I had no problem replacing one of the bake ignitors on this built in range, since in only required removing one of the front plates. I need to replace both broil ignitors as well, and I don’t see how to do it. Disconnecting one of the ignitors and pulling gently still leaves the connecting wires and wire nuts somewhere inside the side wall of the oven, and there is no obvious means of access. How do I get access to the connections so the replacement can be done?
