The oven is not heating when I turn on the temperature. Everything else is fine, broiler, stove top, clock , timer............. just not the internal oven.
Electrical, sensor problem?? How di i check those things? Are there error codes to activate somehow?
It is an Amana self cleaning gas range, Model AGS74GE
Thank you
Not a sensor, but more likely a bad oven ignitor(glow bar) its located under the ovne floor and mounted to the side ofthe bake bar. simple emough to unscrew and unplug, replacethepart yourself
you can physically look for a burn on it, but no talways apparent, you can check for 110volts where the ignitor plugs into, unplug ignitor, place meter leads into the connection and start teh iven if you get 110v to the connector then you have a bad ignitor
umm should be a measured resistance within the ignitor although not really sureas to what OHM's it should read. and as far as a thermostat,these new units ( new meaning within the past 15 yrs.) use a thermistor, instead of thermostats, and as longas we get power to the ignitor, itshould light, the thermistors monitor temps and usually when they go bad htey read "f 3" codes in the display assy. Id feel confident replacing the ignitor

thanks, I'll look at that
i have located the part, is there a way to test it or inspect it to see if it is bad?
thanks. last question. the voltage is there so it appears to be the ignitor. But, i do measure ~200 ohms on the ignitor wires. On the ignitor surface , it is an open circuit. Is that the sure sign? or is the thermostat a possibility?
thanks alot.
