Frigidaire Gas Oven Won't Heat - How to Troubleshoot and Fix a Gas Stove in Easy Steps
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Having a gas oven or gas stove that won't heat can cause a huge number of problems at home, but they tend to be really easy to work with, and the repairs usually are not that hard. Today, we got a Kenmore branded gas stove that won't heat in the oven, so I decided to test and fix it on camera. I go over the entire troubleshooting process of things to check to be comprehensive, and also give you some tips on the Frigidaire Oven Igniter replacement we used in the video, as the OEM version would have been way over $100.

Note that this stove was Kenmore-brand, but was really a Frigidaire underneath. I may use the terms interchangeably in the video - most gas stoves are very similar however, and the tips will work for almost any brand.

For me both my oven and broiler won’t work or ignite. Safety valve tested fine. What else could it be? If one igniter is bad does it shut the whole system off including gas for the broiler? @bensappliancesandjunk
@@douglasmc98 Do the top burners work?
@@bensappliancesandjunk not the OP, but I have the same issue. The top burners (the stove range) work fine, but both the broiler and lower oven igniters do not turn on.
Bump. Having the same issue. Top burners work. Safety valve checks good with multi meter
@@seanhogan7881 what is amp draw on igniter?
Thank you for this great tutorial. I just fixed my oven for $25 and it took 20 minutes!! You rock bro’!!!
Dude your 13 min video just saved me 4 hours. I genuinely love you
Ben THANK a you for this video! I just replaced the igniter on my mom’s Frigidaire oven following your directions and it went very smoothly. I’ve never attempted to repair any appliance and your guidance was spot on! And, the replacement part was only $35! As they say, if mom isn’t happy, ain’t nobody happy, and thanks to you mom is very happy now!
Omg You are awesome you saved our little struggling family a bunch of money. Got the part from your shop followed the video and even cleaned it up while it was apart. Thank you so much ❤
Thanks so much! I even saved money ordering my part from you! My husband was doubtful but you saved us AT LEAST 950.00 and 6 months waiting for a new stove!!! You are the best!!!!!
So glad it helped!
Ben, Great video! We were able to save a substantial amount of money by using your video. The starter would glow but not ignite. The safety valve tested "Good" so we replaced the starter and that did the trick. My local appliance company wanted $130 plus shipping for the part plus the cost of the service call. Thanks.
Just changed my igniter. Couldn't have asked for better guidance. Thank you!
We were not sure if the ignitor was really the culprit, but decided that it was worth it to try it out. We ordered the part and my son followed your directions and replaced the ignitor. Incredible!!! My oven is working better than ever, and to think we almost spent big bucks on a technician!!! Thank you thank you thank you, your instructions are clear and easy to follow, huge savings and a working oven, we're very happy!!!
Thank you for this helpful video. It's almost like you were in my kitchen as we have the same range. Oven wouldn't heat up, all other functions normal including bright orange glow had me scratching my head. I believe what fixed it was 'rebooting' it's computer as I unplugged it to slide it out, inspect the gas lines/valve and clean around it. After plugging it back in and resetting the clock it is working fine. My daughter and I baked cookies.
Huge help, fixed my oven for a fraction of the cost!
Excellent step by step to rule out all different possibilities…thank you for doing what you do…
Just fixed my Frigidaire oven today. I took your advice and ordered the same generic ignitor that you have in your video on eBay for $20 including tax and shipping. (Paypal had a special offer that gave me an extra $12 off, so ignitor cost me $8 only). I had to cut the wires off the old one to splice into the new one, but that is ok as I used to be a junior auto mechanic and have those tools. Worked like a charm. Now I have an oven again and did not fall prey to OEM ignitor markup. I rent an apartment so this was the management's problem to fix, but I did it myself if I could to save them the headache and I don't want people over at my place. With the confidence I gained, right after I also fixed a leaky toilet flapper that kept leaking water out of the toilet bowl causing it to continuously refill 50X more often than necessary. Again, management's problem, but if I can fix it myself I do it as I don't want people over here. Thanks for the help.
This was very helpful. I followed the instructions and fixed it with a $19 part from Amazon that arrived the next day. Pretty sure I saved about $250 in this case. The repair took about 20 minutes after doing the research to learn what I was doing.
Thanks for the help!
Thank you for this video...saved me a lot of green. Well done!
