Magic Chef Range CGR3520BDH Won't start or doesn't start

The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, designed to ignite the gas in the oven burner, allowing it to heat. This crucial component is responsible for creating the spark that starts the combustion process, enabling your oven to reach the desired temperature for baking or broiling.  

Causes of a bad oven igniter include wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of residue that can inhibit the igniter's ability to heat properly, or electrical issues that prevent the igniter from drawing enough current.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• Oven not heating up at all
• Oven takes longer than usual to heat up
• Gas smell when the oven is turned on, indicating gas is not igniting

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It measures the oven's internal temperature and sends this information to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. 

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can include exposure to high temperatures over long periods, electrical issues such as short circuits, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

• Inaccurate temperature readings
• Oven not heating to the set temperature
• Oven overheating
• Error codes displayed on the oven control panel

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Note: For the long 6-inch sensor order 12001656.

This oven gas valve controls the flow of gas to the oven burner. When functioning properly, it allows the burner to ignite and maintain a steady flame for consistent preheating and baking performance.

• Opens and closes to supply gas to the oven burner as commanded by the control system
• Helps ensure gas only flows when ignition is called for
• Common symptoms include no heat/no flame, slow preheat, or temperature not reaching set point
• May also present as intermittent heat or a weak/irregular burner flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Verify igniter condition/current; a weak igniter can mimic a failed valve
• Transfer any required fittings or brackets from the original valve
• Use gas-rated thread sealant on threaded joints; leak-test all connections and run a test cycle to proper ignition
