    I have a similar problem however cannot hear the ignitor clicking. When I tried the broil function the top element comes on but the oven doesn't light and the ignitor doesn't click. Any ideas on how to fix this if it is a problem with the ignitor for the lower burner?

Try using the 'broil' function to see if the upper burner will operate. If is does, the ignitor for the lower burner may have failed causing the range to keep the gas supply shut off to prevent an explosion.

Whirlpool WFG371LVB gas oven won't stay on. Already replaced igniter. Any other suggestions?

I believe you need to replace the direct spark ignition module, but refer to the note below.
Direct spark ignition module. NOTE: This part is often misdiagnosed. Use the wiring diagram and check for an open circuit through the gas valve. Also inspect the igniter and burner tube.

My Amana gas oven won't heat up gas smell strong

Sounds like a sticking gas valve or a defective hot surface igniter. Open the broiler drawer or remove the bottom cover in the oven compartment. The oven usually has a hot surface igniter or a spark igniter. Turn on the oven and watch for the hot surface igniter to start glowing. It should glow very bright. Once it is glowing the burner gas should come on. If you hear the gas come on it should light right away. If there is any delay shut off the oven and stay back. Let the gas clear out then inspect the area near the igniter and make sure the burner is not plugged(the little holes may have debris in them). If you turn on the oven and the igniter comes,glows brightly,no gas is heard but you can smell gas it is either a blocked burner orfice/assembly or sticking gas control valve. Try giving the burner and gas control valve a tap and see if it comes on. If you tap the control valve and it starts working then shut of the oven and try it several times. If it starts to come on and off now you may have cleared whatever debris was causing the problem. If it does it again then it could be the control valve or a weak hot surface igniter. The igniter can be tested with a ohm meter. Most of the time when I get this complaint it is the oven control valve that is sticking. Be very careful when doing these procedures....gas can build up in the oven compartment very quicky and flash if ignited. Always have the gas shut off valve at the back of the range within reach and the electrical outlet in case you need to unplug it.

Thermostat seems ok, but gas won't flow from oven burner.

Hi, Even tho the ignitor is glowing, it is getting weak and will need replaced. The ignitor is not pulling enough amps to open the gas valve.
This is very common problem with the gas ovens.
If I can assist you further, please let me know.

Ignitor problem with gas oven

The spark ignition coil is failing. As this is an oven, it can be dangerous not to have a strong ignition spark. A gas buildup in the oven could cause an explosion.
You should replace the spark generator coil which is located at the back of the oven and is usually orange/black or blue in color. Ariston usually use ITW Ispracontrols ignition coils.

Oven won't work

You cannot afford to take chances with gas of any kind, I must first suggest that you get a registered expert to sort out your problem. because you need to know and be sure that there is gas in your bottle, that you have the correct regulator and pressure, that the oven is set up for bottled gas as the jets are different sizes to normal town gas but all these measures can have disasterous effects if you get it wrong
