IGNITER
If your gas oven is not heating, the igniter is the most likely the
cause. This is a simple gas oven repair. To check the igniter, remove
the storage drawer and the bottom of the oven (only if you are working
on the bake burner). Now turn on the oven and observe, from a distance,
the burner that is not heating. In a minute or so the igniter should
glow red. If not, unplug power from oven. Then unplug the igniter and
using your ohmmeter ,check to see if you have continuity between the two
wires going to the igniter. If you don't have continuity, replace the
igniter. If you do have continuity the igniter is still the likely
problem, If you turned on the oven and the igniter did glow red, the
igniter still is most likely the problem. This video will walk you
through
properly testing an oven igniter.
You have to have an amp meter to check for sure, but I would not
suggest buying an amp meter just to check this because 99% of the time
its going to be the igniter. So I suggest just replacing the igniter.
For those of you that already have an amp meter, clamp the amp meter on
one of the wires going to the igniter then turn on the oven. If your
igniter is round, the amp meter should read 2.6 to 3.0. If you have a
flat igniter then the amp meter should read 3.3 to 3.6. If the amps are
not in this range, the gas valve will not open to release gas to the
igniter. To repair this, replace the igniter.
BURNER CLOGGED
This is another simple gas oven repair and it's one thing you may need to check before you change any parts. The
burner
has a lot of small holes that connect the flame all the way around the
burner. If one of these small holes is stopped up, the burner will not
light properly. To repair this, simply use a large needle or thin wire
to clean each hole out. Note that this is not a very common problem but
if this does fix your oven, it will save you a lot of money.
GAS VALVE
If your gas oven is not heating, the
gas valve
may be your problem. If your igniter isn't bad then the gas valve is
the problem. This is a very uncommon failure in most ovens. But this is
not a simple gas oven repair and it's best if this is changed by a
professional because if the gas valve leaks it can be a major fire
hazard and you have to adjust the valve to the kind of gas you are
using.
Main Control
This is the last thing to check. If you have no power to the igniter when the oven is turned on the
main control
is the likely problem. On glowbar style igniters if you have no reading
and there is continuity of the igniter replace the main control. On
ovens with electronic igniters (these are the ones that click) these
ovens have a separate spark control module that sends the power to the
igniter. This can be difficult to check but in general if you have no
power reaching the igniter the spark module or igniter module (there
are many different names for this part) would need replacing.
