Question about Kenmore 36692 / 36694 / 36699 Gas Kitchen Range

1 Answer

Bake burner The bake burner seems to not light right away and we get a small explosion when it finally does. We are on propane by the way. It doesn't seem to do this every time. Sears technician says he thinks it is the valve and has ordered a new one. The igniter on the burner is the glow type. I'm thinking that possibly it is not close enough to the burner and I know that propane gas settles and does not rise. Help

Billsr, he may be right, however, sometimes the ignitors will cause this problem. They have to draw enough amps to open the gas valve all the way. Even though they glow, they may be weak and not open the valve completely. Attached is a diagram of how the system works. Catriver...post back.

Broiler burns but the bottom burner on the stove will not come on the glow igniter turns orange but the burner doesn't light also one eye doesn't light, the striker sparks but the burner...
Hello,

FOR THE OVEN NOT HEATING

The problem beleive it or not is that the bake igniter is weak ,and it is not drawing the proper amprage to open the gas valve.If you have a amp meter access the wires to the bake igniter(usually behind the storage drawer) and check for 3.3-3.6 amps when oven is set to bake by clamping the meter around ONE wire wire of igniter make sure only one wire,either one and not both.
if amp draw less than 3.3-3.6 amps replace bake igniter. I know it seems improbable that if the igniter comes on that it could be the problem.Professional appliance technicians who would charge a average of $250.00 to repair your oven,have found when the igniter comes on yet the oven won't heat that a weak igniter is the cause 100% of the time

FOR THE SURFACE BURNER NOT LIGHTING The holes on the burner espically those around where the electrode are dirty/clogged. By using a paper clip/safety pin to push in and clear the holes then clean the burner up with some steel wool the burner should light. GENE

My GE oven takes a long time to lite. When it finally does there is a small explosion sound. I already replaced the ignitor 2 weeks ago. It worked fine for about 1 week and now I have the same problem...
If the gas valve is opening in a reasonable amount of time then the problem isn't with the igniter and you don't need to bother testing amp draw... Could be a number of things, clogged burner ports near the igniter, incorrect air/ gas ratio, incorrect igniter position (too far away from the burner), incorrect gas pressure. If you can, watch the burner when it lights from a safe distance and see if both sides are igniting at the same time or if it just builds up gas until BOOM! Ha ha, hope you figure it out, be careful.

Ran out of propane, Stovetop has ignitors and they seem to be functioning fine. When turning on knobs there is plenty of propane smell but the burners fail to light.
This is normal when you run out of propane. Depending on the length of line you have, there will be a delay in relighting it again because of insert air in the line. My advice to you is to first air out the house til the smell is gone. Then turn on only 1 burner with the igniter sparking and also hold a handheld bbq lighter at the burner to ensure that the gas burner lights when the air is finally purged. This should only take 20-30secs. If it takes longer, air out the room and try again. Use common sense and please be careful!

One side seems clogged, no propane gets through.
More than likely you can fix it yourself. Remove the burner that's not working or if the burners are joined remove the entire burner unit. Check small holes around edge og burner for anything that may be clogging them. I've used a round toothpick or a small nail to poke each hole gently to make sure it's clear. replace the burner and try agin, it should work fine. In the worst case the burner needs replacing. This can also be done yourself. Purchase the burner from a large hardware store or contact Weber for a replacement.

Gas vavles is letting propane gas through the gas control vavle.
If you have propane you better not mess around! with nat gas its lighter than air and drafts or flies away if it can.
not so with propane , its heavier than air and stays down low!! and the most explosive situation is 10% gas/ 90% air !!!! so a small leak??? there is no such thing with propane!! turn off all valves to it and get it fixed by expert this is one repair a handyman should never do!!

Can not adjust flame.
It sounds like the grill just needs a good cleaning, plus when you do clean it check that the burner tubes and orfaces are free of any debris.
The orface is a tiny hole inside a small brass threaded insert where the gas blows through into the burner tubes, it is very critical that this is clear as well as the burner tubes.

Smeg SUK61PX8_SS Dual Fuel Cooker Oven Light Randomly Flashes Stops Oven From Working Hi. We have a Smeg SUK61PX8_SS Dual Fuel Cooker. Since October when the weather is damp, the red oven lock light will come on and flash randomly. When it starts doing this the oven will not turn on because it thinks the oven door is locked when it isn't. We found a sort of solution was to put a ramekin of baking powder in there to possibly absorb any moisture, but that doesn't seem to help anymore. Can you help? Thanks.

Cook top element operation interupted by F760 code. GE profile range Model PCB 975 touchpad and/or control board have failed (no longer made) but stovetop elements were still working till F760 error code came up. When power is cycled the elements will work for 10 seconds until the Code F760 reappears. An audible click can be heard from the control panel as the code comes up and the elements stop working. Can anybody identify the relay that is being activated and tell me if disabling this relay will interupt the shut off of power to the elements by the F760 alarm? Figured it out. Thanks anyway.
