’d rather not find out.I bought three of these Robertshaw igniters and I’ll likely buy 3 more shortly down the road once I see how these new ones perform for a few months. (I bought 3 more at a later date).OEM Viking parts are like BMW parts – absurdly expensive – and the supply chain changes constantly. If Ireorder these same igniters in a year, they might be sourced from overseas or elsewhere or simply vanish from Amazon.The photo on the right hand side shows the old igniter with the longer ceramic body. The Robertshaw model from Amazon is on the left.I got the new ones installed and they work great. Oven heats to 300 degrees in about 12 minutes, more than twice as fast as the old igniters. Hope this data helps!

Works well, but missing nut
So ever since we moved into our hose, the gas oven (Kenmore) was very, very slow to preheat, and sometimes we would catch wiffs of gas. Finally it started really smelling badly like gas. After doing some research I removed the bottom oven pans and watched as my ignitor bar glowed a weak orange and saw that it took more than 3 minutes to ignite the gas, which then was a very weak flame.I ordered this replacement part, as the “actual” part from sears is literally triple the price and still doesn’t come with the connectors. As others have said, this replacement is as easy as follows:1) Remove the various covers on the bottom of your oven (simply remove a few screws)2) Remove the warming drawer (so you can get to the ignitor connectors)3) Unplug all of the various connectors that come from the ignitor bar. It helps if you take a picture before hand so you know what connections go to what.4) Unscrew the gas tube and remove the whole assembly (gas tube + ignitor bar + wires). This technically isn’t required but I found that it made things easier.5) Unscrew the ignitor bar from the gas tube (I had to actually hacksaw off one of the screws because the threads were completely stripped, but that doesn’t have anything to do with this product)6) Clip off both wires coming from the ignitor – clip them a couple of inches from the ignitor – having extra wire doesn’t hurt. Make note of which wire went to which connection on the ignitor so you can match it up with the new one.7) Strip ~3/8″ off of the ends of the wires you just cut.8) Use the provided ceramic wire nuts to twist the old wires/connectors to the new wires on the new ignitor. Note – this is why I gave this product only 4 stars. The ceramic NUT that I had was loose in with the bubble wrap and the other ceramic nut was no where in sight, so I ended up using electrical tape good to 220 degrees for that connection since ceramic wire nuts are not readily available at stores and I wanted to see if the ignitor bar was even the problem.9) Screw the ignitor bar back on the gas tube10) Feed all the wires and connectors back through the bottom of the oven and reconnect11) Reinstall the gas tubes. Turn on the oven and watch to match sure it’s all working properly. Mine did! My oven that used to take 30+ minutes to preheat now heats up to 400 degrees in less than 10, and now lights in approximately 30 seconds (instead of 3+ minutes, like before).12) Reinstall the covers on the bottom of the oven, and you’re done. Enjoy your new ignitor bar (and grumble about the fact that you received only one nut)

My gas oven works again!!

Very inexpensive and easy to replace the old one.

Worked perfectly on the first try. My oven now has a flame again.
