Possible Causes

Failed oven igniter, No gas supply or closed gas shutoff valve, Faulty gas safety valve, Ignition control not sending power to igniter

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you smell gas, do not attempt to light the oven. Turn off the gas supply, ventilate the area, and contact your gas supplier or a technician immediately.

Steps to try:

  • Verify gas supply: Ensure the manual gas shutoff valve to the range is fully open and other gas appliances are working.
  • Observe igniter: Start a bake cycle and look through the oven bottom or access panel to see if the igniter glows. If it does not glow at all, it may be open or not receiving power.
  • Test igniter: With power disconnected, remove the igniter and measure resistance. A typical BlueStar-style glow igniter should show continuity; an open circuit indicates failure.
  • Replace igniter: Install a new BlueStar-compatible oven igniter, mounting it securely and routing wires away from flame.
  • If igniter glows but no flame: A weak igniter may not draw enough current to open the gas valve. Replace the igniter first. If the problem persists, the gas safety valve or ignition control may be faulty and should be tested by a professional.
