You had me dying when you where all nervous and turning it off. I am the same way everytime I fix something. Especially when it’s something dangerous. Thanks for the tips and the lil laugh!
My oven got to where it wouldn't heat up even though you could see the igniter was on. Then, if the oven has been "on" for about 15-20 minutes, if you ignite a burner on the range top, you hear the oven gas igniting... weird, huh? It was just a hassle, but NOW, it's progressed to the point where it'll turn itself back off, even though the oven and preheat light stay on like it thinks it's still on. Your video gave me some insight into where to begin... thank you! I'll probably call a repairman, but don't like to go in TOTALLY clueless! LOL

@@lisalee2885 Sorry this is happening to so many people. There was another video or two ( one from “Scott the fix-it guy” showing how to take the panel out through the back and using an eraser on the connections. Super easy! I know less than zero about electronics and I did it. I am really blessed that the eraser thing actually fixed mine but then I had to buy a new refrigerator and the guy that came out to hook up the new refrigerator (I told him about the oven) told me that the eraser probably doesn’t have anything to do with it it’s just taking the panel out and plugging it back in. So, I would just go through there first part of the fix to see if that worked before I use an eraser on something that doesn’t look like it needs it. There was nothing I’m not connector things whatever they’re called, so I’m figuring the refrigerator repair man is probably right about the stove. Good luck I really hope it works for you.
I have an old 1960s Welbilt oven where the burners will light but, the oven no longer heats. Although I figured it was the igniter, I’m going to leave this thing alone. I’m even afraid to call anyone as so many people don’t know what they’re doing. I remember when PSEG (gas company) blew up an apartment complex. I bought a toaster oven instead as, every time I think about the oven, the word KABOOM comes to mind!
With an oven that old it probably doesn't have electronic ignition. It could be something as simple as the oven pilot has gone out. If the top burners use a pilot then the oven will also. Sometimes debris can cause the pilot orifice to get clogged and can require cleaning. Don't get rid of those old pilot ovens so much more reliable.
Duly noted. I did remove the inner base to get at that pilot light at one point. I tried to light it, while flinching, with one of those long matches. Still, nothing. I just remember trying to bake cookies one Christmas and, all of a sudden, it was no longer baking. I may look back there again to check for debris. I’ll say that I did make the mistake of leaving a Le Creuset cast iron pan in the boiler for a bit, which ruined the pan. I don’t recall whether it was one of their pans with a non-stick or enameled surface. But, the instructions said not to do that and I’d just forgotten it was in there as, I never use the broiler. I wonder if any of the coating from that pan redeposited on surfaces in the oven, including that pilot light. If I had ever got that working again, the next thing I’d like to be able to do, but know is not possible - is to change that God awful avocado green color!🤢😆
I believe that igniter was installed facing the wrong side, the open side of the igniter faces toward the gas tube according to what I saw in the beginning of the video.
I replaced my igniter before. I can’t remember. Is it supposed to sound like a low boom as it heats during baking? I didn’t think nothing of it until I went to preheat it to cook something, opened the door and there was about a 6” thin flame coming out from underside on left front. Forget that. I turned everything off. Cooked in the air fryer.
Frigidaire Galaxy LGGF3043KFR ... Replaced the igniter for the (bottom) bake tube. Noticed the flame length is about 3/8" when the flame length SHOULD be 1" Explain or direct me to a UA-cam showing HOW to adjust/increase the flame length, please
One I’m servicing is glowing it turns on after like 5 mins of glowing then flames go on for 5 second then off 10 seconds and it will continue to do this.
Ovens are pretty simple until electronic controls are involved. If you are talking about a thermostat on your oven it's easy but the same thing controlled by electronic can be hard to be clear. The thermostat sends the power to the ignitor in series with the gas valve.
