Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter


heatman101

OVEN DOOR IS LOCKED AFTER I FAILED TO CLEAN IT.

Check the amp draw on the ignitor/glowbar. It should be at least 3.2 amps or it won't light the oven. You may think it is working because you can see it glowing but it could be weak.

The F10 indicates that the electronic oven control board senses a runaway temperature condition in the oven through the oven sensor circuit.
This can be caused by a faulty oven temperature sensor probe or a failed electronic control board.
Oven temperature is detected by the control board as it monitors the resistance through the oven temperature sensor circuit.
You could have a failed oven temperature sensor, a wiring harness failure, an open thermal switch or a failed electronic oven control board that would cause this problem.
The first component to check would normally be the oven temperature sensor probe.
If you have a volt/ohm meter, you can shut off the breaker for the range and remove the screws that mount this sensor to the back wall of the oven.
Carefully pull the wire harness into the oven cavity until you get to the wire harness disconnect plug.
You should have enough slack to pull it this far into the oven.
Disconnect the sensor but do not let the wire harness retract back through the back wall of the oven or it will be hard to reconnect.
Measure the resistance of the oven temperature sensor with your volt/ohm meter. At room temperature, the resistance should measure around 1100 ohms.
The resistance chart is shown in the image below.

If the resistance is above 2200 ohms at room temperature, then the sensor probe is causing the F10 error code and will need to be replaced.

You can order a new sensor probe from the Sears PartsDirect website. The part number for the sensor is 316217002.

If the resistance is normal, then one of the other causes mentioned above is producing your F10 code.
You would need to access the electronic oven control board (Timer) in the console and check the resistance at the sensor circuit connection to the control board as the next step in troubleshooting this problem.

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter


heatman101

Replaced the igniter. The parts guy told me that the amperage changes with age and use; thus the igniter still glows, but it takes much longer to operate the gas valve with the reduced amperage. Cost - $70.14

Hello,error code f5 means temp too hot Replace oven temperature sensor


Thanks

it means the electronic control unit is defective

Hi,
The most likely problem is that the bake element would have gone bad.Check the wiring that comes off the control board. If you have an ohm meter check the continuity of the bake element if there is continuity then replace the electronic control.If there is no no continuity replace the element
Thank you!

This is your oven temperature sensor on your Tappan Oven.
T
hese codes are designed to troubleshoot your appliances and prevent further electronic issues from happening to your unit.

It is a simple repair that you can repair yourself and you can save a ton of money, also!

Once this part has been replaced, you oven should close properly and work just fine.

is the broiler 120 volts, if it is you could be losing a phase, or your element may be bad

Outstanding question, ask the guys:

your looking for part number 67 on that part breakdown
it is the bake element and if you inspect it im sure you will find it cooked or broken
befor you actually order the part take the unit out
unplug it
and inspect your wire connections to both sides of the element

This is an erratic operation of the thermostat you can reset the thermostat. Please check the reset operation procedure of the installation manual

That is a bad gas valve. Need too change it out. The glow bar is working but the valve is not opening. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/craig_3fa289bf857b1a3c

Check that one of the two hot wires is not losing power due to bad connection. This needs to be checked clear from the breaker to the terminal in the oven. Loss of one side of the 240 volts may still allow the clock to work as long as no other element is on.

OFTEN the connection of to the plug in the wall is bad... IT IS ALSO a fire hazard.

REMEMBER to turn off the breakers when working on this!

check to see if you hear a clicking noise when trying to light a burner. if not then you need to replace your spark module. very simple to install. just remeber your wires.

thermostat is not working and calling for oven
to turn on

If the ignitor looks real dim it probably has failed. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61
