How much does it cost to replace an igniter on a gas stove?
For the Magic Chef CGS3760ADW gas range, igniter replacement typically costs $150 to $400 total when you hire a technician (parts plus labor). If you do it yourself, you usually pay parts only, commonly $20 to $100+, depending on whether you’re replacing a surface burner igniter or the oven burner igniter.
What drives the total cost?
- Which igniter failed: surface burner vs. oven burner
- Part price: OEM-style replacement parts cost more than generic options
- Labor time: access can be quick or require cooktop removal
- Service call fees: many companies charge a trip/diagnostic fee
- Extra repairs: damaged wiring, a bad switch, or a weak spark module can add cost
Common parts that affect the price on CGS3760ADW
If you’re pricing the repair, start by matching the symptom to the correct part:
| Symptom | Most likely part area | Example part on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t ignite, gas smell, long preheat | Oven burner ignition | Igniter 74007498 |
| One surface burner won’t click/ignite | That burner’s ignition | Range surface burner igniter 74004053 |
| All burners keep clicking or won’t spark | Ignition control circuit | Spark module 8215557 |
DIY vs. pro replacement (what we recommend)
- DIY makes sense when you’re comfortable shutting off gas and power, lifting the cooktop, and reconnecting wires correctly.
- Pro service makes sense when ignition problems involve gas flow, multiple burners, or you suspect a control issue.
Why it matters
A weak igniter can delay ignition, cause uneven heating, and create repeated clicking or intermittent lighting. Replacing the correct igniter (oven or surface) restores reliable ignition and helps prevent nuisance shutdowns.

How to tell if a gas oven igniter is bad?
On the Magic Chef CGS3760ADW gas range, a bad oven igniter usually shows up as no bake heat, a very long delay before the burner lights, or an igniter that glows but never actually lights the gas. A weak igniter often cannot draw enough current to open the oven safety gas valve.
Common signs the igniter is failing
- Bake burner will not light, but you can see the igniter glowing
- Burner lights after a long delay (often 30 to 90 seconds or more)
- Igniter glow looks dull red instead of bright yellow-white
- You smell gas briefly before ignition (delayed ignition)
- Oven temperature is inconsistent because the burner cycles poorly
- Igniter is cracked, chipped, or has white spots/burn marks
Quick checks we recommend (safe and practical)
- Watch the ignition sequence: set Bake and look for igniter glow within a few seconds.
- Time to ignition: a healthy hot-surface igniter typically lights the burner in under about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Listen and look: if the igniter glows but the burner never lights, the igniter is the top suspect.
- Inspect wiring: with power off, check for loose or heat-damaged connectors at the igniter.
- Confirm with an amp test (best test): many round-style igniters need roughly 3.2 to 3.6 amps (and flat-style often 2.5 to 3.0 amps) to open the gas valve.
What to replace if the igniter tests weak
For this model, the oven burner igniter is commonly replaced as an assembly.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we typically replace |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter glows, no flame | Weak igniter (low amps) | Igniter 74007498 |
| No glow at all | Open igniter, wiring issue, control issue | Start with igniter 74007498 and wiring checks |
| Clicking at top burners (not bake) | Surface ignition circuit issue | Range surface burner igniter 74004053 or cooktop igniter switch WP74009532 |
Why it matters
A weak igniter can cause delayed ignition, poor baking performance, and repeated no-heat complaints. Replacing the igniter restores normal burner lighting so the oven can heat safely and consistently.

How do I find the model number on my CGS3760ADW?
On your Magic Chef CGS3760ADW gas slide-in range, the model number is printed on a rating label attached to the range body. Check the most common label locations first (door frame area and storage drawer area) so you can match parts correctly.
Where to look on a Magic Chef slide-in range
Check these spots in order:
- Open the oven door; look along the oven door frame (left or right side) for a sticker or metal plate
- Pull out the bottom storage drawer (if your range has one); look on the frame behind the drawer front
- Look on the lower side panel near the front edge (visible when you open the oven door)
- If the range is installed tight to cabinets, use a flashlight and look along the front frame edges
What the label looks like and what to write down
The rating label usually includes several identifiers. We recommend copying them exactly:
- Model number (for example, CGS3760ADW)
- Serial number
- Gas type (natural gas or LP) and BTU information
- Electrical rating (volts/amps)
Why it matters for parts
Many ranges share similar-looking components, but the correct fit depends on the exact model number. Once you confirm CGS3760ADW, you can choose the right replacement parts for ignition, baking, and temperature sensing.
| If you need to replace | Common part type on this model | Example part on this page |
|---|---|---|
| Burner won’t spark | Ignition component | Spark module 8215557 |
| Oven won’t light | Oven ignition component | Igniter 74007498 |
| Oven temperature is off | Temperature sensor | Oven probe 12001655 |
Quick tips if the label is hard to read
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth; grease can hide characters
- Take a phone photo and zoom in
- Copy letters and numbers exactly; avoid mixing up O and 0, I and 1
