Hey Quickvan, Did the new oven igniter resolve your problem? I just read this old post and wanted to see if the igniter fixed the problem in your case as I am having the same problem with my oven and have looked at it for some time now. :wall: IMO, the "bake" ignitor on my stove is getting hot enough and is just as bright as my broiler igniter, but the oven is not getting enough gas flow at the oven (bake) burner for the igniter to start the flame. As quickvan pointed out, the broiler works fine and ignites after approxmately 50-60 seconds of turning the oven switches. The igniter itself is hot enough IMO after about 20-30 seconds, then a few seconds later you can hear the gas open and the flame ignites. However, on the oven (bake) side of things the igniter comes on in about the same amount of time, but the gas doesn't come on as fast and not as pronounced as it does in broiler operation. At this time, I also get a strong order of gas buildup coming through the upper vent and burners on the stovetop. I have played a bit with the position of the igniter to see if getting it closer to the burner tube would make a difference, but these ceramic igniters don't have alot of play room and no noticable difference was noted. I have also started the burner manually using a hand spark lighter and notice the gas ignites, but the flame is small, much smaller than the broiler (though correct in flame adjustment). Sometimes this flame goes out, sometimes it stays lit until the oven reaches the high-limit temperature, then shuts off. Problem is, then it doesn't re-ignite to maintain the temperature and the oder of gas returns. Removing the lower storage drawer to access the oven from underneath, I notice the two ports where the gas enters the stove. The straight connection goes to the burner assemblies and the other one with the small shutoff valve goes to the oven (both bake and broiler igniters). However, from there I can't see where the gas tubing goes as it passes out of site on the left of the stove. I have played with the small brass shutoff valve and notice that by moving the valve stem from open to close and back again, it will allow enough gas to shoot through the line to ignite the burner assembly. The gas sound is noticable, similar to the broiler ignition, but then the gas dies off slowly and I'm back to square one. My question concerns the gas valve itself. On the schematic, it shows where the igniters are connected to this gas valve via wires (violet for bake) and I need to know where this valve is physically located without disconnecting my stove and removing it from the mountings if at all possible? My train of thought now is that the gas valve for the bake side of operation is not functioning. Either the wire connections are bad or the valve needs to be readjusted or replaced. Any thoughts?

I know that you folks mostly are in need of help and need an answer as quickly as you deem reasonable, but please keep in mind that folks that reply are also chancing a vested interest in the resolution! I even believe that a negative response would be preferred to none at all! The moderators and helpful folks need to know that 1 helpul fix is worth all the effort! My personal point is to thank SharpAdvice for all the wisdom he imparts daily! his things not to do are just as important as the actual repair!
