Ordering AP4012072 as I found one wire fused to the metal bracket holding the old igniter.
Question: I noticed the old unit has a heat shields on the wires. The replacement seems to lack the heat shield or do they now make a plastic coating that can withstand the temperatures? The photo for the part also shows a red wire included with the igniter. What is that for? Thanks

Thanks BReader, I hope the wire you found fused to the metal bracket, is one of the wires to the igniter, and not one that attaches to the Gas Valve ? Part number: AP4012072
The igniter kit you're orderring, comes with several additional parts, shields wire nuts,etc. they're there to allow for flexibility and a "one shot" repair, you can modify connections as necessary. It's best that way. You are correct, the High Temperature casing has been eliminated, from the new part, as it wasn't necessary, a cost saving decision by the manufacturer. You'll be fine once you order and replace the part. Good Luck, :) :) :)

Thanks for the quick reply to my question. Yes the wire that was melted was from the igniter. Whoever worked on the stove years ago pinched the wire when they were reassembling the small metal bracket that screws in against the oven wall. The unit began to pop the circuit breaker when you put the broiler on. A visual inspection showed the problem.
Thanks again for answering.
