We have just moved into a new rental. The oven is dual gas and electric..electric grill. I cannot get the oven to light. Make: Westinghouse 474. I turn on the temperature gauge, setting gauge and the timer on. You can hear and see the pilot light trying to start, but nothing happens. What else should I be doing? I remember on the old gas ovens there was a button to depress. If that's the case, where is it? Cheers
ELECTRONIC BURNER CONTROL
Your gas oven is fitted with an electronic controller which manages the operation of the burner
and monitors the flame. This controller includes features which ensure the safe operation of your
appliance and will prevent the build up of unburnt gas, should a fault occur.
It is normal for the flame to turn on and off during cooking, to maintain a stable temperature in
the oven. The Thermostat Indicator Light indicates when the flame is on or igniting (indicator
glows), or when the flame is off (indicator off).
The burner flame can be seen by viewing through the 2 holes in the front of the burner cover.
Ignition and Response to Ignition Failure
The controller will attempt to ignite the flame when an oven function is selected and the
Thermostat turns on (indicator light changes from off to on). The controller will make up to 2
attempts to ignite the flame, stopping if a flame is detected by the controller. If by the end of the
2 attempts a flame is not detected then the burner and ignition will be turned off and a delay of
90 seconds will be observed. During this delay the controller will not respond to the Function and
Thermostat controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the Thermostat or Function Selector off and leave off for at least
5 seconds. Then switch the Thermostat and Function Selector on again to re-attempt ignition.
If the oven controls are left on when the delay ends then ignition will not be attempted until the
Thermostat or Function Selector is first turned off for 5 seconds.
Response to Flame Failure
If the controller cannot detect flame due to a fault, then the controller will respond
• firstly by attempting to re-light the burner with a sequence of up to 3 attempts and
• If the re-lighting sequence is not successful the burner will be shut off.
The re-lighting sequence will include up to 3 attempts to re-light the burner, stopping if a flame
is detected by the controller. If by the end of the re-lighting sequence a flame is not detected then
the burner and ignition will be turned off and a delay of 90 seconds will be observed. During this
delay the controller will not respond to the Function and Thermostat controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the Thermostat or Function Selector off and leave it off for at least
5 seconds. Then switch the thermostat and Function Selector on again to re-attempt ignition.
If the oven controls are left on when the delay ends then ignition will not be attempted until the
Thermostat or Function Selector is first turned off for 5 seconds

First question
have you turned the gas supply on?
SOURCE: Oven, Broiler inopperable
Sandwich, is it your bake or broil thats not working? You have two ignitors, one for bake and broil. One of them is your culprit. This is not a hard job. The post header says broil not working so the part number for that is WB13K0003. Bake ignitor is WB13K0004. To get at the bake ignitor you have to remove the oven bottom inside panel, remove the flame spreader (both easy). The click you are hearing is the board relay sending power to the ignitor. The ignitor has to draw so many amps to open the gas valve. The oven is pilotless. Catriver..post back.

your oven needs a new ignitor it has to draw 3 amps or more to open the gas valve (just because it glows doesnt mean its good) let me know how you make out

can i use 13amp socket for a electric oven
SOURCE: how do i adjust oven pilot light on vulcan range
hi, there is an orfice for the oven located on the gas valve. If you are using LP gas, the orfice should be turn down all the way (counter clockwise). If you are using natural gas, the orfice should be turned out about 2-1/2 turns. Was this oven set up to be used with one gas and noe is being used with another? If so, you will need to do more then adjust orfices. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
