Kemore Gas oven - trouble igniting

To turn on the oven on your Defy Thermo Fan gas stove, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the oven is properly connected to a gas supply and that the gas valve is turned on.
2. Turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting.
3. Press the oven ignition button to ignite the gas. You may need to hold the button down for a few seconds until the gas ignites.
4. If the gas does not ignite, check the ignition system and make sure that it is functioning properly. You may need to consult the stove's manual or contact a professional for further assistance.
5. Once the oven is ignited, it should begin heating up to the desired temperature.

Keep in mind that it may take a few minutes for the oven to reach the desired temperature, depending on the setting you have chosen. You can use the oven control knob to adjust the temperature as needed.
If you are having trouble turning on the oven on your Defy Thermo Fan gas stove or if you have any other questions, you may want to consult the stove's manual or contact Defy customer support for further assistance.

If both top and oven are not igniting, then most likely you need an ignitor board. I should be located behind the left side of the console as you are looking from the front of the stove. I will look it up to be sure. There should be a tech sheet on the back panel of the stove to help in checking the boards.

If you have a pilotless model it is very likely that your oven igniter is bad. This is fairly easy to replace. A contunuity check will show if the igniter is bad.

I tried the one thing no repair person or manual ever mentioned: take out the bottom drawer, which is used for storage, and check the wire connection under the stove that connects to the ignition wire. If it is loose, disconnect at the spade connector, clean, and re-attach. Now it works fine.

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.

hello, i can help you. first of all, if the broiler works then you must have gas coming into the stove. as far as getting to the gas line, it is in the rear of the stove. typically you have to pull out the stove to get to it. that said, here are some things to consider.

Not all gas ranges/ovens require electricity. If yours has a clock, electronic igniters, self-cleaning, or any other electrical features, the unit needs electricity to work properly. Check to see whether there's power getting to the range/oven. Does anything turn on--even a light? If not, check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

It won't bake If your oven won't bake, check these:

Bake igniter
Other causes
Bake igniter Usually when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake igniter is weak or burned out. The igniter is a small, round or rectangular device, that's about 1 inch by 4 to 8 inches. It's near the burner itself.

The burner is the tube-type device the gas flows through before it's ignited. It has many small holes on the sides to let the gas, when ignited, form a long, low flame. If the igniter is weak, if it glows red but doesn't get hot enough, or if it's burned out, the gas doesn't flow to the burner and the burner won't ignite. If this is the problem, you may need to replace either the igniter or the gas safety valve. Usually the igniter is to blame.

Other causes Other reasons that your oven may not bake are:

• The clock settings are incorrect (if you have timed baking or a self-cleaning oven).
  
  
• The thermostat is defective.
  
  
• The safety valve that prevents accidental gas flow is defective.
  
  
• The selector switch is defective.
  
  

It bakes poorly Here are two instances of when food "bakes poorly:"

• When the item takes far too long to finish, you probably have a weak bake igniter. Often, you need to replace the igniter, but you may want to troubleshoot the oven's electrical system further to more precisely locate the defect.
  
  
• When the temperature is consistent but too high or too low, the oven thermostat or sensor is either mis-calibrated or defective. If your oven uses an electronic temperature-regulating device, you may have an electric sensor in the oven instead of a mechanical thermostat. If the oven temperature is off by 30 to 40 degrees in this type of unit, you must replace the sensor.
  
  On many units with a mechanical thermostat, you can remove the thermostat knob and adjust the knob itself to more accurately represent the actual setting of the thermostat. If, when you remove the knob, there's a screw on the back of it with a small calibration plate, you can loosen the screw, adjust the plate, then tighten the screw again. If the knob isn't adjustable, and the oven temperature is off by more than 30 to 40 degrees, you need to replace the thermostat to solve the problem.
  
  

Hi!!! Even if your ignitor glows just change it it has a weak charge..Also if you change glow ignitor and it does not come on then your gas safety gas valve if shorted good luck..

Remove the bottom panel from inside the stove. Turn on the stove and see if the igniter glows bright red. If not glowing, replace the igniter. In some cases, even if the igniter is glowing, the resistance may not be low enough to turn on the gas valve. In either case the igniter has probably gone bad. ($50.00 to $90.00 for igniter)

hi. thanks for the question .i would replace the bake igniter. that will solve your problem. happy graduation .thanks the appliance doc

Hi Deeg, there was a service flash regarding this problem. The bake burner and bake igniter have been modified to assure consistent oven ignition and performance. The number of ports on the burner have increased located at the electrode tip. The electrode shield has also been modified. This repair should be covered under warranty. The kit part number is 8190618 for your information. If your serial number ranges from RK01 through RR11, this is your problem. I would call Sears and request service. Catriver.
