Possible Causes

Weak oven igniter, Partially blocked burner orifice, Low gas pressure or faulty regulator, Failing bake burner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off gas and power before disassembling. If you suspect a gas supply issue, contact a licensed gas technician.

  • Observe flame: With the bottom panel removed, start a bake cycle and observe the burner flame. It should be strong and mostly blue. Small, weak, or uneven flames indicate a gas flow issue.
  • Clean burner and orifice: Turn off gas and power. Remove the burner and clean ports. Carefully remove the orifice and clear debris with compressed air (do not drill or enlarge).
  • Check igniter: A weak igniter can cause delayed or incomplete gas valve opening. If the igniter glows dull or takes a long time to light the burner, replace it.
  • Regulator and pressure: Ensure the range’s gas regulator is correctly oriented and not converted incorrectly. Have a technician verify inlet and manifold pressure.
