House power was interrupted during cleaning cycle. I reset the clock and started the cleaning cycle again. Although the indicator lights came on, the oven didn’t heat during the cleaning cycle and the oven will not light at all. The top burner still lights and functions as a broiler. Also, this stove has a warming drawer that does work!

Thanks, but I already took off the bottom pan and the igniter doesn’t glow. The igniter at the top of the oven also does not glow when I turn the oven, but does when I turn on the broiler. I assume that the two must be connected so that if one doesn’t work, they both won’t work. I suspect that either the igniter is bad or the control panel needs to be replaced.
Most likely the problem is a bad Bake igniter. For more accurate advice we need the complete model number of the oven.

model is Kenmore (frigidare) 790.78692401
Remove the oven floor and the flame spreader. Check for 120VAC to the Bake igniter while the control calls for Bake. If there is proper voltage then replace the igniter.
- The part number for the Bake igniter is AP3963540

Gene,
I checked and have no voltage to the lower igniter when I turn the on. Control panel?? Jim
Locate the Bake gas safety valve. Remove the two wires from the gas valve terminals and check for continuity between them. If the circuit is open then the gas valve has to be replaced.
Post the results.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. Jim
The display on my oven has gradually faded away to nothing.I can still enter time and temperature, it will work but, but no readout, Does require complete replacement, or cannit be repaired, thank you.
I have the exactly problem and same model oven. The rang works well. I have replaced the igniter with a new one. The igniter just doesn’t glowing. Then I checked the continuity of the igniter and the continuity of the gas valve. They are all good. What could be wrong? Thanks.
