Tappan TGF320 Gas Kitchen Range Questions & Answers
Self cleaning oven
After the self cleaning process you might see i wight powdery residue. This can be cleansed out with a damp cloth. No chemicals should be needed. If you use household cleaners you may have some odore when you use your oven so I would just use a damp cloth.
Igniter failure
The igniter is extremely brittle after it has been used. Often times when it fails a small hair line crack can be seen upon physical examination. Although it would appear that contact is still being made, it will not glow and reach the temperature needed for the gas valve to be opened. An Ohms meeter can be used across the two leads after it is removed form circuit I would expect less then 1 ohm on a good one but because even a bad one my be making contact when it is cold as soon as a bad one is energized the gap will open and Ohms will be increased that could not be measured. Just look for a crack, use your finger nail if you feel one it is bad.

1. Test harness/connections P4 (EOC) and P11 (Surface Element Control Board). 2. If harness checks correct, failure can be caused by faulty UIB, Surface Element Control Board, or EOC. Check harness and connectors from the EOC to Mini Oven Control Board. Check for 15VDC to Mini Oven Control (red and gray wires). If harness and voltage are good replace Mini Oven Control. If fault returns replace EOC.
When you turn the knob you dont smell gas, don't here the click of the igniter, but would like to light the oven manually. Can you help me please.
you can't manually light the oven with a match anymore,you have an electronic ignition in the oven or an ignitor part number 5303935066 and it's around 60 dollars.you have to remove the racks,remove the floor of the oven and then remove the cover and you'll see the ignitor in the back screwed to the tube usually with two 5/16 inch screws. set the oven to bake on 350,if the ignitor glows but doesn't light in 40 seconds it's bad,if it doesn't light at all you can unplug the ignitor and check it with a meter for continuity but most likely you have a bad ignitor.wet a paper towel and wet the two screws,they will come out easier,you can't use wd or anything like that because it will smell when you turn the oven on so use water, if you can see where the disconnect is to unplug the ignitor unplug it or when you get the screws out cut the two wires close to the ignitor,the new ignitor comes with ceramic wire nuts so you can connect the two wires you just cut to the new ignitor,the wires on the new ignitor will be long,you can screw the new ignitor on,leave around 6 inches of wire on the new ignitor so the wire connectors will be away from the tube and not up near the floor and if you have the ignitor screwed on you can see how long to make the wires,cut the wires and strip the ends on the old and new wires and wire nut them together.then turn it on to bake,when the ignitor starts to glow it sholud lite the flame in less than 40 seconds.hope this helps you out.one more thing don't touch the piece of the ignitor that's inside the metal bracket,they break very easy.good luck and have a great holiday.
