Gas oven will not ignite; cooktop burners may still work, and there is no gas smell from the oven.

Safety first: Turn off the gas supply and power before servicing. If you smell gas, ventilate the area and do not ignite flames.

• Observe igniter:
  • Restore power and start a bake cycle; look through the oven bottom panel for the igniter glow.
  • If it does not glow, or glows but the burner never lights, turn power OFF and continue.
• Test igniter:
  • Remove the oven bottom panel and flame spreader to access the igniter.
  • Disconnect the igniter and measure resistance; an open igniter is defective.
  • Even if not open, a weak igniter may not draw enough current to open the gas valve; replacement is recommended if the burner does not light within 60 seconds.
• Check gas valve:
  • If a new igniter glows but the burner still does not light, the gas safety valve may be faulty and should be replaced.
