Possible Causes

Blocked oven burner ports, Faulty oven ignition electrode, Weak spark generator, Incorrect gas pressure or wrong injector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off gas supply and power. Work in a well-ventilated area and avoid open flames.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect burner: Remove the oven base panel to access the oven burner. Clean ports with a soft brush.
  • 2. Check ignition: Observe the spark at the oven electrode when attempting to light. If weak or absent, clean or replace the electrode and check the spark generator.
  • 3. Verify flame size: Once lit, ensure the flame is strong and blue. A very small flame may indicate incorrect injector or low gas pressure; this must be checked by a gas-safe technician.
  • 4. Replace burner or injector: If the burner is corroded or warped, replace it along with the correct Indesit injector for your gas type.
