About a year ago we replaced the igniter in my ge gas oven and that fixed the first issue, for like a year but now the oven heats up but I guess the gas builds up in the oven and tonight it blew the door open and I ws getting ready to put the food in and fire came out and caught my bangs and my arm on fire when it did that. I made a big BOOM as the fire like exploded out. I am terrified to use this oven again, and will most likely buy a new one, but I really can't afford that, so what could this issue be and how can my boyfriend or I fix it? even calling an appliance repair guy out is almost as much as s new oven....
Sounds like the gas valve is leaking un plug the range and use a soapy water to find the leak
Testimonial: "thank you, I will try that but I am thinking this is a dangerous problem, I am going to see how much it would be to have someone come out and diagnose the issue for me, maybe I will check angies list. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know."
here's what i discovered : I turn the temp control to warm wait for it to beep 3 times to signal it has preheated,then i turn it to 350 or whatever temperature I desire, no boom, no gas build up, believe it or not my son who is also on Fixya solved the problem and it works for me for right now, i have instructed everyone in the house to heat the oven up this way ONLY. not sure what all this means as to the problem, but it is working for us. if anyone else wants to tell me what they think please feel free. thanks
