I HAVE A NEW PROPANE OVEN THAT I CONVERTED TO NATURAL GAS. NOW I GET A WHISTLE WHEN I USE THE OVEN ONLY. DO NOT GET A WHISTLE WHEN I USE THE TOP BURNERS.

SOURCE: gas leak from oven

Sounds like the ignitor is weak and needs to be replaced. How old is the oven and what is the model # from the sticker on oven?

SOURCE: Oven does not ignite, nogas coming out

Most likely the ignitor needs replaced. Checking it with a meter will verify. If it is OPEN then replace the ignitor. IF it SHORTED then the gas safety valve will be bad also.

SOURCE: My gas oven makes a noise

This is because the ignitor is starting to fail. The ignitor is probally just barely reaching the correct amp draw and soon will not light at all. For a free video on performing an amp draw test go to www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html this will walk you thru the testing procedure.

SOURCE: top oven bake igniter comes on, but gas does not.

If the bake ignitor comes on (starts glowing) - check the amperage on the bake ignitor wires when it's on. If the ignitor is a round style - amperage should be 2.5-3A, if the ignitor is rectangular - 3 - 3.6A. If less than 2.5A or 3A respectively - replace ignitor. If the ignitor does not come on - check the voltage on the ignitor, should be the line voltage 110-120v AC. Faulty gas valve is uncommon, but still a small possibility. Ignitor part numbers for round style ones: 4342528, WB2X9154, SGR403, 5304401265;
rectangular styles: 12400035, WB13K21, WB2X9998, SGR412, NR020, 5303935066, 814269, 9753108.
Ignitors of the same shape (i.e. rectangular) are interchangeable, if you can splice the wires.

Good luck!

My Lincoln 1116 has a horrible high pitched squeeky sound off and on. What can it be?

The horrible high pitched squeaky sound in a lincoln oven could be coming from the moving parts more so from the main fan motor positioned at the back or it could be from conveyor drive system. In both you got to dismantle the motors if at the back replace the motor bearings.

Viking oven buzzes all the time when not in use

the low voltage transformer on the ERC control is vibrating from not doing anything,when you put a load on this transformer it will quit,only fix is to possibly remove ERC and jam a piece of NON-Flammable/NON-electrical metal to keep it from vibrating and try this first,if this doesn't help,replace the noisy board with this transformer on it

My Amana gas oven won't heat up gas smell strong

Sounds like a sticking gas valve or a defective hot surface igniter. Open the broiler drawer or remove the bottom cover in the oven compartment. The oven usually has a hot surface igniter or a spark igniter. Turn on the oven and watch for the hot surface igniter to start glowing. It should glow very bright. Once it is glowing the burner gas should come on. If you hear the gas come on it should light right away. If there is any delay shut off the oven and stay back. Let the gas clear out then inspect the area near the igniter and make sure the burner is not plugged(the little holes may have debris in them). If you turn on the oven and the igniter comes,glows brightly,no gas is heard but you can smell gas it is either a blocked burner orfice/assembly or sticking gas control valve. Try giving the burner and gas control valve a tap and see if it comes on. If you tap the control valve and it starts working then shut of the oven and try it several times. If it starts to come on and off now you may have cleared whatever debris was causing the problem. If it does it again then it could be the control valve or a weak hot surface igniter. The igniter can be tested with a ohm meter. Most of the time when I get this complaint it is the oven control valve that is sticking. Be very careful when doing these procedures....gas can build up in the oven compartment very quicky and flash if ignited. Always have the gas shut off valve at the back of the range within reach and the electrical outlet in case you need to unplug it.

Top oven bake igniter comes on, but gas does not.

Check the voltage on the 2 wires going to the oven gas valve. If you get 120v when the ignitor is on with no gas coming out, you have a bad gas valve. If you get voltage, but it is not much, it is the ignitor. The ignitors don't burn out completely on the ovens, they just get a little dim and no longer ignite the gas and eventually will not turn on the gas valve
