Neither bake nor broil function work

Oven Repair (including Ranges and Cooktops)
1

Oven quit working while in use and no longer ignites. Hardly use the broil function, so not sure if this quit at the same time.

Replaced the igniter 1 year earlier and that worked. Went ahead and replaced it this time and now I have a spare since that was not the problem.

I do not hear the gas in the oven and obviously no spark. The only noise is a single click from the control board when turning the oven on/off.

The stovetop and all other electronics seem to work fine.

Any help as to the direction to proceed would be appreciated.

You may want to start the troubleshooting from testing the gas valve/regulator (#15 on the diagram).

Remove the power from the range by turning off the corresponding circuit breaker. Remove the bottom drawer. Locate the gas valve/regulator with three electrical solenoids terminals on the back of the range. The middle terminal is Common, the upper terminal is Broil and the bottom terminal is Bake. Mark all wires for proper reconnection and remove them from the terminals. Using a multimeter, check for 216 Ohms resistance across each solenoid (Broil to Common and Bake to Common). If one of the solenoids is defective, neither one will operate and the gas valve/regulator would need to be replaced.

If this is not the issue, post the results and we will proceed with further troubleshooting.

Good luck.

Testing revealed 197.6 on the broil to common and 198.6 from bake to common.

The resistance of both solenoids is within the range (216 Ohms ± 30).

Pull the range out of the wall and unplug the power cord. Remove the rear control panel cover. Locate the J1 connector at the spark ignition electronic board (#3 on the diagram). Reconnect the power to the range. When the unit is plugged in, there will be a 30- to 40-second delay before the oven system is operational. Using a voltmeter, check for 120 VAC by touching the probes between the pins 4 & 6 and the pins 4 & 7.

If both readings are correct, the Spark ignition electronic board would need to be replaced.

I’m not sure which pins are 4,6, & 7; unless they are left to right. Do I disconnect the j1 plug to test it with the voltmeter?

7

No, you do not have to disconnect the plug.
You can locate the pins by the wires color. J1-4 - white wire, J1-6 - red/white, and J1-7 - blue/white.

I get a reading of 5.8 from both 4-6 and 4-7. Does this mean the spark ignition electronic board needs replaced?

9

Not sure what to do from here.

10

With the bake function enabled, I get a reading of 122.4 from 4 to 6 on J1. From connectors 4-7, I get a reading of 5.8v. Are these correct? What’s the next step?

Looks like the Spark Ignition Electronic board would need to be replaced.
Also, you have nothing to loose if you order the part from Appliance Parts Pros. If the new part would not fix the problem, you can easy return it.

That did indeed solve the problem. I’ve used it 3 days in a row now! Also, the new board provides a faster spark on the stovetop. Thank you Gene for your guidance in fixing my oven.

I’m glad you were able to fix it. Good job!
