Igniter on gas fridge is loose and cant connect how can i fix it

Replacing a surface burner igniter on a Jen-Air Gas Convection Range JGRP536 can be done by following these steps:

1. Turn off the gas supply to the range.
2. Lift up the cooktop and locate the igniter that needs to be replaced.
3. Remove the screws that secure the igniter bracket to the burner assembly.
4. Carefully lift the igniter bracket off the burner assembly and disconnect the wires from the igniter.
5. Remove the old igniter from the bracket and discard it.
6. Install the new igniter onto the bracket and connect the wires to the new igniter.
7. Reinstall the igniter bracket onto the burner assembly and secure it with the screws.
8. Lower the cooktop back into place.
9. Turn the gas supply back on and test the new igniter to make sure it is functioning properly.

Note: It is important to make sure the replacement igniter matches the specifications of the original igniter for proper function and safety. If you are not comfortable with performing this task, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified technician.

hi sir it ignites at the voltage bet 230v-250v.there will be a sensor problem where it cannot try to ignite try to clean ignitor area.. In a gas dryer, heat is provided by a gas heater that is controlled by an air shutter. The gas heater is generally the source of no-heat or drying problems. You can often correct such problems by adjusting the air shutter on the gas burner, which is located along the bottom of the dryer.
To adjust the shutter, take out the screws and remove the panel that covers the gas flame. Turn on the dryer so the flame is burning. If the flame has a deep blue color and you hear air whistling around the burner, the air/gas mixture is receiving too much air. If the flame has a yellow tip, the mixture is not receiving enough air. Turn the thumbscrew or loosen the two screws slightly to increase or decrease the flow of air to the burner. Keep turning until the flame is a light blue color, without any yellow, and the whistling stops.

Gas dryers use an electric ignition device rather than a pilot light to light the gas heater: An element becomes hot and glows like the filament in a lightbulb. Electric ignition systems are always sealed; you can't adjust or repair them. If an electric ignition device fails, call a professional service person for replacement.

Electric dryers have self-contained electric heating elements.

First, you may have to turn off & disconnect the gas line and line-bracket to the dryer (rear of dryer) (because the manufacturer saved by excluding a shut-off valve & disconnect in the unit). Disconnect the cable connector to the valve. Remove the screw(s) on the bracket holding the gas valve/burner/ignitor/etc.CAREFULLY slide the valve/burner assembly out of the unit. CAREFULLY remove the ignitor and replace (part # 279311). Re-assembly in reverse order.

FOR 45 YEARS OLD IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER TROUBLES REPLACE THE IGNIGHTER AND YOU SHOULD BE IN GOOD SHAPE. A NEW IGNITER RUNS AROUND 75-80 DOLLERS.
THE IGNITER HAS TO GET HOT ENOUGH TO OPEN THE GAS VALVE, IF THE IGNITER IS FAILING OR WEAK THE OVEN WILL NOT LITE.

The ignitor should slide into a small hole in the pilot burner which holds the spark gap to about 1/4 inch...likely slipped out of its mounting bracket....to verify the spark ...turn the heat on....the ventor will start....pull the spark wire from its terminal with a pair of insulated pliers and hold the wire about 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the terminal and you should see a spark within 30 seconds

Gas dryers utilize a gas valve, ignitor assembly, and a series of coils mounted on the gas valve to provide heat and safety. The gas valve coils are the usual suspect when it comes to a "No Heat" complaint. I have provided a checklist from www.repairclinic.com, for your convenience. They also provide disassembnly diagrams and repair parts.

Firstly, ascertain that you have made an adequate "Heat" selection, then read on:

Warning! To avoid personal injury or even death, always disconnect your appliance from its power source--that is, unplug it or break the connection at the circuit breaker or fuse box--before you do any troubleshooting or repair work on your appliance. Also, because some components may have sharp edges, use caution while working on your appliance.

If your dryer doesn't heat, check these:

Igniter
Gas valve coils
Thermal fuse
Igniter Modern gas dryers use an electric igniter to ignite the gas from the gas valve. When it's working properly, the igniter glows bright orange. When it burns out, the dryer tumbles but there's no heat because the gas can't ignite. When the igniter burns out, you need to replace it. If the igniter is held by a tension bracket, you very well may need to replace the bracket too.

The igniter is inside the dryer housing, near the bottom front, usually in a cone-shaped metal tube (the force cone). It's about 2 inches long. It's mounted to the far end of the burner tube, and it has two wires attached to it--or to the tension bracket, if there is one.

Gas valve coils Watch the igniter. Does it glow bright orange, then shut off without igniting the gas? (When the gas ignites there's a large blue flame.) If so, there may be defective coils on the gas valve. Mounted on the top of modern gas valves, there are black electrical coils. The coils, when energized, open the gas valve. If one or more of the coils are defective, the valve doesn't open and the gas cannot ignite. Because it's often difficult to properly test the coils, it's usually best to replace both (all) of them at the same time.

Thermal fuse On many dryers, there's a thermal fuse (a heat-sensitive fuse that blows if the dryer overheats) mounted to the exhaust duct inside the back cover panel. The fuse is about an inch long. It's usually embedded in black resin and mounted in a white plastic housing.

If the fuse has blown, it has no continuity. When this happens, your dryer either just stops heating, or it doesn't work at all. Be sure to inspect the venting/heating system before replacing the fuse to put the dryer back into operation. (You can't re-set this type of fuse.)

don't touch the surface of the igniter when handling it, and don't bind the mounting bracket when you tighten the capscrews, the bracket and igniter should be firm and no loose/movement if you try to move the bracket. also make sure the igniter is going back off after the burners light

If it does not heat , and you already checked the burner and the ignitor, then it is probably the thermal fuse at the back of the appliance.

See the following suggestions from Repairclinic:

The oven ignitor is more than likley your problem. It has to draw a certain amount of amps to open the gas valve all the way. If it is weak it may not be doing it's job. The part number I have for this ignitor is 316030600. It's located under the flame spreader in the oven. One other thing to check is the burner itself. This would be the tube that the flames come out of. Make sure that is is not rotted or plugged. Catriver
