"I
couldn't have been more pleased! The part came in two days, just in
time for me to use my oven to fill an obligation for a cake order."

Make sure there's power getting to your range, oven or cooktop. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for
power with a voltmeter or by plugging something else in. |

A lot of times the problem is with a
dirty or a clogged burner. Make sure the burner is clean.
If you have a pilotless model, it uses a spark igniter to ignite the
gas, which works in a combination with a spark switch (located on
the burner gas valve) and a spark module. Because it is not simple
to test these parts and find out which one is defective, we
recommend to contact a professional appliance technician. |

Bake igniter
When the bake igniter becomes weak or burns out, your oven would not
bake. The bake igniter is usually mounted on the oven burner. It's
about 1 inch by 4-8 inches (depending on the model), and comes in
round or flat styles. If you don't see the igniter glow at all, it's
probably burned out. Replace the igniter if found defective. Note:
one of the exceptions could be that your oven is set to automatic
mode instead of manual. If this is the case, set your oven to manual
mode and check again.
If the bake igniter glows red and not bright yellow or white, it is
probably because it is too weak. When this happens, the safety valve
would not let the gas out into the oven burner. A weak igniter must
be replaced.
A faulty igniter is probably the most common cause, however there
are others:
-- defective thermostat
-- defective selector switch
-- defective gas safety valve
If you are certain the igniter is ok, it might be a good idea to
call a professional appliance technician.

Broil igniter
When the broil igniter becomes weak or burns out, your oven would
not broil. The broil igniter is usually mounted on the oven burner.
It's about 1 inch by 4-8 inches (depending on the model), and comes
in round or flat styles. If you don't see the igniter glow at all,
it's probably burned out. Replace the igniter if found defective.
Note: one of the exceptions could be that your oven is set to
automatic mode instead of manual. If this is the case, set your oven
to manual mode and check again.
If the broil igniter glows red and not bright yellow or white, it is
probably because it is too weak. When this happens, the safety valve
would not let the gas out into the oven burner. A weak igniter must
be replaced.
A faulty igniter is probably the most common cause, however there
are others:
-- defective thermostat
-- defective selector switch
-- defective gas safety valve
If you are certain the igniter is ok, it might be a good idea to
call a professional appliance technician.

1. No power
Make sure there's power getting to your range, oven or cooktop. Check for a
tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check the wall socket for
power with a voltmeter. Sometimes
the power cord disconnects or burns at the appliance, if this is the
case, the wiring and the terminal block must be repaired or
replaced. |

1. Top element
If the element only works partially or not getting red hot at the
"Hi" setting, the problem might be with a burned out receptacle that
the element plugs into. If this is the case, replace both the
element and the receptacle.
You can usually tell when the element itself burns out. It might
have small holes or bubbles on the coil. Replace the element, if
found defective.
2. Infinite switch
Another reason, why the element would not start, might be a
defective infinite switch (located behind the control panel, with
the burner knob on its shaft). Replace the switch if found
defective.
