SOURCE: Magic Chef Gas Oven - Heats up slowly and has intermittent gas smell
STOP USING THE OVEN IMMEDIATELY!!! You are not getting enough air to the burners to burn all the fuel. Not only will you have an explosion hazard, you'll have a carbon monoxide hazard either of which will KILL YOU. Read all of the info below before you begin.
You need to clean all the burners and inlets thoroughly. You probably used the oven for a lot of broiling of meats or it is quite old. The deposits are clogging the tubes which gauge the amount of air entering the burners or the burner holes themselves. The burner tubes are generally removable by removing one screw and giggling the units clear. Before taking anything apart, note carefully the positions of any mix plates and scribe small marks between the two surfaces. Use a heavy duty cleaner or WD-40 to loosen grime. Don't use abrasives like Comet. Then wash in mild detergent with hot water and dry. Be sure all burner openings are clear. After assembly, note the color of the flames. They should be about 90% blue along their length from the burner head. If they are not, you didn't finish the job cleanly or you have another problem. If the burners are old, rusty or have irregularly shaped flame holes, replace them.
SOURCE: lighting pilot light on magic chef gas range
Hello Jim,
Try to replace the ignitor if it is more than 3 or 4 yrs. old..If it not that old then Turn the knob to the pilot setting and depress the handle. Holding it
down and at the same time, press down on the red button that sparks.
You may have to repeat this a few times. Once the pilot lights,
continue to hold down on the pilot knob for about 30 seconds. When you
release the knob, the flame should stay oN. If it does not, replace the
thermocouple. Once the pilot flame is steady, turn the gas valve knob
to on!!!..Thank you...
Hope this helps you!!...
Regards!!!....
