How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Repeated booming can damage the oven and indicates a combustion issue. Limit use until resolved.
Steps to try:
- Clean burner: Remove the bake burner and clean all ports thoroughly.
- Check igniter position: Ensure the igniter is properly positioned close to the burner ports where gas first exits.
- Replace igniter: If ignition is delayed (several seconds of gas flow before lighting), replace the igniter with a new BlueStar-compatible part.
- Professional evaluation: If booming persists, have a technician check gas pressure and burner alignment.
