My Oven will not ignite- the pilot light is still lit however the flame will not jump to start the oven when the thermostat is turned on. It was working the previous evening. The stovetop is working fine.

Hi:mac984

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by jump? What doesn't jump? The pilot flame or the burner flame?

The pilot is on and the burner will not light but the gas is coming out? You smell gas when the oven turns on?

Does the oven turn on at all? What happens when the oven is turned on? Do you usually see another larger pilot flame turn on before the burner turns on?

Please provide a more detailed explanation so I can offer you more help.

Thanks,
TomBartco

Gas oven won't heat in evening

on Nov 10, 2000

I have a brand new Kenmore gas range with electronic ignition. The stove top works all of the time, but the bake & broil only work during the day. Right about dinner time the oven will not turn on at all. The oven has been replaced and the second oven has the exact same problems. The gas company and plumbing company have been out to look at it and no one can figure out what is going on. Don't know if it's an oven problem or gas? The house is also brand new. I am into my fourth week of no answers, please help! Read More
