Gas oven will not heat at all; no glow from igniter and no gas odor.

Safety first: Turn off power and shut off gas before removing panels. If you ever smell strong gas, do not attempt repair—ventilate and contact your gas supplier.

Steps to check and correct:

• Confirm power: Verify the range has power (clock/display on). Check the breaker and reset if tripped.
• Observe igniter: Start a bake cycle and look through the oven window. If the igniter does not glow at all within 60 seconds, turn the oven off and proceed.
• Access igniter: Remove oven racks, bottom panel, and flame spreader to expose the igniter. Inspect for cracks or broken ceramic.
• Test igniter: With power off, disconnect the igniter and test for continuity. Replace if open.
• Check wiring and valve: If the igniter is good, inspect wiring to the safety valve and control. If you are not equipped to test live voltage to the valve, call a technician.

When to call a technician: If replacing the igniter does not restore heat, or if the safety valve or control is suspected, professional gas service is required.
