Official Gibson gas range parts

Replacing the oven door lock assembly in your Gibson gas range

• Carefully pull the range forward and unplug it. If necessary, have someone assist you when moving the range. Shut off the gas supply to the range.
• Remove the screws that secure the back panel to the range. As you remove the last couple of screws, press the panel against the range so it doesn't fall. Carefully lower the panel to the floor and then set it aside.
• Disconnect all the wires from the oven door lock motor assembly. Remove the mounting screws that hold the door lock assembly in place. To release the door lock assembly from the connecting rod, pull the oven door lock motor assembly down and tilt it in. Remove the door lock assembly from the range and discard it.
• Tilt the new oven door lock motor assembly and insert the connecting rod in the opening. Work the assembly into position and screw the door lock assembly in place. Carefully connect all the wires in the right location on the new oven door lock assembly.
• Position the outer back panel on the back of the range so that the holes line up and screw it into place.
• Plug in the range and push the range into position. Open the gas supply cut-off valve. Ensure that the rear leveling foot is properly engaged in the anti-tip bracket.

What to do when a surface burner won't spark or ignite on your Gibson gas range

A surface burner igniter switch and a spark module activate the spark electrode when you turn the knob on a gas range's cooktop to the "light" position. If you don't hear the ticking sound of a spark jumping from the igniter electrode to the burner head when you start a burner, check the igniter electrode first. Clean the electrode if it's covered with spilled food. Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulation is broken.

If the electrode is okay, you may need to replace the igniter switch or spark module.
