Frigidaire Gallery series gas range model # FGF379WJCB doesn't heat up properly and at times not at all. Seems to vent all the heat out onto the stovetop when it is heating. Gets orange glow from the bottom of the oven, but when I try to preheat it, it often never heats up, sometimes does heat after an hour of preheating, and sometimes smells like gas is leaking. Have tried heating it up by running the broiler then selecting bake temp, but that doesn't hold heat..it just cools off gradually. Broiler works fine, stovetop works fine.
My oven does the same thing. I can see the glow but no heat in the oven for over an hour on preheat. What is the part number to replace the ignighter?My oven does the same thing.

bought my FGF379WJCB not long ago and it too has an oven tempurature thing going on, doesnt always heat up and if does is slow to. quite annoying when there are 20 friends over for baked dinner and you have to call kentucky ducky! Broiler works. will try the igniter change scenariobought my FGF379WJCB not long ago and it too has an oven tempurature thing going on, doesnt always heat up and if does is slow to. quite annoying when there are 20 friends over for baked dinner and you have to call kentucky ducky!

I have the same symptom with the same stove. One question I have, though, is that with mine, the oven will eventually heat up to, say 400, and display that temperature but if I turn the oven off then then on again, the actual temperature will be much lower. This seems more of a temperature sensor problem than an ignition problem. Was your's the same?

after resetting the time due to day light savings time the oven and broiler does not work. Checked the heat elements they checked good. On the digital display I select oven and select the temp, the lights show oven working and it clicks showing preheat, but the elements never heat up.after resetting the time due to day light savings time the oven and broiler does not work.

Hello Hilda, thank you for your post! There could be a number of any one of several underlying causes in why the oven is experiencing this particular issue: ·Convection heating element ·Thermal cutout ·Thermal oven sensor ·EOC (electronic oven control) ·Ignitor, ·Bake or broil element ·All wired connections ·Lastly the oven cavity and insulation should be checked to ensure there are no gaps or damages that will leak out the heat.
The parts above will need to be assessed for further evaluation by a technician since it is always a good idea to get the appropriate diagnosis prior to making any unnecessary part replacements.
Good Afternoon Gwen - Try reprogramming the range by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. If issue persists, then the unit could possibly be experiencing an issue with a wiring failure, EOC (electronic oven control), sensor probe and/or faulty bake or broil element. I would strongly recommend consulting a professional to narrow down the precise issue before investing in parts that may or may not be the root cause.
You would definitely want to seek out a professional technician to diagnose the unit. Gas units are very dangerous if you are not use to working on them. You could have a slow gas connection or flow, a faulty valve, or bad ignition. All would absolutely need a professional to diagnose and repair, this is not a typical DIY job.
most likely you have a bad ignitor,if it glows and it doesn't ignite the flame within 40 seconds the ignitor is bad.just because it glows doesn't mean it's good.
Hi, That is the oven vent and it will throw alot of heat when the oven is on... that is very normal operation...the oven needs to be vented to for various reasons...
This can be a great benefit in the winter time but is very uncomfortable in the summer...so limit the summer use and use it like crazy in the winter...
