Stephen for Model Number Electrolux model # E30GF74HPS1 Ser#NF92516750 This Electrolux gas range was purchased in 2008. It had a faulty ignitor and that was replaced in 2009 under warranty. The oven is now sputtering when it is turned on. It makes a "put-put-put-put-put" kind of noise when turned on in BAKE mode. It will light but it has to go through the "put-put-put" cycle first. I got down and listened to it last time we had it lit and the noise was a very consistent and fast paced putting noise for at least several minutes. You can distinctly hear the initial "put-put-put-put-put" when it's lighting but I have to get down on the floor the hear the more rapid putting noise, once the oven is lit and heating. At any rate, it does not seem normal. My wife believes that the oven made this same noise when it had a faulty oven ignitor. I'm not so sure. I can see an orange glow when the oven is starting if I get down on the floor and look up. This is when the oven is starting. Anyway, wondering if you could provide some advice. Should I replace the ignitor or is it more likely to be the safety gas valve?
Answer Stephen, the safety valve 5303210798 can be tested for 3.2 to 3.6 VAC going to the safety valve from the ignitor. Once the ignitor reaches 1800°F surface temp, the ignitor should be allowing the voltage to reach the safety valve. If there is not a constant 3.2 to 3.6 VAC within 60 seconds, then the ignitor 5303935066 has weakened and this would certainly cause issues. Read More...
