Hi,
The oven pilot is not lit for my gas stove. I got down and looked underneath the oven and can see the fixture but not sure where I should place fire.
How long should I hold the fire to the fixture? What temperature should the oven be set too?
Thanks!
According to the model number you supplied it looks like your oven use a glow bar ignitor not a pilot light. In that case there is no place to hold a fire. what happens with these when you turn the oven on 120 volts goes to the ignitor causing it to heat up ,the amp draw across the ignitor causes the gas safety valve to open, and then lights the gas. So if you turn your oven on you should see a bright red glow if not probably the the ignitor, to check it you would have to verify you actually have power going to it. If the ignitor glows but the gas valve does not open you will still need to replace the ignitor has to pull about 3.2 amps across ignitor to open safety valve. Your broil burner works the same way. And most of the ovens the floor of the oven comes out to allow easier acess to the ignitor. also if you have to change the ignitor put just a dab of dish detergent on the screws to help from stripping them
How much do ignitor cost and is it safe to change them myself?
Can it be replaced by myself or must a repair person do it?
