I have a kenmore stove. Inconsistantly after the stove is turned on after several minutes I heard a boom from the stove. The kitchen smells like gas, but the stove is on. I would assume from your trouble shooting guide that the ignitor was the case. Do you have any insights/surgestions….Master

Oven Ignitor Wires Originally uploaded by Zenzoidman.
Went on a service call for an Amana gas oven that wouldn’t fire up. When I arrived, I turned on the oven to verify the complaint– the ignitor (the thing pictured here) glowed but didn’t fire up. I [...]

Went on a service call the other day on a Thermador electric wall oven; complaint - no bake. Now, wall ovens can be tricky to troubleshoot and repair so I came ready for the worst-case scenario which would require me to remove the wall oven. I packed my All Dolly wall oven cart [...]

code, did my online research and found that it was either the touch membrane or the
ERC (I think in my case they cannot be disconnected from each other). I did

Used my cheap MagicChef Gas Oven to heat the house for about a week, (after the wall heater went out). Now it won’t burn over 275/300 degrees. Even then, it takes 15 minutes to light.

As you describe my glow plug glows on my gas range but gas valve does not open up unless I tap on the valve. Ignitor or valve?

At some point in during the life of your gas range, you may need to convert from LP to natural gas or vice versa. The two pages below illustrate the most common tasks needed to complete the conversion (click the pictures for a larger view):

My relatively new Kenmore Gas Oven (Model #665 75824000) produces an error code
whenever we try to use the self cleaning feature. After setting up the oven to
begin self clearning the following error code shows up on the LCD.
