By "thing in bottom" Iam assuming your talking about the igniter. If you are and it is only glowing then it probably needs to be replaced. If you cant smell the gas either thats a worring sign in of itself. I would first replace the igniter and then go from there though. Let me know how it goes!!

Hi....you can call me M. G. and just to ease your mind, I am an appliance Technician & have been pretty much all of my adult life. Have you tried a product called Cerama Bryte? It looks like calamine lotion only white in color. You have to follow the directions on the back of the bottle & you may have to do it more than once, but it is the best & i don't really recommend anything else. And you are gonna have to find yourself a nonabrasive scuff pad.... and that's gonna help cut that stuff off the glass. best part is that Cerama Bryte makes several products devoted to cook-top cleaning including special Cleaning Pads for glass tops. Windex is the worst thing to use. And as a last resort, I have 1 more method, but you should do just fine with this one. I've seen it remove some serious stuff!! You can re-post if this doesn't correct your issue and I'll explain my "Last Resort Method"to you. And once you get that thing clean (or as clean as it will come), as a suggestion you probably need to clean the cook-top only with a product designed to clean cook-tops and the same day the mess is made so those stains won't build on top of one another. Well, good luck and hope I've been of some help :-)

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter

F1 code means a shorted keypad. Replace the membrane or control, depending how it's available

yes, check your timer or clock if the clock is set on automatic it will not work, needs to be on manuel. or it may need the oven ignitor, its berry sensitive its the part nest to the oven burner on the back.

Hi, this indeed sounds like an Thermostat or Thermistor sensor problem? This is the only real thing that can cause this problem usually.
You need to either obtain a service manual and troubleshoot the issue yourself, or get a "Quote" from a professional.

It does sound like the fault could be with the temperature sensor and I'm presuming you're not getting any error messages?.

If you could confirm the Model No. I'll look into it further.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

The problem seem to be with the bake igniter that is bad and needs replacement. You can test it for 2.8 to 3 ohms, if it will not read this then it needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Please post your entire model number.
Here is a picture that may help you find it.
It sounds as if the control is bad but we wont know until we can see the parts/wiring diagram.
That is why we need the model number. Thanks

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter

Hi

To clear this code...press and hold the dispenser lock & auto light buttons on the dispenser at the same time for around 10 seconds until the filter status indicator begins to flash and then release the buttons. If this won't work then you can try the dispenser lock & water buttons at the same time. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Oven ProblemsReplacing the Igniter

Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya.
Whenever your oven does not display the correct temperature this is due to a faulty temperature sensing probe this is a very common issue with all makes of ovens so dont feel left out lol any way what you will need to do is to contact your local appliance dealer and ask the if they have a temperature probe for your oven if not you can order it online thru repair clinic.com or appliance parts pro's .com all you need to provide them with is the make and model number of this oven ok ?
I have provided a picture of what this part will look like for you it is below this
Also this is a 34 dollar part

There are two possibilities for problems with the range. If it has a "timed bake" setting for the oven then it's possible that the last person who used it neglected to return the setting to the manual mode. In "timed bake" mode, the oven will heat to approx. 160 - 185 degrees, what is called a "keep warm" temp. It will maintain that heat setting regardless of what you set the oven temp control to, as long as you're not in the time frame that it's set to bake. This will make trying to bake anything a very difficult procedure.
The second possibility is that the oven glo coil igniter is cracked and will not heat to the proper temp to allow the electricity to flow through it to the oven gas safety valve to allow it to open and let the gas flow to the burner. These things are ceramic and for some reason crack in normal use. If it has a top broiler, that unit is obviously good. Unfortunately, the igniters are seldom interchangeable. You would need a tech to check the igniter with an ohmmeter.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

This indicates an open/shorted oven temperature sensor and to solve this problem the sensor needs replacement. If you wan to be sure before replacing the sensor then you can test it with a voltmeter for around 1100ohms....if it reads more then this then it needs replacement however, if the reading is around or less then 1100ohms then it is the control board that needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.
