KitchenAid KERC508L Igniter Fix
Whether yours is a gas or an electric version, the KERC508L, also sold as the KERC508LSS, tells its story through the oven first. Food cooks off schedule, or the oven glows and never lights. That is the sensor drifting or the igniter weakening.
We compare oven temperature with a thermometer to check the sensor, and we measure the igniter current to see whether it is strong enough to open the gas valve. On the cooktop we clean and dry burner igniters that click without lighting, or on an electric version test elements and infinite switches. Every test is done before parts are ordered.
Gas odor is never something to wait on: go outside and call the gas utility. We provide a written price first, and our work has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Ignition requires a strong igniter. If it glows weakly, it will not open the gas valve. We measure the current and replace the igniter if it falls short.
A reasonable oven stays close to the set temperature. If a thermometer shows a large gap, the sensor is a prime suspect and we test it.
The diagnosis is similar, but the heating parts differ. We identify your version from the rating plate and the oven floor, then test the igniter on a gas version or the elements on an electric one.
