The gas oven is a roper, model number unknown, it came with my condo, and is about 6 years old. The range top works just fine but the oven is not heating evenly. It lights and will cycle on and off to maintain temperature but it is in no way working properly. This oven can burn one half of the food while the other half stays nice and cold. After making sure the oven was level I looked at the flame in the lower part of the oven/broiler area. The flame is a horse shoe shape. It appears yellow and smaller on one side and blue and drastically larger on the other. Any advice on what the problem might be would be a great help. Is this something that is just a simple clean it out job and if so how do I do this because google is not helping me find an answer.
SOURCE: oven heat
The problem with you oven is the FFD (flame faliure device ) also known as FSD (flame safety device) The way is works is that when an oven is ignited first time the heat from the low level flame heats phail at the end of the calliary tube which in turn increases the pressure within this tube forcing open the FSD valve to open allowing full gas through. when this fails it restricts the amount of gas flowing through it leaving the oven with a small flame. these are easily repalaced but the law says it must be done by a corgi registered engineer for gas safetey reasons...But 110 % that is your fault. HTH
SOURCE: Oven does not heat
I am having the same problem right before the holiday...can this be by myself or do I need a technician??
SOURCE: Oven won't heat up to set temperature
IF THIS IS A GAS RANGE, AND IS USED ALOT, 4YEARS IS ABOUT THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE IGNITOR FOR THE OVEN. IF THE IGNITOR IS WEAK, IT MAY NOT OPEN THE SAFETY VALVE. WITH A FLAT IGNITOR, IT REQUIRES 3.3AMPS TO OPEN THE VALVE. IF IT IS A ROUND IGNITOR, IT REQUIRES 2.8 AMPS TO OPEN THE OVEN IGNITOR.
IF THIS IS AN ELECTRIC OVEN WITH AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL, I WOULD SUSPECT THE OVEN SENSOR AS THE DEFECTIVE PART. AT ROOM TEMP, IT SHOULD READ ABOUT 1084 OHMS OF RESISTANCE.
IF IT IS A MECHANICAL CONTROL(WITH A KNOB) IT MAY BE ADJUSTABLE BY REMOVING THE KNOB AND INSERTING A THIN SCREWDRIVER UP THE SHAFT OF THE CONTROL AND TURNING A SCREW IN THE SHAFT TO CALIBRATE THE TEMP.
SOURCE: Oven does not heat up
there is a fuse that controls the oven functions.. try replacing it.. good luck!
SOURCE: Kenmore gas stove. Oven burns big flame which soots
The manifold needs to be cleaned and adjusted could have rust etc in it Not a good thing to do yourself unless you know what you are doing
