While trying to swap out the igniter in my oven, one of the wires was stuck to the safety valve - and when it came off, so did the male connector from the safety valve.

Does the entire safety valve now need to be replaced, or is there a way to get that connector back on there? If it’s fixable, is that something a repair person is better off handling or are the steps simple enough for a novice to handle? If the entire thing needs to be replaced, that part alone seems to be $200+ and will likely consider just replacing the entire oven.

Thanks in advance! Someday I’ll learn I’m just no good at DIY...
