Top oven bake igniter comes on fine, but the gas does not come on anymore. At first oven was working, but we would smell gas after a few minutes, and we would shut oven off, wait 2 minutes, then turn back on. Now gas will not even turn on. Broiler works fine. Bottom oven works fine.
If the bake ignitor comes on (starts glowing) - check the amperage on
the bake ignitor wires when it's on. If the ignitor is a round style -
amperage should be 2.5-3A, if the ignitor is rectangular - 3 - 3.6A. If
less
than 2.5A or 3A respectively - replace ignitor. If the ignitor does not
come on - check the voltage on the ignitor, should be the line voltage
110-120v AC. Faulty gas valve is uncommon, but still a
small possibility. Ignitor part numbers for round style ones: 4342528,
WB2X9154, SGR403, 5304401265;
rectangular styles: 12400035, WB13K21, WB2X9998, SGR412, NR020,
5303935066, 814269, 9753108.
Ignitors of the same shape (i.e. rectangular) are interchangeable, if
you can splice the wires.
Good luck!
Check the voltage on the 2 wires going to the oven gas valve. If you get 120v when the ignitor is on with no gas coming out, you have a bad gas valve. If you get voltage, but it is not much, it is the ignitor. The ignitors don't burn out completely on the ovens, they just get a little dim and no longer ignite the gas and eventually will not turn on the gas valve

frigidaire gas oven-ignitor comes on but gas does or does not on a whim.
Have the same problem. Bottom oven works fine. Top oven bake burner does not light up.Igniter is on and fine.
