If the igniter in your oven doesn't match the round or square styles shown here, or a resistance reading doesn't match spec, stop and verify your model number before replacing anything. \u26a0\ufe0f Smell gas? Stop \u2014 get outside, then call your gas utility (or 911) from there. <a href=\"#app-safety-notes\">Full safety notes below<\/a>.<\/span>\r\n<h4>Is a gas smell from my oven dangerous?<\/h4>\r\nA little bit of that natural gas smell isn\u2019t unusual when you turn your oven on, but if it is particularly strong or lingering, that\u2019s a bad sign. If you\u2019re concerned about a gas smell coming from your oven, we\u2019ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/gas-range-smells-like-gas-top-5-reasons-and-fixes-with-video\/\">a guide that can help you troubleshoot it<\/a>. However,<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <b>if you suspect that you have a serious gas leak on your hands<\/b>, you need to shut off the gas in your home, call the utility company, and leave your house immediately. Staying in a home with a gas leak can be dangerous.<\/span>\r\n<h3>Tools For The Job<\/h3>\r\nThe only tool you\u2019ll need for sure to test these components is a multimeter that can check for continuity and read amps. Aside from that, you may find a pair of needle-nose pliers and a Phillips head screwdriver useful.\r\n<h3>1. The Oven Igniter Itself<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s best to start with the component itself, since these parts are fragile and will start to wear out with age. The igniter, or ignitor (different spellings for the same part), is a small component consisting of a ceramic body, heating element, and (usually) a protective metal cage. They generally come in two different shapes \u2013 round and square \u2013 which operate at different amperages, so it\u2019s important that your oven has the correct type installed. A working igniter will glow white hot at maximum temperature, lighting the gas that is released into the oven. As the component ages, the heating element can weaken, making it less efficient. If your oven burner struggles to light or won\u2019t light at all, the igniter may be the cause.\r\n\r\nTo thoroughly test this part, you\u2019ll need a multimeter with a clamp-on amp meter. Let\u2019s take a look at how it\u2019s done.\r\n<h4>Basic Testing<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Open the oven door, remove the racks, the oven bottom, and the flame spreader<\/b>\u00a0 to access the igniter. You\u2019ll likely find it mounted to the broiler burner.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check to make sure that the igniter is mounted properly.<\/b> Make sure it\u2019s properly connected and securely mounted. If it\u2019s loose or has fallen out of place, this could be your issue, and simply reattaching it will do the job.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Temporarily restore only the power to the oven, but leave the gas supply off. <\/b>You\u2019ll need the oven to be powered to run the next couple tests.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Turn the oven on and check to see whether the oven ignitor is lighting up.<\/b> It should glow white hot. If it tops out at glowing red or orange, it is not getting hot enough to properly release gas into the oven interior for ignition, and needs to be replaced.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>Check The Amperage<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use a multimeter to test how many amps the igniter is drawing.<\/b><b>\r\n<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">For round igniters and blue igniters, the lowest amperage you should get when you test is 2.2. These sorts of igniters are typically used with safety valves rated for between 2.5 to 3 amps. If you have a square igniter, they are usually used with safety valves rated for between 3.3 and 3.6 amps. The lowest acceptable reading for these types of igniters is 3.0.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">Clamp the amp meter around one of the igniter wires.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"2\">Turn the oven on and check the amp meter. If it isn\u2019t drawing enough amps, then it is going bad and should be replaced.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t forget to shut the power back off now!<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>Check For Continuity<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>In order to do this next test \u2013 checking the igniter\u2019s ability to carry an electric current - set your multimeter to continuity <\/b>and touch its probes together to make sure it\u2019s working.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Access the ignitor\u2019s wiring harness and disconnect it. <\/b>You may be able to do this from inside the oven, but if the wires are too short, you\u2019ll need to pull the appliance away from the wall and remove the rear access panel to reach it.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Once you have access to the harness and it\u2019s unplugged, touch a multimeter probe to each terminal.<\/b> It should have continuity. If it doesn\u2019t, the part has failed and needs to be replaced.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>2. The Oven Safety Valve<\/h3>\r\nAs the name implies, the oven safety valve is a fail-safe component that stops the release of gas into the oven if the igniter is not hot enough to light it. It consists of a metal body with a bimetal arm inside. As electricity from the igniter heats the interior component, the safety valve opens, releasing gas into the oven for ignition. If the safety valve has failed, it won\u2019t allow gas into the oven whether or not the igniter is in working condition, and no gas means no flame.\r\n\r\nSafety valves can usually be found in one of two places on the range. If you need help tracking yours down, here\u2019s where to look:\r\n\r\n1. On the back of the oven, behind an access panel, connected to a gas line that runs to the oven\u2019s burner.\r\n\r\n2. Inside the oven, beneath the bottom panel, heat spreader, and burner, usually mounted to the floor of the oven and against the back.\r\n\r\nOnce you have access to the safety valve on your oven, it\u2019s time to test it out. You\u2019ll need a multimeter, and you may need a pair of needle-nose pliers.<b><\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set your multimeter to continuity. <\/b>You\u2019re testing to see whether the valve carries a charge.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the wire connections to the safety valve. <\/b>You may need a pair of needle-nose pliers to do this, as they can be wedged on pretty tight.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Touch a test probe to each terminal to test for continuity.<\/b> If there\u2019s no continuity, the valve will need to be replaced.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>3. Gas Pressure Regulator<\/h3>\r\nThe gas pressure regulator is a small square component that reduces and regulates the pressure of incoming gas, allowing the oven to function. It consists of inlet and outlet hookups for gas and an internal diaphragm and spring, which do the actual regulating. You\u2019ll most likely find the pressure regulator near the safety valve, either inside the oven or on the back of the range. If the regulator\u2019s internal components fail, it will most likely prevent gas from flowing into the oven at all. In these cases, the igniter may glow properly, but there\u2019s nothing inside the oven to light.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, fully testing out the gas pressure regulator requires specialized tools. There\u2019s one quick check you can do at home, though:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Look for a manual shut off valve on the regulator.<\/b> Newer pressure regulators often come with a lever that allows the user to shut the valve off. Make sure it\u2019s in the open position.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>You can gauge that the regulator has failed by process of elimination. <\/b>If your regulator doesn\u2019t have a shut off valve or is set to open and you\u2019ve checked the other components and haven\u2019t found anything wrong, it\u2019s safe to assume that the regulator has failed.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Finding The Right Replacement Part<\/h2>\r\nWhile it\u2019s possible your oven issues may be caused by a component that\u2019s simply come loose or been accidentally shut off, chances are, after running these tests, you\u2019ll have found a part that needs to be replaced. Your next step, then, is getting a genuine OEM replacement component.\r\n\r\nTo track that down, you\u2019ll need your oven\u2019s full model number. You can find that on a label somewhere on the appliance. Check the following places:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Open the oven door and check around the frame.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Open the broiler or range drawer and check along the sides or on the inside of the door, itself.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Lift the cooktop and check beneath that.<\/li>\r\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Check the exterior of the stove, it could be on the sides or back, behind the main control panel.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOnce you have the model number, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\">AppliancePartsPros.com<\/a> and type it in.
