Oven pilot light is lite .but oven does not ignite.model# mpf300pbwc

If it's an older model with a true pilot light you turn on the gas at supply line valve, open oven door, remove bottom panel to access pilot and burner. Sometimes it's easier to remove broiler drawer on these models but regardless take a lighter and light pilot. Most models are electronic ignitions which if you have it probably needs replaced if it doesn't ignite the burner in under a minute or minute and 15 secs. It could also be a bad thermostat if the burner ignites within the time period described above

it shouldnt have a pilot light
there is a hot surface igniter under the pan below the racks
two screws in the back then lift from back (tabs in front)
is the oven not working or lighting?
you cant light with match or lighter
if you are having problems lighting change the igniter
simple to do 15 min get part un piug old plug in new

the polit light lights but when you let the nob go for the oven burner to come on the polit light goes out

if it's a newer model you don't lite it,it's electronic ignition,most likely you have a bad ignitor,next time send the brand name and model number so i can help you better.

If it is a standing pilot the thermocouple has most likely failed. If it is electronic ignition the the igniter has probably failed. Is the oven plugged in to the wall outlet all the way or is it direct wired? Is it standing pilot or elctronic ignition? Really need more info to correctly diagnose

Hi,

The ignitor is not working right and is going bad....
have the repair man replace the ignitor, or DIY....

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter

make sure the thermocouple is positioned above pilot light this part needs to be heated up by the pilot light to keep gas going to the pilot light. if the thermocouple is positioned above pilot light and it doesn't stay light, replace thermocouple.

check if ignitor ignites. it should ignite, if its too slow replace it too.

oven ifnitor has failed / remove bottom of oven to replace. not a hard job.. ignitor cost 49 to 70.00 depending on model best to use a maytag flat style . this will cost you less.. mm hope this will help you mm

Most gas ranges currently available employ one of 3 basic gas ignition systems; pilot ignition, hot surface ignition system (which uses a 'glow bar' or 'glow coil' - aka an "ignitor") and a spark ignition system. The latter two being referred to as "electronic ignition" systems as they use electricity in one form or another to operate the oven heating system. Only the pilot ignition system has an actual "pilot" (which is a small but real "flame") which might need manual lighting.

If the surface burners of a range are a spark ignition type, the oven IS one of the possible kinds of electronic ignition systems and thus will not usually have a "pilot" which needs lighting. Be aware though that just because the surface burners might light via a spark doesn't necessarily mean the oven uses the spark type ignition system too.
There is one older style of electronic ignition system which does also use an oven pilot but it is very rare and such a system hasn't been used in oven models since the early to mid 70's. It is the 'constant pilot' *electronic ignition* system
