Check your element when you turn on your oven also you can do a continuity test to assure that there are no break spots in the element the next thing to check would be your oven tempreture sensor usually small metal rod along top with two wires hooked through the back wall of the oven if you look in your manual should give you for a spec and you can do an ohms test on the sensor if the sensor fails from what the spec states replace the sensor when checking the element make sure the element glows red other then this you would have to go into the back panel of your oven and do some power tests and comparing that to your tech sheet that the write amount of power is going to the right places check element and temp sensor first please remember to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation and if there are any futher questions please message me back have a great day

GE wall oven gas model # JGRS14 won't heat past 100 and I don't see any flames

if you can see the ignitor glowing on either the broiler or the lower area of the oven then the gas valve is bad and not opening anymore,sometimes the ignitors are the culprit as they are in series with the gas valve and if weak wont let the valve open,but both upper and lower burners not operating i would suspect a gas valve first

Model: JDS8850AAS -- Oven won't preheat above 150

Hello,

The problem beleive it or not is that the bake ignitor is weak ,and it is not drawing the proper amprage to open the gas valve.If you have a amp meter access the wires to the bake ignitor(usually behind the storage drawer) and check for 3.3-3.6 amps when oven is set to bake by clamping the meter around ONE wire wire of ignitor make sure only one wire,either one and not both.
if amp draw less than 3.3-3.6 amps replace bake ignitor. I know it seems improbable that if the ignotor comes on that it could be the problem.Professional appliance technicians who would charge a average of $250.00 to repair your oven,have found when the ignitor comes on yet the oven won't heat that a weak ignitor is the cause 100% of the time

Hope this helps
