I have a new kenmore gas range/oven. When I turn the oven on, a lot (and I mean a lot) of heat comes out of the top of the unit, between the rear stove burners and the controls for the oven. It seems like too much heat to be coming out. Is this of concern or is it normal?

The reason the igniter would come on yet not let the gas flow is because the IGNITER IS WEAK and not drawing the proper power to open the gas valve. Replace the igniter nad the oven will work without having to tap on the valve
THERE IS A WHAT I CALL A GLOW PLUG IN THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN . WHEN YOU FIRST TURN YOUR OVEN ON THIS PLUG SHOULD GLOW RED AND VERY BRIGHT, IF IT DOESN'T YOU WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ITEM AND THAT SHOULD FIX YOUR PROBLEM. WHEN YOU FIRST TURN THE OVEN ON THIS GLOW PLUG HAS TO GENERATE A LOT OF HEAT TO LET THE GAS VALVE KNOW THE IT IS OK TO OPEN IF THE GAS VALVE DOESN'T GET THIS SIGNAL FROM THE GLOW PLUG THE OVEN WILL NOT COME ON
I have a Kenmore Gas Range, model 72503. #1 problem-the orficies were not installed properly; #2 problem-when I turn the top burners on, gas comes out before the ignitor comes on. I called Sears, they sent someone who said that the burners can't be adjusted. I feel this is very dangerous. This is a new 2011 model, made for Sears by Frigidaire. Who should I contact about this problem. Sears say it is out of their hands. Help!
Wow, this post is going to be extremely late. Actually, I was able to get a new control unit for my Kenmore gas range from Sears Parts Dirext for $156.06. That includes shipping and tax. The burners work without it. We just cannot use the oven until the new board comes in. It's very easy to replace. Remove the panel screws on the back (just the top) and you have access to unplug the unit and remove the 4 screws holding the assembly in.
My oven will not work. After pressing the desired temp on the oven, the preheat light and oven light comes on. After about 15 minutes, the oven is slightly warm and maybe an hour later the oven may or may not heat to desired temp. Kenmore gas range model #790.72851301.
What do you mean by the surface burners coming on. This is a gas range, correct? Do you mean that the flame comes on? Or does the spark come on and they don't light? Does the oven come on?
