What company makes Magic Chef stoves?
Magic Chef stoves (including the Magic Chef 91F-4KLX gas range) are sold under the Magic Chef brand; the brand is currently owned by CNA International Inc. If you are matching parts for your stove, the most important detail is the exact model number on the rating label.
Magic Chef is a brand name used across different appliance types and production eras. That means the company behind the brand and the factories building specific models can vary over time, but your model number (91F-4KLX) is what ensures correct part fit.
- Find the rating label and copy the model number exactly: 91F-4KLX
- Match the model number when selecting parts like an igniter, oven bulb, or door seal
- If your label is worn, compare the burner layout and oven door style to parts diagrams
- Use the same model number when ordering common service parts
When customers ask who makes a stove, they often really need help identifying service parts. For the 91F-4KLX, examples include:
| What you are fixing | Common related part | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat | Oven igniter 12400035 | Ignites gas at the oven burner |
| Oven light is out | Oven bulb 8009 | Interior oven lighting |
| Door not sealing well | Range oven door seal | Heat retention and bake performance |
Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong Magic Chef range parts, especially for ignition and oven heating components where fit and electrical ratings must match.

Where is the igniter on a Magic Chef gas stove?
On the Magic Chef 91F-4KLX gas range, the oven igniter is mounted inside the oven cavity at the burner; it sits next to the oven burner ports so it can glow and light the gas. It is accessed from inside the oven, not from the cooktop.
- Bake (oven) igniter: on the oven floor area, attached to the bake burner tube, usually toward the rear half of the burner
- Broil igniter (if equipped): at the top of the oven cavity near the broil burner
- Surface burners: use spark electrodes at each burner (not the same part as the oven igniter)
If you are replacing the bake igniter for this model, the correct part is the oven igniter 12400035.
- Turn off power to the range at the breaker (the igniter circuit is electrical).
- Shut off the gas supply valve.
- Remove oven racks.
- Lift out the oven bottom panel (if your oven has one) to expose the bake burner.
- Locate the igniter mounted to the side of the burner tube; follow its wires to the connector.
| Symptom | Most likely igniter location | What it points to |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat on Bake | Bottom bake burner area | Weak or failed bake igniter |
| Broil will not light | Top broil burner area | Broil igniter or burner issue |
| Surface burner clicks but will not light | At the surface burner head | Electrode, cap, or gas flow issue |
The igniter has to draw enough current to open the gas valve and ignite the burner. When it is weak, the oven may take a long time to light, heat unevenly, or not heat at all.

Where is the model number on a Magic Chef gas stove?
On a Magic Chef gas range like model 91F-4KLX, the model number is usually printed on a rating label attached to the range frame. We most often see it around the oven door opening, on a side panel, or on the back of the range near the lower area.
Look for a paper or metal tag with the model and serial number in these spots:
- Along the oven frame behind the storage drawer (remove the drawer to look)
- On the left or right side of the oven door opening (open the oven door and check the frame)
- On the back panel of the range (lower section near the gas line area)
- Under the cooktop lip (lift-up cooktops on some ranges)
- Inside the broiler compartment (if your range has a separate broiler door)
The label typically includes:
- Model number (example: 91F-4KLX)
- Serial number
- Gas type (natural gas or LP)
- Electrical rating (volts/amps)
| What you need | Why we need it | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures parts fit your exact range | 91F-4KLX |
| Serial number | Helps match production changes | Varies |
| Gas type | Prevents burner and regulator mismatches | NG or LP |
Magic Chef ranges can have similar-looking versions with different igniters, door seals, or racks. Using the exact model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time.
If you are troubleshooting “oven won’t heat” or “no ignition,” the correct igniter is model-specific. For this model page, a common replacement is the oven igniter 12400035.
