At 62, bad knee and arthritis, it can be a bitch of a job. At 40, no big deal. Try www.repairclinic.com www.applianceaid.com for some help. |

There are no component repairs and hardly any adjustments anymore. My plan of attack will be to remove the igniter module and clean the parts. Take down the part number in case you need a replacement module. After cleaning inspect for loose parts or parts out of alignment (alignment as you would suspect in a spark plug gap). Reinstall and see if that works. If not replace. You would have saved a service call costing $70 or more. Before you install the replacement part compare its operation with the faulty one. You might learn something useful. |

That's where I once found a repair manual that helped me fix a dryer, and later, a washing machine. When I went to get the parts for these appliances, I found that the store sold the exact same books. So, if your library doesn't have them, call a few appliance parts dealers. |
