Dacor gas range displays F50 and oven will not ignite

Safety first: Turn OFF electrical power and shut off the gas supply before working on gas components. If you smell gas, ventilate the area and do not operate electrical switches; contact your gas supplier.

• Verify gas supply: Ensure the manual gas shutoff valve to the range is fully open and that other gas appliances in the home are working.
• Inspect igniter: Remove the oven bottom panel to view the bake igniter. Look for cracks in the igniter element or broken wires.
• Test igniter current: With a clamp meter (advanced users only), measure igniter current draw when calling for bake. If current is below manufacturer spec, replace the igniter.
• Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the igniter to the gas valve and control board for burns or breaks. Repair as needed.
• Gas valve: If a new igniter glows but the burner never lights, the gas safety valve may be defective and should be replaced.

Gas system diagnosis is best performed by a qualified technician due to explosion and fire risks.
