Oven will not heat up

When the bake igniter becomes weak or burns out, your oven will not bake. The bake igniter is usually mounted on the oven burner. It's about 1 inch by 4-8 inches (depending on the model), and comes in round or flat styles. If you don't see the igniter glow at all, it's probably burned out. Replace the igniter if found defective. Note: one of the exceptions could be that your oven is set to automatic mode instead of manual. If this is the case, set your oven to manual mode and check again.

If the bake igniter glows red and not bright yellow or white, it is probably because it is too weak. When this happens, the safety valve would not let the gas out into the oven burner. A weak igniter must be replaced.

A faulty igniter is probably the most common cause, however there are others:

-- defective thermostat(located inside the top area of the units body structure)
-- defective selector switch(located on the control panel, or part of the integrated control board key pad.)
-- defective gas safety valve(located on the gas valve assembly)
-- defective gas valve coils(located on the gas valve assembly)
-- defective flame sensor(located on the gas valve assembly)



NOTE(If everything checks out ok with the ignitior, and burner/valve assembly, this will lead to a failing control board)
