Katie for Model Number LSG4513ST/00 OUR STOVE STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS WHEN STARTING AND SLOW START UP. THE FAN IN THE BACK WOULD STICK AS WELL. OUR BURNERS WOULD SOMETIMES PRODUCE BLUE/ORANGE FLAME THEN BACK TO BLUE. WE ARE NOW GETTING AN F9 ERROR AND IT WILL NOT HEAT UP. OUR FRIDGE IS ALSO ON THE SAME CIRCUIT AND IS NOT COOLING. I AM WONDERING IF A FAULTY IGNITER COULD CREATE A SURGE AND THEN CAUSE THE COMPRESSOR OVERLOAD ON MY LG LMXXS30776S/03 TO FAIL. WE ALSO HAD 2 OUTLETS AS WELL AS OUR CGFI TRIP. COULD THIS ALL STEM FROM A FAULTY IGNITOR?
Answer Hello Katie, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. It is unlikely that an igniter would cause all of these issues. The fans for this unit are on separate circuits within the unit from the ignition/gas systems, The flame discoloration of the top burners may be due to impurities in the incoming gas or pressure issues. The F9 code is the unit's way of saying it is not seeing any temperature rise in the oven over a certain period of time. The initial slow ignition and subsequent lack of ignition in the oven may be due to an igniter [MEE61841401] or gas valve [MJX62571702] failure. It is also highly unlikely for the glow-bar igniter or the gas valve to be able to fail in such a way as to backfeed through the board and back into the source electrical circuit to trip a refrigerator's compressor overload and trip a GFCI. It is more likely, in my opinion and experience, that the oven ignition issues and the refrigerator's compressor not running may have been caused by the source electrical circuit. Most modern large appliances, including the range LSG4513ST and the refrigerator LMXS30776S, are designated by the manufacturer to be on dedicated(separate) circuits by themselves without any other loads. It is also not required or recommended by the manufacturer that this gas range be run on a GFCI circuit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, January 17, 2025