Thank you so much for the easy to follow video and guidance on these common problems. The real gem is how you breakdown the cost of the replacement igniter compared to these rip off websites, I cannot believe it!!! So glad I found this video, it helped me get the job done. You have a new subscriber for life !
The igniter work just fine as I investigated a little more with a wiring there was a broken wire I put together and now it is working great thank you for your video
Loved the instructions. You are the only one I found that shows the oven light, when finished.
Thank you for showing that, and the importance of what “could have happened” if you don’t unplug things before servicing!
Curious about the flames in the oven, though.
My Fiancé’s Frigidaire Professional had a bad ignitor, too. I just fixed this, when I converted it to LP.
Now, it looks great in our new house!
…but, she didn’t recall flames shooting up the walls.
Now she did say that the oven only worked briefly after she bought it.
I used your video to try to put her mind at ease.
So, if you’re not worried about flames, then I’m not!
😬
Thank you. Our oven went out the day before relatives came for Thanksgiving. We were able to cook everything with the broiler and it was a little tricky. Turkey on he outdoor charcoal grill. The new igniter, an after market one, came this morning, Saturday, after everyone had lef, but thanks to your nice directions I was able to fix it just fine.
I have a frigidaire oven that needed an ignitor. For anyone that needs to know, without the ignitor fixed the gas valve will not open and the oven can't be lit using a manual pilot light. Google was misleading as it said that it can be bypassed, it can't. The stove burners worked fine while the oven did not.
Does that mean that the broiler also won’t work? Mine just stopped working both the oven and broiler stopped working.
Tested the safety valve and it was fine.
@@douglasmc98 The gas to the oven does not turn on and can't be lit using a manual pilot light. The ignitor must be replaced.
Good to know! Our oven stopped working on but the burners work.
@@DaishaH9 The gas to the oven is probably blocked by a valve that is detecting the ignitor is broken. that is why the oven won't turn on and the burners on top still work. Fix the ignitor is probably the answer. Check if the ignitor is turning on, glowing.
Thank you for this information very good use.
Thank you!!!! This was very helpful finding my way through my first oven repair. I found though, that cleaning the leads and the surface of the nc-4197-5 valve between the leads solved the issue. Actually, cup cakes are being baked as I type this. Again, thank you so much!
What a beast. Didn’t even cuss when you took that shock.
You guys are awesome! You help so many people. Thank you.
this channel is absolutely fantastic, subbed
Thanks for this you showed me exactly what to look for. Our oven had been slow to heat, and finally stopped heating at all, but the broiler was fine. That amperage from the ignitor was exactly 2.61 amps. It was probably declining unnoticed for the last few months.
Glad it helped. You get a lot that seem OK but really aren't and the amp clamp is the only way to truly know.
Super informative and a good personality 👊😎 Good stuff bud!! God bless you and your success!
Great video Ben!! Thank you for posting!!
Great commentary good job . Explaining in a way that is very understandable
I hope everyone likes this video. I've had people ask about doing a gas stove/igniter video, and finally had the chance to film it for them!
Thanks for this video, I fixed our oven issue using your steps. Bake ignitor replacement in our case.
I replaced igniter as shown in video, awesome! Oven lights again now! BUT now, only some of the time, when my oven tries to relight to maintain temperature during baking, there is a wooshing blowtorch noise. Sometimes it will then light after a fraction of a second. Other times it continues a couple of seconds and i get nervous and turn everything off. It will eventually get over this hiccup, but i have to babysit the oven the whole time I am baking. What could cause this?
Thanks for your video, it was very informative and helpful 👍🏼
5:55, the igniter needs to be mounted between the screws and the threaded holes in the burner tube, still great video. 10/10
Thank you for the video. You saved me a bunch of money and time with it.
Just ordered the ignitor for my model. Hopefully this fixes it. Remember back in the day when our parents didn't have to worry about things like this because appliances were simpler?
My oven worked fine until yesterday. It just won’t light. Range and broiler work as expected so it must be the igniter. I just ordered one online and am looking forward to trying to fix it. Gonna be hard to live without my daughters fresh baked cookies for the next week.
Thanks for your video, I really appreciate the info.
100% helped me out. Looks like my igniter is out. No glow.
Damn Dude you saved my Thanksgiving 💯 me and my family appreciate it Brother
Thank you. Very helpful.