There should be a wiring schematic for your oven they are usually located behind the oven in an envelope that is attached to the oven check to see what gives the gas valve power at the control module if it's electronic and see if that connection is losing power if it is there could be a problem in the electronic circuitry
I have a kenmore gas stove. I am using it with propane. My oven lights up and works. But the flame is too high and even if I lower the temperature knob it does not decrease the flame. How can I adjust the flame in the oven?
The gas pressure and orifices must be replaced for propane Some gas valves come with a kit for converting natural gas to propane but may not be available for your stove. Best thing is to get model and search for a conversion kit..
It sounds like the oven control is bad to me. But make sure you don't have the polarity reversed in the power source. Electronic oven controls can be expensive you may try used off e-bay, also there are companies that will rebuild them but that takes a couple weeks to get them back. Good Luck...
During your test run after you got flame finally, did you notice if the ignitor remained powered on while the flame from the burner tube was heating up the oven box? I find it strange that my old GE model will keep the ignitor glowing after flame up... Household furnace ignitors shut off after the burner tubes are lit!!
Yes it is weird, but that's how every gas oven I've ever worked on does it. It's actually a safety because if the igniter goes bad the gas valve will not get power. It does seem like they would last allot longer if they did it a little different though.
Thank you sir for chkg in and replying. Im allot more at ease now this morning. Everything went well for the first bake after install of new ignitor yesterday. I just had that one mental thought like this doesn't seem right... This appliance is early 80s and i don't want to trash it mainly bc the lowest oven temp i've seen so far is about 125-130° dang near perfect for making jerky!! All newer appliances are 170°ish.. Eventually tho it'll succumb due to lack of parts or just too far out of price range! Anyway Sir, greatly appreciate your quick reply! May i ask how you knew i commented? Do you have a notification setting somehow? Be well, DD777
The gas is not being directed toward the igniter properly, possibly because of a clogged burner. Pull out the burner and inspect the slits for blockage near the igniter.
My oven shows Raytheon on the outside but inside the door area the label shows Modern Maid PHO 103-UD. I can't find parts for this oven. The pipe the flame comes from (burner ?) looks corroded right in the area where the igniter is located. I was able to clean it up a bit. I can't tell if the size of the holes right in that area are larger due to the corrosion. I need to move the ingiter out of the way to do a better cleaning. At the moment its not starting with a pop or bang with a big flame and I don't smell any gas. If I see the holes are damaged I would consider replacing it if I could find the replacement. This unit is just a straight pipe that measures 11 7/8 inches long from front to back not including the area that goes inside where the gas is.
@@n1kkri Allot of paris are discontinued for older models as long as the flame continues to ignite without the booming sound I wouldn't worry about it but if you are unable to get it functioning properly you may want to start looking for a replacement oven I wouldn't use it if it is still igniting with a boom.
Good video, im having trouble with my oven not shutting off.. i tried disconnecting power cord and turning gas off behind stove it worked but I plug it in then once I turn gas back on the oven turns on even though the knob is in off position. Any pointers I cant afford a repair man so Im stuck diy.. 😔
It's possible that the knob is turning while the oven temperature control shaft does not. If you are sure that the control shaft is in the off position you most likely have a bad oven temperature control. You could disconnect the wiring from the gas control valve located on the back of the oven. This would prevent the oven from working. Be sure to unplug the oven while removing any wiring from the controls or the valve and tape up the connectors with electrical tape to prevent a short. Hope this helps.
The oven ignitor stays on whenever the oven is operating. If the oven ignitor continues to receive power the gas valve must be receiving power as well. This circuit is wired in series. So the oven temperature control would be bad.
The ignitor in my whirlpool gas range never goes off. We have to unplug it. I just put a brand new sensor and put it in but I guess that wasn’t the problem. Any ideas?
If you are referring to the surface spark igniter then the problem is in one of the switches located on the surface control valves with the power off you can ohm these out to see which is closed in the off position. Look up parts using your model number. If you are referring to the oven 99.9 percent of all ovens use a hot surface igniter which is ran in series with the gas valve. The igniter continues to be on anytime the oven temperature is calling for the gas valve to be on.
hi. my oven need to be ignite using matches. but there is no flame comes out at the tiny hole (gas burner) .. only at the starting point where i put my match.. why there no flame around the gas burner??
