Hi, hope you can help me with this one. The oven is suddenly not heating. It's dead. All other functions seem fine. I press 'bake' then 'start' and the normal couple of clicks happen, but the ignitor doesn't heat, thus, no gas. No gas, no Christmas cookies. The broiler is fine. There is no error message displayed. I unplugged/replugged it several times hoping that would do something; no luck. Where do I start?? Thanks for any advise. If you fix the problem I'll send you some cookies!
Nzirons, Most likely, the bake igniter is shorted out and it has to be replaced. The part number for the igniter is WB2X9154.You can buy it for $60.00 to $80.00. If you are handy and have the right tools (Philips #1 and straight 1/4" screwdrivers, 1/4" and 5/16" nut drivers or socket wrenches, wire cutter and wire stripper) you probably can do it yourself. I would recommend to call a local appliance tech. just because of the safety issue. If you are going to do it yourself, let me know and I can help you with step by step instructions. Gendos

oven is not heating then you probably have a bad heating element in your oven. This is not that hard to fix yourself... Oven is Heating Slowly or Poorly221 views

Thank you and yes, that's something I'll attempt myself. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
You were right!!! I was able to get the part locally this morning and just finished installing it. Not too difficult, only took about an hour and cost less than $55. The oven is cured. Thank you so much! Where shall I send the cookies?
I have this same problem, which I thought was caused by the tiny red gas lever (under the warming drawer and to the back left) being bumped to the OFF position. However, after moving it back to ON, per the owner's manual instructions, I still have no function in the oven -- there is no clicking, nor is there any lighting of the gas flames. (The sealed burners on the stovetop continue to work without issue.) If anyone has experienced the same problem, I would appreciate advice. At this point, I am thinking that if this involves a service person coming it, plus labor to fix whatever might be wrong, that a full replacement of the appliance might be the best bet overall. This came with the condo, I think it was inexpensive (~$250, from what I have read) and was new in January 2002. Thanks for any input!
