The oven of GE Profile range simply stopped igniting

Burners work, clock, fan, etc. all work. Oven simply does not ignite after I set temp and press start. Graphic shows oven is on but no sound of ignition and temp stays at 100. No smell of gas. Isn't it a spark ignitor? It's an XL44 Self-Cleaning Gas Range--new in 1999.

If it is a ge it would have a glow bar ignitor, either a flat rectangle shaped or a round ignitor. That is want the problem is 95% of the time. It is pretty easy to do. The floor of the stove will come right out and it probably has two screws in the back corners you can see. Remove them and the floor will lift out and you can see the burner and the ignitor.

I have a GE Profile free standing gas range JGB920sefss, the display for the clock & oven temp etc doesn't work so we can't use the oven, but the burners and interior oven light work any ideas???

Sorry, usually that is a bad control board. It looks like they are available at www.appliancepartspros.com for $121.50 You'll have to decide if it is worth fixing.

GE Gas Range Over Won't Heat

Hello, Yes this is going to be the bake igniter. If you remove the lower panel in the oven you will see the bake igniter. It may still be working when you switch on the oven but it is not getting up to the correct temp in order to ignite the gas. Replace the igniter and you will be all set. If you have any other questions please feel free to comment. Good Luck! Mike

Lower oven burner will not light.

Hi I have a older GE that the oven won't light. It is a gas range that is electric ignited. The top burners do work but the oven will not light. Is it pricey to have this fixed?

GE Spectra TrueTemp Oven Pilot is Out

REmove bottom panel from stove. shut gas off for at LEAST 5 min. Longer is better. Then placel open flame above gas nozzle, slowly turn to ignite posiiton. After it is lit, wait 30 seconds and turn to on positon.
If by chance this model doens't have a knob for this, then turn gas valve off for 5 min, let fumes evaporate, light flame, place over nozzle, turn gas on.replace bottom oven panel slowly.

GE Profile Spectra XL 44 gas oven

If you can smell the gas when you turn on the oven, it may be on a separate igniter that has gone bad. I would check this first. If you are not getting gas to the oven, there is possibly an issue with the supply line.
