    Very helpful Gracias.

  2. is there a separate igniter for the broiler and the oven?

    Hello, i am inquiring about my Samsung Nat Gas Over, that’s works but we smell Gas when first turn on, could this be the heating Element going bad?

  4. So my issue is I turn to bake and it won’t get hot but you turn to broil and it come right on….now the broiler part isn’t working either …I think I have 2 different problems help!

  5. Why my gas oven temperature only heat up to 150 degrees and won’t go any higher?

  6. Is there any way to test the safety valve that’s enough for sure that’s the problem the igniter glows and gets hot but it just won’t catch flame 🔥

  7. Whirlpool, they suck. The way mine is designed the ignition cords are exposed resulting in premature wear. This oven is 2 years old and driving us insane.

    Yes I have a Frigidaire range and the oven or broiler will not light . I have changed the electric igniter and still nothing . I saw where they was talking about a switch on the regulator when I call it does any one have a picture to show the on and off switch way it on and off .

  9. Kenmore stoves are junk fix my oven two years ago 400 bucks for parts and broke again. No more time for a new stove this one came with the house I bought.

  10. Hi, I hope you can help me with my issue. My not so old but cheap and simple range Amana all the time ignites oven to some 100 degrees and shuts it off while gas handle is completely off. Non stop. What can I do, beside replacing this range. Thanks!!!

  11. Lets ask: the botton oven ignitor is glowing, but fails to get the gas to flame over 18th an ich of flame. so can I swap the broilers ignitor to the bottom and if the broiler fails the ignitor is to blame. turkey day, used the BBQ so tomorrow on shopping day I wonder if a sale is on this part, NOT

  12. You were right. Glowing igniter was the cause. Thanks!!

  13. What would cause an oven to work intermittently based on ambient temperature? Started having trouble in the summer. Worked all winter and started not heating up all of the way again this summer. Sometimes gets to 160f, sometime only 125f

  14. You have saved me thousands of dollars ovens, fridge and nicrowaves. Thank you!

  15. Great video yall 😊

  16. ok. Mine is starting to have problems. it works than it don’t work. The ignighter is glowing. I played with the temp moved it up and than back. Than all of a sudden it worked. This is twice now. It is a digital kenmore. What do you think.

  17. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

    A little different but a oven related question🙂.
    Could it be that the oven wire has caulk around 2-3 inches of it is the reason why the surface light is on and then blinks off temporarily after using. I did notice a lighter fluid or gaseous smell. What could be the reason for the smell and why does the surface light stay lit most of the time except after I turn oven on?

  18. Best most informative videos. Thank you

  19. @guillermomillan254 March 14, 2025 at 10:17 am

    Whats the model number on the white Frigidaire used in this video?

  20. Zazur garlic bread 🍞

  21. @darrylbittle7139 March 14, 2025 at 10:18 am

    I saying that is a lot of help thanks 😅😅

  22. You know what? I didn’t even want to bake brownies anyway.

  23. 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?

  24. so the stove you show is the same one i have can’t find the damn number though

  25. Great advice !

  26. @dougprentice1363 March 14, 2025 at 10:25 am

    My oven comes on, but never reaches full temperature. All the videos I watch don’t address this. Help please.

  27. My oven was not heating up to the desired temp. I assumed it is the igniter and I ordered a new one. Is there anything else it could be? My oven is 25 years old.

  28. I want to bake my seafood stuffed bell peppers 😢 I’m going to pray over my stove, trusting God will fix it. 🙏

  29. Mine wont even turn on , when I hit the broil or bake button , the lights on the switchboard wont even turn on. I to8ght it was a faulty switchboard and replaced it but still no luck 😭😭😭

  30. These are reasons a oven won’t light. Not reasons it won’t heat up properly

  31. Could you give me it’s name? And what links can i by?

  32. Just light all the burners and crank up the oven. Give it a minute or two. Should work, if it’s not wiring issue.

  33. Thank you

  34. man my shi don’t get past 100 and i just wanted to make some brownies man

  35. OH MY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!! PLEASE GIMME A HUMAN BEING!!!!!

  36. My Kenmore elite model 790.3103 takes time to heat up and sometimes turns off with a error sound. I also hear a load thump when it turns on?

  37. I feel excited to repair

  38. @randykitchleburger2780 March 14, 2025 at 10:42 am

    RC rocks!

  39. Pizza Rolls for me :/

  40. My problem on my kenmore oven ended up being the valve that went bad. Dad saw this video and said it really helped him figure out troubleshooting the problem and also looked at the schematic that he found in a pouch behind the oven. It wasn’t as readily apparent right away that it was the valve because the broiler side of the valve still worked but the oven side did not. And we ruled out everything else (and all dysfunctional roads lead back to the valve when all the wires worked and whatnot). We replaced it and the oven works great now.

  41. My oven does not use electricity… video didn’t address this…..😕

  42. Very helpful. Thank you!

  43. @senorasheikh8018 March 14, 2025 at 10:46 am

    How we change jet of gas cooking range oven? I have tecnogas cooking range old model

  44. ge profile oven gas, oven wont heat over 150

  45. Need help assembling G. E. cooker model: JGBS10GEF1SA …
    … Could you assist me please ???

  46. My oven control face does a odd flash of number 1, then acts like its normal and pre heating, but nothing is happening. The flash of number 1 doesn’t seem to be an error code as the number is lit on the first left digit on the display and not like the other error codes I have seen before. If it wasn’t for that odd flash I would be happy to look into the heating element.. it started with error code power failer for a year or so, just reset the oven and it worked, then the oven would just not heat up sometimes, but would seem normal and can hear the click of the relay, just had to turn it off and back on to work. But now idk, with the odd flash 1 happening has me a tad worried the board might be doing something odd, especially since its shown power failure on and off for no reason. I guess I’m going to find out.

  47. I have a GE Gas Oven Model JGBS66DEK3WW. Only 3.5 years old. Oven wasn’t heating up. I unplugged power but didn’t shut off gas(should have for safety) I changed the igniter. Took 2 hours only because I couldn’t get the two screws that held the igniter. Unfortunately when I turned on the oven, the igniter lite up, but no gas came through. This model doesn’t have a utube to show how to light the pilot light. And that may not be the problem. I also read that you have to get the clock working. I did. The oven light, I would assume, should come on when I open the door, It doesn’t. The light will go on when I push the light switch. But I don’t want to have the light on all the time. Any suggestions why the pilot lite wont come on. There repair men are book way out around here. And if they were to come out it would cost almost the price of another stove. Soooo I am willing to try and fix. I hope you can help – — without me blowing up my home. Thank you!

  48. Thanks guys… Just fixed my oven with your info…

  49. I ate cookie dough, really wanted chocolate chip cookies! Help!