If your oven uses a hot surface igniter to ignite the oven burner then it will not work because the gas valve gets its power through the igniter. The valve circuit is wired in series with the igniter.
I got the same stove as in the video and everything works fine except that when I put it on 375 flames come all the way to the top of the bottom tray.....is that normal or is there too much gas being distributed?????
The gas valve is On or Off and controlled by a thermostat so unless something has rusted away on the burner to allow the gas to flow to one area I would say OK. But a good inspection of the burner for rust holes certainly would be a good idea.
I have an 1970s O'keefe' and Merritt double wall oven....it has a spark ignition/ flame rectifier...I can't seem to find the OEM parts....can I retrofit with a different oven gas safety valve and use hot surface ignitor?
It's possible that you could do that but you would want a skilled tech to do it. Another possibility would be if your system uses 3 wires going to the pilot spark assembly. You maybe able to use the 3 wire pilot on an Old Carrier ignition system. Good Luck
You smell gas and when it ignites it makes a banging noise. Something is not igniting properly and should be inspected by a qualified technician before use.
Great video...My oven was fine. Now when i Press bake it just beeps 3 times and nothing. changed the igniter and still the same thing. Has anyone had this problem or know what i need to do to fix it... Please.
Sorry to hear that. Here's a link I found on Google www.fixya.com/tags/three_beeps/ovens/whirlpool by doing a search for When I press Oven Bake it beeps 3 times and does nothing. Good luck it may help to have your Model number when searching also.
My gas broiler doesn't ignite, then backfires when I release the gas flow with the igniter still sparking. It has a spark igniter. Please advise anyone.
I recommend pulling the burner out and checking the orifices to see if any of them are clogged especially the ones near the igniter where it mounts and make sure that there's nothing in the way of the igniter to receive the gas flow clean everything up and reinstall it and see how that does
Also Spark igniters spark to ground when things get dirty around the area they are suppose to spark against they will spark on the nearest ground they can find. Sometimes that can even be the wire going to the igniter if the insulation is damaged.
It has a bad thermostat depending on your model the thermostat can be just a oven temperature control or it can be integrated into a control circuit board but there will be a temperature sensor inside the oven which goes to the control.
In my case I see the igniter glowing red, but I don't hear gas coming out nor smell gas. So it must be some sort of valve issue. The stove on top all burn fine. What is the remedy for that type of situation?
Well they say if it glows and don't light it maybe not drawing enough amps the gas valve will not open unless the igniter draws like 4 amps.Repair man said it could still light but the oven will never get up to the proper temp you set it too..If the igniter is bad won't get oven temp high like should and if igniter is bad enough it won't open the gas valve.In your case need to check the amps at the igniter frist if you can if its low replace igniter as its bad.
Sounds like the igniter may have had a crack in it. They are very fragile like thin glass. Best way to tell is to ohm it out at the two wires coming off the new igniter the resistance should be between 50 and 150 ohms.
Samuel, No the Oven Igniter cannot be repaired but if you get a generic igniter and use the ceramic wire nuts instead of the exact fit they are only about $20 bucks.
my frigidaire PLGFZ397GCG reaches 300F for example bake temp however 3 seconds later turns off. You can literally stick your hand in the oven. Also, is the fan suppose to be working while heating up? Mine doesn't. Thanks
Sir I have an older model Maytag oven that runs on natural gas. I took the bottom tray out to inspect the the burner because of sudden inconsistent oven heating. When I start the oven the ignitor glows just fine and does ignite the gas but what I am seeing is an inconsistent flame that "dances" along the entire length of the burner bar. I looks like a pressure issue to me but not sure there is a valve or anything that would control such. Any ideas?
I would inspect the burner first to make sure the holes are not plugged up with rust. And clean the burner with a steel brush. There is also an orifice that sits right under the burner when removed check it as well. You will need a gas manometer to check gas pressure but check the burner and orifice first.
