How to Install a Glow Bar on a Gas Oven

After regular use of your gas oven, one of the burners, also known as a "glow bar," may become damaged or clogged. If the burners are not properly functioning, gas cannot properly flow through the burner and heat the oven upon ignition. To restore the range, you must remove the old burner and install a new one. Fortunately, replacing the burner is a quick do-it-yourself project that only requires a screwdriver to complete.
