My ignitor crapped out last spring, so I stopped by my dealer and picked one up today. Any tips or tricks for installing the new one?

I changed ours a few years back.
Ours is a corner install and I didn't pull it out to give me the room I needed to work.
The hardest part of changing it for me was finding the excess wire needed to pull it out
of the front was tie-wrapped in back. Once you release that wire, you will be able
to pull enough of the wire out the front to get to the quick disconnects.

I'm looking to buy a spare ignitor. How much did you pay for the ignitor? I wouldn't know what to do if I needed to replace it either. I'd be searching the forums instructions on how to replace it.

Thanks for the reply- after I cut the zip tie that held the ignitor wires, it was easy. Up and running with auto ignite again.
Mac- my dealer charged $99.50. It was pretty easy to fix. It didn't come with any directions, but if you maintain your own stove you should be able to handle it.
