1 Answer Hello Robert. If there is power to the ignitor then you will need to replace the gas valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Tom January 22, 2016 for Model Number 36275321001 Oven takes a long time to preheat (15 to 20 minutes). Temperature drops while food is cooking. What could be the problem?
1 Answer Tom, A weak, malfunctioning oven burner igniter WB13K21 can and will create the issues you're describing. 95% of gas oven temperature problems are due to a weak igniter. Replacing the igniter should be the first step to make. Good Luck Read More...
Robert Frymyer December 20, 2015 for Model Number JGB600SET1SS Top burners and broiler works but oven will not come up to heat. Stays at 100 degrees
1 Answer Robert, You will want to check the oven bake igniter to make sure that it is coming on. If it is then check to make sure that the oven safety valve is getting 3.2 to 3.6 vac. If there is no proper power to the oven safety valve then the igniter will be faulty. If there is proper power then the issue will be with the oven safety valve. If the igniter is not coming on then verify 120 vac to the igniter. If there is proper power then the igniter is faulty and if there is no power then the control board will be the issue. Read More...
Nina December 01, 2015 for Model Number 362.72211102 Kenmore gas range. Igniter glows but oven will not light. Range top burners fine. Used multi-meter on the gas safety valve with the range unplugged from the wall. First time I forgot to turn on the igniter and got a reading of 5.5 volts. Second time I turned the oven on and the reading was 1.4 volts. I think that means the igniter is weak and needs replacement. Is there a further test I can do to make sure before ordering an igniter. Thanks
Chris November 05, 2015 for Model Number JGBP79WEB5WW GE Oven/Range Hello. The range burners and broiler work just fine, but when I turn on the oven, it takes a long time to heat up and I can hear sputtering. Eventually after a long while it will get up to temperature, but when it falls below temperature and begins to heat again, I hear the sputtering. Thanks in advance for your help.
1 Answer Hello Chris. You need to make sure the igniter is not weak. If the igniter is good, then you will need to order and replace the gas safety valve on the unit. If all burners are doing this, then you will need to check the pressure regulator on the unit. Read More...
Patty September 03, 2015 for Model Number RGB740BEH3WH My oven takes a while to ignite and when it does I will smell gas and then it blows fire out the sides , also my flame is yellow/ orange not blue
1 Answer Hello Patty. You will need to check the igniter on the unit. As for the flame, make sure the burner and orifice are clean and not rusted. Also, make sure the unit is set to the proper gas type. Test for 3.0-3.6 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.

Bj August 21, 2015 for Model Number JGPB28BEA5WH Broil and oven don't work? Put new igniter in and when turn on the stove it clicks but don't light up.
1 Answer Hello Bj. Test and see if there is power coming to the new igniter. If so, you may have cracked it installing it. If there is no power, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Tony August 19, 2015 for Model Number PGB910SEM1SS After I used the broiler one day, noe the oven takes forever (45 mins) to preheat to 350 degrees. I also smell gas now during the preheat. The oven stays on 100 deg for 15 mins before starting to rise. I think it may be the igniter or thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Tony. Test for 3.0-3.6 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.

Michael August 11, 2015 for Model Number MGR5765QDW Hi. All of a sudden stopped working bake and broil, even they have separate igniters. Any suggestion? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Michael. You will need to test for power to the igniters from the control board. If it is not there, then the control board WP74009217 is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Dianne W August 03, 2015 for Model Number JGBT35BEA4BB Hi The flames in our oven shoot up the sides an are very high.The oven also has very bad strong odor, whenever I use it. My husband was wondering where the orfus is for oven so he can turn it down. If you could send me diagram and how to fix it would be great. Thank you, Dianne
1 Answer Dianne, The orifices will be located on the oven safety valve located in the back of the unit. It sounds like the unit was converted to LP but maybe the oven was not converted. To do this you would need to get to the safety valve and tighten the orifice all the way down and open the air shutter on the burner. Read More...
