Recently the bake feature has been sporadic. The broiler element starts right up but the bake element doesn't. I noticed that if I turn the burners on the range on and off a few times the gas for the oven will start and it will light. It doesn't appear that the operation of the broiler or burners decreases the gas flow anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks
Dear Friend, I had the same problem and the first step you should take is to replace the bake ignitor, you most likely to have a weak ignitor. If this doesn´t solve your problem, than your gas valve is failing. Despite the broiler is ok, the gas valve has independent channels for bake and broiler, so it´s possible for one to fail and the other is good. But i believe that changing nthe ignitor will solve it.

We're having the same problem. The stove handled all the Thanksgiving cooking fine, but now the bake feature doesn't work. The broil and the burners work fine. Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Is there a separate pilot light for the bake feature? Anything we can fix on our own or do we need a tech?
