My Fridgidare gas stove model FGF348KSG trips the GFI when I try to turn the oven on.

Good morning, try plugging the unit into a regular outlet. GFI outlets are notorious for tripping when used with large appliances. They are very touchy for safety reasons. A large current draw could be interpreted as a short and will trip. Hope that helps.

Hi,

The ignitor is not working right and is going bad....

Have 10 year old fridgidare elec.oven. Model no.FEF355ASE and both bake and broiler have stopped working have power and ohm's are good. Whats next ?

With the older models of self-cleaning ovens one could put aluminum foil on the bottom tray of the oven, but with the newer models there is a warning (hidden in the last line) of your booklet for models of stoves where aluminum foil should 'not' be used! Even though print in small and many consumers are complaining regarding their stoves and melted aluminum stuck to the bottom tray of their oven (nothing will get it off) all manufacturer do 'not' cover this problem under warranty and thus, it will cost you money to buy a new tray. You unscrew the two screws to the bottom of the damaged tray of your oven and then install the new one and put back the screws. Letters of complaint should be written to the manufacturers to have them put this warning in clear bold print right on the front cover of the instruction brochure.

I have an electric oven that is turning on but not heating up. The oven, broiler, & stove top are not heating up. Any easy solutions to this?

my oven won't get hot - pilot or more serious?

My bad, yours is an oven.

I found the Owner Manual, but could not find the Installation Manual. Do you have it, and does it say to hook the oven to a GFI protected power source?

Just because of the way the electronics work in the oven, and the way the electronics work in the GFI, I don't think that they work together. The oven is a permanent appliance, so I don't know of any reason it would need it.

How long have you had this oven installed, and connected to the GFI? Has anything changed, like you washed the oven down and got water inside it. Is a non GFI circuit available nearby where you could wire the oven?

Let me know what you find. It's been awhile since I looked at a new Electrical Code (NEC) book, and even with that, you local ordinances can over ride the NEC.

i am having the same problem but i have been told it is the cooler fan so i have ordered a new one,the fan unit requires running as it is linked to safety sensors the equal air preasure and if not equiled by the fan moter it cuts everything off and in my case it trips the mains power but may not in your case

disconnect the wires going to the oven ignitor,turn the unit on see if its trips.if so the ignitor is shorted if not then disconnect the wires that go to the coil of the gas valve and do the same.i think either one of these is your problem.also if theres a fan in the oven do the same.
