Hello there:
It doesn't
bake
Bake igniter
When the bake igniter becomes weak or burns out, your oven would not
bake. The bake igniter is usually mounted on the oven burner. It's
about 1 inch by 4-8 inches (depending on the model), and comes in
round or flat styles. If you don't see the igniter glow at all, it's
probably burned out. Replace the igniter if found defective. Note:
one of the exceptions could be that your oven is set to automatic
mode instead of manual. If this is the case, set your oven to manual
mode and check again.
If the bake igniter glows red and not bright yellow or white, it is
probably because it is too weak. When this happens, the safety valve
would not let the gas out into the oven burner. A weak igniter must
be replaced.
A faulty igniter is probably the most common cause, however there
are others:
-- defective thermostat
-- defective selector switch
-- defective gas safety valve
If you are certain the igniter is ok, it might be a good idea to
call a professional appliance technician.
