First the igniter draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to open it.
Gas oven pilot light on but no heat.
Pilot ignition works with a pilot light or a small gas flame where it is responsible to light the burner of the oven.
The igniter is the most commonly defective part for a gas oven that won t turn on.
On a pilot light system if there is no flame present hold a match or lighter to the flame aperture for at least the count of 10 to heat the thermocouple sufficiently to open the pilot feed valve.
If there is a reset button on your furnace turn the valve to the pilot position and hold a flame to the dedicated pilot gas tube while pushing the button for about 30 seconds.
The safety valves open allowing for the gas to flow to the pilot light to ignite the.
By far the most likely cause if you have a standing pilot pilot on all the time is the thermocouple has died.
As the igniter draws electric current it will heat to a high temperature and glow as well as cause the bi metal in the oven safety valve to warp and open the valve releasing the gas to be ignited.
This sequence normally takes about a minute.
Second the igniter gets hot enough to glow and ignite the gas in the burner assembly.
Open the oven and expose the pilot and burner assembly by removing the cover plate and flame spreader if there is one.
Relight a gas oven s pilot light.
First confirm that the light is out.
If the oven has a pilot light you will see a gas tube that may or may.
Replace it if it s bad.
Then turn the gas valve to the off position and wait five minutes.
Ensure the entire appliance is off.
Other possible problems include a faulty thermostat control loose or broken wires or a bad safety valve.
If your casserole won t cook because your oven isn t getting hot it s time to check the pilot light.
If your gas oven is not working but the burners are the problem is probably the igniter.
The hot surface igniter is used in modern gas oven burners to open the gas valve and to ignite the gas.
The igniter has two main functions.