Ben just want to ask a question which would be the best gas range that you would say to buy with a convection oven
Very helpful. Those flames in your oven! 😮 You have a grill!
Great video Sir! You saved me a lot of money. This video was very informative and detail oriented. Thank you for very much.
Glad it helped
thanks for the helpful video! Pretty sure the igniter is gone on our Frigidaire and will replace the t-stat at the same time. Can universal t-stats be used and wired in the same way as the igniter, or does that need to be a more exact fit since it go thru the oven out the back?
thank you for a great video, I have a bit of a unique situation with my oven that I was hoping for your expert advice. When I turn on my oven, I hear clocking, I smell gas but the oven doesn't turn on. Some times it takes oven 2-3 attempts to turn on and some times I wont turn on at all! I've changed the igniter multiple times which fixes the issue for a day or two but I have not been able to find the root cause. really appreciate it if you could let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
My oven was a little different design, but you showed all the fundamentals so I got through the job just fine :D
One note I might add is, at least on my oven, those door hinges are *spring loaded* and have a *lot* of force behind them. I didn't have one of the little retainers down all the way and that hinge shot flush into the door and scared the crap out of me lol It also made it harder to reinstall because I had to pry that hinge back out far enough to lock down the retainer before I could get both sides of the door hooked back in. I thought they were just some sort of unlocking mechanism, but they serve a dual role of both unlocking the hinge from the oven *and* also keeping the hinge springs in the door compressed.
Anyway, wonderful and helpful video! :D But I gotta ask... Are all those flames coming up out of the bottom of your oven a side effect of the propane conversion or something? I've never seen flames come bursting into the oven like that. I was, like,
🔥🧯👀 lol
Hi, Bens. Are the spark plug/igniter all the same or brand specific for gas cooktop? I can see "universal spark igniter" on the internet, not sure if it can work for most cooktops. Thanks
Ben - do you have the oven ( bake) ignitor for Frigidaire LFGF3054TFF in stock ? If so, how do I order from your store ?
Hi I have a question if you want to answer that's cool I understand I have a Kenmore similar to the one that you showed and the stove when the with the oven on will heat up and then it will throw out a some gas and then light up again and work and then throw out the smell of gas in my life is concerned it sounds to me that one of the two things that you just talked about is the issue without taking it apart. I'm crippled up pretty bad so I just thought I'd ask before I started to get down on the floor he's getting down on the floor is easy but getting up sucks I got a bad knee and a bad back and some other things and getting on the floor is not fun anymore as you guessed I'm a little older but I'm still willing to look and fix and do. Thanks thanks for the video best regards Bob from Virginia USA
Great video!!! In my Frigidaire Speed Bake oven the ignitors are the same for broil and bake. The housing piece is different and the wires are a different length. My bake ignitor was glowing but not as much as my broil ignitor which was igniting the broiler. I decided to swap them to isolate the failure. When I got them out, the broil ignitor was nice and black, almost new. The bake ignitor looked like it was burnt, a dull grey color. Worked like a charm! Now I have to go to your site and get a replacement for the broil ignitor!
Great tutorial. I’m a renter and I will attempt this instead of bothering the grounds person
Thanks Ben. I am in the process of selecting which brand appliances to buy for my new home.
Wondering which brand or brands you would recommend in terms of least problems and/or easier to do a diy repair and parts avalibility. I live in Canada
I'm working on a video about that. Hope to have it out in a week
@@bensappliancesandjunk Thanks a bunch. I am looking forward to seeing your video before placing a buy order.
Please include French door Fridge, Gas Stove, Washer Dryer and Dish Washer.
Appreciate your insight into this.
Hoping you have some ideas for me. I replaced my igniter on my fidgidair range and now my wife smells propane. I have checked all the connections with soap water and can not find a leak.
I had tested it before she told me, (I can't smell anything but that's not unusual) and it works fine, both over and burners. I have gas off now
Any suggestions before I call in a repair man?
My Kenmore gas oven made a click then popped the breaker. After that it won't heat up. I changed out the igniter but the new igniter won't light either. Broiler and range top still work. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Our oven doesn't light up while the stovetop works fine. However, if we tap hard enough on the metal pipe close to the ignitor it will ignite and will work for a bit until the stove gets to the right temperature, but once the fire goes out it won't ignite again on its own. Would that still be an ignitor problem?