@@AlvinShepherd Thank you for the reply sir. I have checked both so suspect the igniter is not pulling enough amps to fully open the gas valve. I arrived at this because the broiler function works fine (has it's own igniter) on the unit. If regulator/pressure were an issue I would think both would show the same symptoms. Is this reasonable thinking?
My oven won't turn off for some reason, the temperature selector Mark off but it still on . It runs for about 5 minutes on a 150f to 200f temperature then it goes off , takes 10 minutes and is back on running , help please!!!! Wife is getting crazy! GE 24" MODEL # JGAS02SENSS
Shepherd's Home Repair , thank you, yes it is the thermostat; I tock it off and tested, for some reason is letting the line open so the igniter keeps coming on . Just checked the price on Sears online and it's about $78 , but in the store they selling it at $136 plus $15 shipping , crazy!!!
I am not familiar with the Samsung oven igniters. However on most Ovens sold in the US there are basically two style igniters for ovens flat or round these generic igniters can be purchased for around 18 dollars. My recommendation, get the model number off your oven search Google example Samsung Model xxx-yyyyy oven igniter to get an eye ball on what the part looks like if it looks the same you should be okay with a generic otherwise your stick with the factory part.

Kimberly if your stove top burners have a flame it is a gas oven. There are electric ranges which only use electricity and there are some rare models which use a combination of both. Old stoves that had pilots only used gas and did not require any electricity. But they would emit gas fumes if placed into a small kitchen over time and had several pilots that burned continuously so they have been phased out.

I would inspect the burner first to make sure the holes are not plugged up with rust. And clean the burner with a steel brush. There is also an orifice that sits right under the burner when removed check it as well. You will need a gas manometer to check gas pressure but check the burner and orifice first.
@@AlvinShepherd Thank you for the reply sir. I have checked both so suspect the igniter is not pulling enough amps to fully open the gas valve. I arrived at this because the broiler function works fine (has it's own igniter) on the unit. If regulator/pressure were an issue I would think both would show the same symptoms. Is this reasonable thinking?
@@thumper2k174 yes I agree it's rare for those valves to go bad
My oven won't turn off for some reason, the temperature selector Mark off but it still on . It runs for about 5 minutes on a 150f to 200f temperature then it goes off , takes 10 minutes and is back on running , help please!!!! Wife is getting crazy!

Sounds like a bad thermostat that's about the only thing that could do that.
Shepherd's Home Repair , thank you, yes it is the thermostat; I tock it off and tested, for some reason is letting the line open so the igniter keeps coming on . Just checked the price on Sears online and it's about $78 , but in the store they selling it at $136 plus $15 shipping , crazy!!!
don't get scared you did good job?
my oven switch went out the replacement part looks like a needle attached to a wire! help
What is the make and model number of your oven?
You may have one like the one shown in this video ua-cam.com/video/XUPxzkt3xug/v-deo.html
and theres no short
can I use any type of ignitor or do I have to get the specific brand e.g.. samsung
I am not familiar with the Samsung oven igniters. However on most Ovens sold in the US there are basically two style igniters for ovens flat or round these generic igniters can be purchased for around 18 dollars. My recommendation, get the model number off your oven search Google example Samsung Model xxx-yyyyy oven igniter to get an eye ball on what the part looks like if it looks the same you should be okay with a generic otherwise your stick with the factory part.

Shepherd's Home Repair thank u so much . I learnt a lot from ur video . I did know it was still using gas I thought it was fully electric
Shepherd's Home Repair I saw a picture it looks simular to the others
Kimberly if your stove top burners have a flame it is a gas oven. There are electric ranges which only use electricity and there are some rare models which use a combination of both. Old stoves that had pilots only used gas and did not require any electricity. But they would emit gas fumes if placed into a small kitchen over time and had several pilots that burned continuously so they have been phased out.
