Electric gas stove oven not lighting.

If the burners do not light or produce a low flame check the stove s supply valve. As the igniter draws electric current it will heat to a high temperature and glow as well as cause the bi metal in the oven safety valve to warp and open the valve releasing the gas to be ignited. A gas oven that does not light is experiencing one of three difficulties. Simple observations narrows down the issue to a solvable problem.

But unlike with coil element or electric stoves you have to ignite the burners to be able to cook anything on a gas stove. The hot surface igniter is used in modern gas oven burners to open the gas valve and to ignite the gas. A gas range will always make a clicking noise whenever you turn on the surface burner knob after which the burner will light. Fortunately the problem is usually something you can resolve yourself.

No burner ignition no gas to the burner or a combination of both. This sequence normally takes about a minute. The noise comes from an electric igniter that sparks the burner and stops when the burner lights at least after clicking 3 times. All gas no electrical power save for the light.

The unit is getting power as evidenced by the working burners so there must be something wrong with the oven heating element. Open the door of the oven s broiler section.
