We were using the oven and then it just quit working. It wont lite and the gas does not seem to be going thru it. The top burners work and the igniters work on top, just not the oven.

Same Problem

-   I have a kitchen aid convection oven. The repair man told me most likely the glow rod is bad. The oven will not heat but the broiler still works. He told me to take out the oven pan and it would be right there. I don't know what to look for. -   acatslady

-   I have a Roper model TGP305KW0 with a similar problem. Sometimes the oven lights after about 15 minutes, sometimes after an hour or more, and sometimes it just never lights. Sometimes it lights, but when it reaches temperature and shuts off, it doesn't relight. The igniters seem to glow a bright orange in each case. -   Hungry 4 pie

-   Our Roper stovetop works fine. The oven igniter seems to be working. It glows. There appears to be no gas coming through. Hence, the oven does not heat up.-   larrpowell

-   I have a Roper 1265LOA gas range and the oven is not lighting fully. It has a spark ignitor and does generate a small flame but the large burner is not igniting nor does it seem to be getting any gas. The small flame heats the tip of metal rod that is mostly covered in a ceramic tube and has a line or wire that runs back into the oven. Maybe this is some kind of sensor that isn't working?-   lord_greebo

First look to see if the ignitor is coming on. Most common problem is the ignitor is weak or just bad. When the power is applied to the ignitor it glows and builds up resistance to open the gas valve then it lights. If the ignitor is weak or bad it will not build up enough resistance for gas to come into the burner. One sign of this would be a "woosh" sound when it trys to light. If the ignitor is coming on but not lighting it is most likely the ignitor is bad. Should have a full glow. Also, if the ignitor looks whiteish in color this is a sign of it going bad. You can compare to the broil ignitor to be sure. If the ignitor doesn't come on at all will need to see if you have power to the ignitor. Let me know what you find and let's solve it before you rate the solution.

I'm having the same problem, but I can't even see if the igniter even tries to glow.
