What is a glowbar???

Yeah- repairclinic.com . Buy 2 so next time you're not without a oven for a few days- and you'll still be ahead of the game.

I'll check it out. I was hoping to find a local place but that's probably not in the cards.

What is a glowbar???

It's the pilot light on an oven, but it works with electricity. Seems to be the thing that goes out often on gas models.

Sheesh, what folks expect...

Great prices and service. I ordered parts Sunday night and Fedex brought them this morning (SE Iowa).

Hi, Isn't it called hot surface ignitor?

Sounds right. GE = Glowbar. Name of part.

Some call it a Glowbar Igniter

I checked them. Better price but I keep seeing the part for $29.95 other places.

Check the guarantee- especially with those things as they are sometimes shortlived.

Google the thread "Are all Bake igniters created equal?" from 2001.

I had just bought an igniter from repairclinic and it failed in 6 weeks.

Dan O. reminded me of the warranty- and I posted this followup; JE> Sure enough. I emailed them last weekend.

And BTW- the 8 year old one is still working.

I'll repeat my kudos to an outfit that has their business down pat.

But for the price I can order 3 off of eBay...

I was looking at the wire caps and it looks like a special kind of tape they used to secure them.

Know anything about that?

Crude, gutter mouthed home owners call them glow bars.

No.

I use ceramic wirenuts- and no tape.

Thanks...good idea.

Just ordered 2 glowbars off of eBay for $48.85 with shipping.

Doesn't sound like a huge markup to me. That's about what I'd mark up a part around that price when I had my own business. That's about middle of the road for me. Higher priced items got a lower percentage mark up. Cheaper items got a higher mark up. I recall 1/2 watt resistors that cost me $0.007 each I sold for 25 to 50 cents. At 50 cents that's

Well...I found them online for $19.95. I can buy 4 online for that price. Even if one is defective I've got three to replace it with. I can't see the logic in paying $80.00 + 8.25% sales tax.

I bought 2 online and with shipping it came to $48.85. ~

I generally get my appliance parts at 1st Source at 2335 Kramer Lane,

HTH.

Thanks, I bookmarked em. I'll check them out next time.
