Gas Dacor oven will not ignite in bake mode; you may hear clicking but no flame, or no clicking at all.

Safety first: Turn off electrical power and shut off the gas supply before removing panels. If you smell strong gas, ventilate the area and do not attempt to light the oven.

• Verify gas supply: Ensure the gas shutoff valve to the oven is fully open and other gas appliances are working.
• Observe ignition: Restore power and start a bake cycle while watching through the oven window. If the igniter does not glow or spark within 30–60 seconds, it is likely faulty.
• Test igniter: For glow-bar types, measure current draw with a clamp meter (typically 3.2–3.6 A when good). Low current indicates a weak igniter that should be replaced. For spark systems, inspect the electrode for cracks and proper gap.
• Check gas valve: If the igniter glows strongly but the burner never lights, the gas safety valve may be defective and should be replaced after confirming proper igniter operation.
• Ignition control: If there is no spark and the electrode and wiring are good, the ignition module or control board may be at fault.

Warning: Gas work should be performed by a qualified technician. Do not bypass safety valves or attempt makeshift repairs.
