Common Symptoms
- Little or no heat during baking
- Bake burner fails to light even though the oven controls operate
- Igniter does not glow during a bake cycle
- Delayed or weak bake ignition
- Uneven baking caused by the bake burner not lighting properly
Check Before Replacing
- With the oven cool and the appliance disconnected from electrical power, visually inspect the igniter and wiring for cracking, burn damage, or a loose connector.
- Verify that the replacement part's male plastic connector matches the connector on the removed igniter before ordering or installing.
- During a brief controlled bake-cycle observation, check whether the bake igniter glows and whether the burner ignites normally; do not bypass safety controls or continue testing if gas accumulates.
- If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, have the gas supply, burner orifice, safety valve, and control circuit evaluated rather than assuming the igniter is defective.
Pro Tip
The hot-surface element is fragile; handle the igniter by its metal bracket or wiring and avoid touching the element itself. Match the connector before installation.
