Hotpoint RGB745 Gas Kitchen Range

Oven does not light (by 11 users)

posted by jj07 on Dec 08, 2006


When I turn on the oven, the display goes to PrE (preheat mode) but the oven does not heat up. The ceramic igniters are cold, there is no smell or sound of gas. I hear a relay click in the control panel when I press Start. It is also dead in Broil mode: no gas, cold igniter. The range top works properly, so there is gas and electric. I could not find a schematic. Thank you in advance for your help.

The burners on the stove work fine, the broier heats up ok. But the baking part of the oven does nothing

I have a GE Hotpoint RGB745WEA1WW with the same problem. The board lights go on, there is a click, but the oven does not heat. Burners work fine.

even if the ingitor glows, and the oven wont lite, the odds are that the ingitor is bad. it must draw 3.2 amps to open the gas valve. the only way to test the ignitor is with an amp probe.
replacing the ingnitor is about 90% a sure thing.

Mine does the same... There was smoke for a bit coming from the range for a bit and the breaker tripped. I removed the control panel and lifted the relay daughter board and seen where the burnt component is. I'm ordering a new control panel today.

Same here. Spectra gas oven XL44. About 8 years old. Working just fine then for reasons unknown it just doesn't start now. Range works fine. When turning on the oven, there is no clicking sound, no firing up sound like there used to be. Nothing.

Yep....I have the same problem with my brand new LG gas range. Burners work fine. Oven pilot glows orange but no ignition. Tech told me to check gas line. Gas line is fine. Ignitor must be bad!?

I'm having the same problem with my Whirlpool Gold series. A tech is coming out on the 17th.

Comment by Guest, posted on Nov 01, 2007

I am having the same problem with my Spectra gas oven XL44. It is about 5 years old. It will not ignite for the oven. After many tries I did get the Broil to ignite, but not the oven.
