I have a new Rangemaster Classic gas cooker and the ignition does not work on the main oven. It is releasing gas and there is an ignition spark but doesn't light. Is this a common issue?
try pressing the oven regulator knob for a while 3 to 5 seconds on ignition its a safty thing so kids cannot gas themselves all cookers have them. you have to hold it in.

Wow, that is a lot of problems with one cooker.
First of all, there must be an inspection of an engineer.
I am afraid he will tell you to buy a new one, as repair with so many troubles will cost a lot of money.
Timers are often the source of problems.
When that occurs, the oven that is controled by the timer will not work. For the Rangemaster Exel 110, the left hand oven is served by the timer, so this oven should not work too.
In this case, I would test the element in the right hand oven, as I think, it is gone.
When this cooker has an ignitor that works by pressing the knob, then all knobs work like it is one knob. That means, if no sparkplug ignites, then there is a problem with the ignitor or with the wireing.
When there is at least one plug that ignites, then the problem is in the contacts of the other knobs.
The light of the oven is a neon light, that only needs a very small amount of current. I think, that this light is on because of other electric problems. As soon as those problems are solved, the oven lamp will work again as it should.
I wish you a wonderfull weekend and a lot of succes, Dik
this cooker has an ignition system by pressing the knob of the item that you want to ignite.
As all sparkplugs work and only the oven is the source of the problem, i think that the contact behind the knob of the oven sticks
It looks like this one and is behind the facia, between the knob and the valve.
The knob won't have any effect on the flame size. The knob controls temperature. If you're referring to the pilot light staying on and then the main flame not going on...that's another problem. If the main flame will not go on, the assembly that controls the main flame is likely defective. If the unit has a thermocouple, you might change it out first. Sometimes, that's all that is needed and they're cheap.