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank for dis video dude but had to laugh about dat shock. Sorry it happened but we learned wat not to do 😂thank again
Do you have a part number for the safety valve? Thank you!
Good day…i replaced the control center, thermostat, igniter, got continuity at safety valve (both sides). Still no lite on fridgaire oven…cook top works. What’s next? Any help appreciated…
This is probably a dumb question, but here goes: the wiring is all behind the oven, correct? Is there a way to get to it without pulling out the whole unit? I have a small galley kitchen, so any work-arounds (if they exist) would be helpful!
Thank you for such a great video, btw! :)
It depends on what you need to do. The oven igniter and safety valve are both front-accessible and are usually the culprit for most of the issues. The thermometer and regulator valve need to be accessed from the rear typically, though. You MAY be able to unscrew the thermostat, pull the wire and disconnect from the front but that's going to vary from model to model.
@@bensappliancesandjunk You're awesome, thanks for the reply! Based on your diagnostics in the video, it does seem like it's the ignitor. I am assuming I'll see the wiring set-up once I remove the bottom of the oven? I haven't done it yet, was just trying to plan accordingly. Thanks again!
Hey we just switched a NG to LP. Followed instructions from another video, everything works, burners, broil works. Our ignitor for the oven glows but no flames ever start up? What is going on? are we not waiting long enough we get worried having it just run and run trying to get it lit. Like i said everything works fine, the ignitor glows, just no flames. The ignitor for the broiler seems to light the flame after about 5-10 seconds after it comes on. Would expect the same for the oven one right? A speedy reply would be lovely.
I'd check amperage on the ignitor. Could have been going bad and something got knocked loose during the conversion.
I need help!! Trying to convert our gas stove to propane and the oven flame is huge. how do you adjust the oxygen shutter on the new models????
I'm a bit miffed by my oven. A month of so ago I came home from work to see the clocked pegged at 2:41. It did it again a week or so later. Then one night it "spontaneously" came on and heated very hot. I unplugged it and left it that way overnight. The next day I plugged it in and it worked fine. Three days later I went to back a pizza and it only got lukewarm and not I am not sure what to think.
I have a fridgidaire that won’t preheat but it does heat up. I changed the ignition, the temp probe and control board and still does it.
My oven flames are coming out just like yours at the end. I've adjusted the valve and air shutter but can't get it to be a nice small blue flame. Any ideas?
Was there a solution to flames licking up the oven walls?
Or, is that just how it is?
My Fiancé had a Frigidaire Professional with a bad ignitor.
I fix it similarly… ‘cept I unplugged mine, but, I have never seen a stove like this function.
The flames were a surprise.
I opened my shutters completely, but the flames continue.
He said he changed it over to propane . he probably hadnt adjusted he flame yet.
How did you fix the oven flame mine is too high
I replaced the igniter with a replacement one not the original. The bar still does not heat up what could be the problem.
Hi Ben, thank you for the tutorial, is the best way to donate money to you via RUclips?
Hi, I have an old GE XL44, the ignitor is in on, the safety valve have 1.1onh and 3.39amp.. but the gas not coming on.? Thanks
Does broil work?
my burners work fine, the ignitor glows brightly. I just replace the gas safety valve but the oven still doesn't light. I can't find the links on the control panel or T-stat test. Thanks
I found the control panel video. Thanks I'll pull that next.
I have a gas stove that can do broil, but not brake. I can see sparks come from the ignitor when switched to bake. I assume the gas valve is the thing to be replaced?
Uh, what? Is it a glow igniter or spark igniter? Also, is it actually releasing gas to attempt to ignite or not? There are many variables and its unlikely the gas valve.
Frigidaire oven we had a brownout on today I went to use my oven and I won't hold heat shuts off turns on figured it was the igniter so I replace the igniter with a new one went to use the try the oven and the igniter would not light socket hit the ignitor control I still have no other than goodnight or don't work could it be the thermostat
Helllllppp!!! If the igniter is replaced but oven still does not bake, how can one determine whether it is a valve problem or a control board problem without wasting money on unnecessary parts???
