Oven takes a very long time to heat.

Our gas oven takes a good 30 min to heat to 350 & an hour to heat to 400. We had a repair man come to take a look at it. He said this is normal. What?!? I have never had an oven take this long to heat...So, after researching it ourselves, we replaced the glow bar a year ago. Obviously, that wasn't the answer, because we still have the same problem.

I forgot to mention that the broiler and the stove top burners work just fine.

I also have the slow pre-heat problem. It was not that way when the oven was new. It takes now about 30 to 40 minutes to reach 400. The burner flame is a perfect blue but not very large. Any guidance as to how long the flam should be? I estimate the flame to be about 3/8 inch long and uniform.

Do your burners work ok when the oven is on? if not you may have low supply pressure to your range or the regulator may be limiting the gas flow. Also, I have a wolf gas range and it takes 30 minutes to heat to 350 as well, haven't timed it to 400. Has it always taken that long? Another thing to check is the door seal. If its not sealing it could cause a long preheat. If the door seal is smashed flat and/or not soft it needs replaced. Hope this helps.

Sounds like a weak ignitor. If it doesn't get hot enough to allow the proper amperage through to the gas valve, you will have this symptom.

The stove works fine but the oven and broiler do not turn on. When I turn on the broiler nothing happens; no gas comes out, nothing glows etc. When I turn on the oven the only thing that happens is that almost immediately the "Preheated" light comes on indicating that the oven has reached the desired temperature. I am thinking that the thermostat has gone bad and needs replacing. Does that sound right, or could it be something else? I have a GE Spectra XL44 Gas Range Model # JGBP30BEA6WH.

GE JGB285 LP Gas range was sold to us as acceptable for a solar installation. It had ignitors (range top only, as it turns out!) which required 120V power, but that was not a problem. Only once it w What happened to the idea of having an LP gas range for an off-grid application? The ignitors, which evidently run whenever the gas is flowing, seem to draw more power than most of the rest of my solar home COMBINED! What is the point of gas in a design like that? (Sarcasm intended...) I want the appliance dealer (whose sales staff so far seems pretty ignorant of all the issues involved, as well as alternatives) to take the unit back, and swap it for something which WILL work in an off-grid solar installation. The question is: WHICH unit?
