  • The oven not heating or taking a long time to heat up
  • The smell of gas when the oven is turned on

James for Model Number GFG464LVB1

The broiler is turning itself off. When observing the flame we notice that in the area of the igniter/flame sensor, the flame is detaching itself from the burner and flickering all around the burner which causes the flame sensor to turn it off. This detachment is only in the first several inches of the burner. Also the entire burner flame seems to be too intense with a lot of long yellow tips. Checking the bake burner, everything seems normal with nice blue flame about 1" long. Is it possible for the gas valve to be faulty and supply a higher gas pressure to the broiler than to the bake burner? As a side note, both burner air shutters are set wide open.

Answer

Hello James, the oven door needs to be closed for broil on this model or the control will turn off the burner after a few minutes. the burner air shutters are full open if on LP gas and 3/4 open for Natural gas. Check for any obstruction in the orifice by removing the burner tube first also check if anything has gotten into the burner tube. The pressure regulator is the same for all the burners.