Hi I have frigidaire owen my BROIL is working but BAKE is not firing up is there any help please.thanks
I have a Kenmore Elite that's needs a safety valve. How can I get a quote for one. Thanks
Change the ignitors first I have seen them glow but as they get older they don’t pull enough amps for the control board to open the valve
@@TheMechanicj thank you sir, ordered an igniter from your website
Thank you for the igniter. Replaced it and now my oven works like new. 👍
I Just placed my order
I have the same issues but everything checked out and I have a new igniter and a board but still no bake function
What is broil doing?
@@bensappliancesandjunk It works fine
@@bensappliancesandjunk Something else I can seem to tell is what the power in and out of the board route truly is. I got with Frigidaire and they sent me the prints but both the ones that came with the oven and the ones they sent do not exactly match up to what I have. In the prints is shows like theres a K1relay that needs to close for the bake igniter but my board does not have this relay.
Anyone have any ideas? My broiler works! My oven burner does not. I have replaced the igniter 4 times, and at that we don’t get much time out of each one every time it will glow red but the gas wont come out and burn. Any ideas? I have replaced the temp sensor as well
Replaced ignitor, still doesnt work. broiler and burrners work. ignitor doesn't glow
My oven ignites, but does not get up to temperature and just sits at a low temperature.
Ben, your only supposed to touch that juice with your left hand , or is it the right hand ?? jeez I can never remember.
Exelect Work
Thanks!
So what happens if the igniter doesn't glow??
Its likely dead, replace it.
@@bensappliancesandjunk I bought a new igniter and still wouldn't glow what do you think it could be?? Stove top and broiler works well.
@@blanca6206 that’s why I don’t like this video. His philosophy is just throw parts at it…. Smh
Preheat works but bake does not????what will be issue in Frigidaire oven?
Frigidaire slide in range won’t open after self clean used.
..so no one is going to talk about how to remove the connector of the old ignitor....been under there for 20 minutes....whats the trick to getting them to break apart so I can put the new one on???
Depends on how connector is wired. I usually use a flathead to press in and twist to pry it apart.
Hope it reboots.
I have this Frigidaire stove and the oven will not light, but set the oven and turn a burner on and the oven works fine. So I am baffled with this one.
Valve issue most likely
@@bensappliancesandjunk I just replaced the safety valve for the oven. It still will not light.
@@bsgarey odd. So it works when you run 1 burner then run valve?
What amperage is the igniter getting when you just run the oven, then when the top is running? That is such a strange problem. i'd be looking at maybe a voltage drop due to a bad wire somewhere.
I replaced the whole burner/with factory installed igniter. Oven now works. Apparently a wiring short or something. @@bensappliancesandjunk
I replaced the Ignighter and now I have a F30 code
The igniter wasn't installed correctly.
Won’t open after self clean used.
Thank you for this I ordered a new igniter from you and replaced it but now the gas feeding the oven is like triple the amount as before. Any idea what is going on?
Only need to unlock oven.
Far better off leaving the door on they can be a pain the hinge latch can snap back and then you are stuck could possibly break the glass in the door. Just work around it not that hard.
I figured on this one it was too easy to do. Frigidaire are one of the few brands that have a good latch system that I can trust not to fail
I changed a valve with two sets of terminals like the one in your video. I forgot whether on one the white wire was closest to the front of the stove or the red one. On the other I forgot whether the blue was closest to the front of the stove or the white one. This video is the only images I have seen after weeks of searching that even shows a double valves wiring. I'm sure I don't have the bake and broil leads mixed up or anything. I found something that said explosion hazard if the wiring isn't correct. Any ideas where I should turn? This information doesn't seem to exist. It's a nx58k3310ss samsung stove with gas valve dg94-00449A. Thank you.
Mine heats fine if I can get it open. I set it on self-clean and it just went off, period.
Likely thermal cutoff popped behind the back panel
You Skipped the most important part! How to disconnect the igniter from locking position
I'll be honest I haven't seen many that have a locked position lately to of included it.
So.... Sorry Ben but I bought an igniter from your store on Dec 1st 2023 installed it when it arrived. Its now burned out. Tested with ohm meter gives OL reading (open circuit). The information you provided is correct! The parts from your store on the other hand.... Not impressed.
A day after posting the above comment I was contacted by Bens appliance store offering to replace the failed igniter. I already purchased a new igniter from a local appliance service center so I inquired about a refund instead. They kindly obliged. Excellent service glad they stand behind their products. Thanks again! Maybe I will give you a shot next time.
Your ads are ridiculous
Ok
Thanks!
Thanks!
