David Nebenzahl

spake thus:

My Kitchenaid gas stove/oven is having a problem working as a oven. It
has electric igniters for the oven, one at the bottom for the main oven
and one near the top for the broiler mode. When I put it in bake mode,
the lower burners inside the oven are not lighting up. Broil is ok. The
stoves are ok. I supect the igniter has burnt out and got a replacement
on-line. The problem is how do I get access to the back of the stove to
replace it?

This may have already occurred to you, so my apologies if so: the last
time I had to disconnect a stove, it also had a short flex hose and I
couldn't pull it out far enough to access the connection. I was,
however, able to climb back into the space--just barely--and disconnect
it that way. If you or someone you know is skinny enough, try it. (After
all, someone got it connected in the first place.)
