Consumer Question: Defective Igniter


Hi, Joe,


We have a GEXL44 gas range. The oven will not light. The glow bar is working. We dont smell any gas.

Thanks,
Tom

A: Hi, Tom,

Thanks for your note. 


In 9 out of 10 cases, the igniter is defective even though it glows. It is not sending enough milliwatts to open the gas valve.

Regards,
Joe Gagnon
