Review on ๐Ÿณ Elevate Your Cooking Experience with Electrolux 316489403 Oven Igniter by Prince Ruffins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's not what they sell you. No connector, different part.

Well that was a disappointment. In several directions. Firstly the part they are selling does not match the picture. See attached picture: The original (below) has an open igniter and a plastic plug. The replacement (above) was enclosed in a metal cage with no plug. Also note the two metal covers (two holes in each) for attaching to the stove instead of just one. Second, there is no plastic plug. I had to cut wires from a broken original part that I kept (and luckily still had with me) and make new connections. It's not the end of the world, but the wires in the replacement were quite different than the original, so the connection wasn't trivial. Third, the replacement comes with two pieces of metal instead of one. This isn't a big problem, other than touching the bottom of the oven and making it difficult to line up the holes where they need to be bolted to the oven. So I had to bend one of the valves so nothing would break. The metal sign is hard so it took several tries. Fourth, the holes for the two screws do NOT match the original, so I had to attach the igniter with just one screw, not before trying it for a while, dunking the depths of my oven. No fun. I'm giving it two stars because it works (have tried once so far).

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
