Enid B June 24, 2013 for Model Number GEXL44 I noticed that one of the burners is not lighting on my stove. I took off the burner top and cleaned around it but still it doesn't light. What do you think is the problem.
1 Answer Enid, You will want to check the igniter for continuity. Also check the ignition switch to make sure that it has continuity when the burner is turned on. Also check to make sure that the orifice is not plugged up. Read More...
Sherry June 18, 2013 for Model Number FGFL79DSB We have gas coming into our oven we can smell it. The oven lights up but doesn't get hot. The gas smell is very strong.
1 Answer Hello Sherry. If the igniter glows, but the flame does not light the gas, you will need to order and replace the igniter in the unit. Read More...
Larrylee June 12, 2013 for Model Number RGB745 WEH3WW What causes baked foods to brown very slowly and unevenly? What causes gas fumes to emit from oven when range not in use? Range has been checked a few times by repairman since purchase of this appliance brand new. Was told no problem was found. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Larrylee. The fumes are a sign of a gas valve issue. As for the cooking, it could be the igniter or the temp sensor in the unit causing the issue. You can test the sensor with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jake June 09, 2013 for Model Number RGB745WEA2WW When oven is in off I smell gas if I take a lighter to the broiler gas element it lights and there is a small amount of gas there. What causes this?
Katherine April 20, 2013 for Model Number jgbp34gep3wh I have a ge gas range/oven. Top burners on stove light. Broiler lights no problem. Self clean function also lights. But when I start the oven to bake.. it never gets off 100 degrees no matter how long it sits to preheat. No glow from bottom of oven. Is this just he oven igniter that needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Katherine, It is possible that it could be just the igniter. You will want to test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Oven Igniter March 31, 2013 for Model Number JGBP79WEW1WW Hi, happy returning customer. I have a GE Profile oven JGBP79WEW1WW. Top burners and broiler works fine but the oven will not light. If I turn the oven up to say 350, the digital temperature display only reads 100 no matter how long it is is on 350 and the oven does not heat. Broiler works fine and I know there is also an ignitor for the oven, but are they the same interchangeable part? I need the oven to heat. Thanks. Waiting on your response before I make my purchase from you.
1 Answer Hello. Check and see if the igniter glows. If not, test for power. If it is there, replace the igniter. If it glows, Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Ismael March 29, 2013 for Model Number 3627352192 Oven and broiler are not working after the oven cleaner was done for 4 hrs as the instructions said. What can I do?
1 Answer Ismael, Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter [AP2014008 will need to be replaced. If there is no power then the thermostat is faulty and would need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Sheila M. March 29, 2013 for Model Number RGB745WEA6WW Oven and Broiler will not light on automatic cleaning oven...top burners are fine. I have spoken with rep, and she said that I should seek help through technician. There is no smell or sound of gas coming through when I turn on the oven and broiler, or self-cleaning oven setting. What else could be the problem? A repair technician I understand charges anything from $160 to $200 for a visit! - What can be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Shelia. If the issue is only on the self clean, you will want to make sure the door is locking and the switch on the lock assembly is good. If so, you may need to replace the control on the unit. If the oven just does not work on any cycle, we need to test a few parts here. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Scott March 18, 2013 for Model Number rgb628ger3wh My oven & broiler are not working but top burners are. What could be problem?
1 Answer Hello Scott. Look for burnt wiring and if none is found, the control may be bad and need to be replaced or the igniter if there is power to the igniter and it does not work. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

1 Answer Hello Scott! Yes, the igniter WB2X9154 is the bake or broil igniter. There is one igniter on your unit. Thanks. Read More...
