Laura March 10, 2022 for Model Number GW397LXUSO6 When I light my oven, the burner lights halfway, it goes up and down the burner tube. And you smell gas. Then the bake light starts blinking then it turns off. What is wrong?
1 Answer Hello Laura, likely the bake burner ignitor is weak/worn and not opening the gas valve fully, the ignitor is part 74007498. If you are checking the bake or broil burner operation with the oven door open the control board will time out (usually 30 sec to 2 min) and disable the oven heating as a safety, usually, this is not a problem with normal oven use.

Dave December 05, 2014 for Model Number jgs8850ads The flame on the bake burner moves up and down. There is a smell of gas also. You can see the blue flame go up and down the burner tube. I have replaced the igniter and gas valve. Could this be the circut board which I already replaced 3 times or something else?
1 Answer Hello Dave, If the unit has been converted and is converted correctly, the air shutter needs to be closed off some to prevent the flame from lifting up off of the burner. Flame characteristics can be changed by adjusting the primary air intake at the air shutter. On burners that do not have adjustable shutters, kits are available to make adjustments possible. If the unit has not been converted the air shutter should still be addressed but if the unit has been converted the conversion should be looked at closely to ensure it has been converted correctly.

Buck November 01, 2013 for Model Number CKM 4612 C 33OHM There are three sets of numbers on plate under the lift top of my Hardwick gas range. The writing is worn off from cleaning.Top number is: 168125K. Middle number is: CKM 4612 C 33OHM. Bottom number is: 4969. My questions are, which one of these numbers is my model number and my next question is whether parts are still available for this unit before I call a repair man? Thanks for your help.
Carl March 26, 2013 for Model Number cgr3760adw I recently switched from propane to natural gas. I need to know where orifice for oven burner is located to adjust it.
Bob February 11, 2013 for Model Number JGS8860BDP The oven burner won't ignite. The igniter glows, but the burner will not light. Broiler burner and igniter work fine. What parts would I need to repair this oven? Is the valve regulator bad, or would it be something else?
1 Answer Hello Bob. 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. 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...
Gordon C. November 29, 2012 for Model Number 3442xra magic chef The oven burner flames are too large and yellow, causing a lot of black soot in oven. I've tried adjusting the air flow. It was all the way open, but that made it worse.
1 Answer Hello Gordon, This sounds like you are not set up for the gas you have connected to the unit. There is natural gas and LP gas. Each one use their own set of orifices and set up procedures to ensure the complete consumption of the gas. Without proper setup, poisonous gasses are produced, so the unit has to be set up properly to provide normal operation. Let us know what gas is provided to the unit and we will let you what parts need to be changed and/or adjusted to provide proper gas consumption and normal operation. Read More...

Howard R. February 08, 2012 for Model Number MGS5770ADB I recently converted from propane to natural gas, and everything worked well. Since the conversion every time I use the oven to BAKE I get the odor of natural gas in the kitchen. I have opened the air orifice wide open but still have the odor. Any ideas what might be the problem might be? No odor when on broil just on bake.
1 Answer Hi Howard. Has there been another gas appliance worked on in the home recently ? Use a soap and bubble spray to test the connection to see where the leak may come from. Wipe up the soap after checking for leaks. It is common under these circumstances it will cause an issue. Look at the conversion instructions on the rt. side of the page. See where the Safety valve cap changes from Lp - to - Natural ? The natural position has to immediately show when someone lifts the plastic cap for future reference. It is important for the cap holder eyelet be put back on the cap on the bottom half where it threads w/ the cap and holds tight like a spacer washer below the cap nut. This will help align the inner spring pressure so it is properly engaging the inner diaphragm. If this is not the case and all is well, then you have a bad safety valve that will not close. You should really shut the safety valve lever off and not use it until this issue is repaired. Safety valve part # 12002227. Thank You. Read More...
