Why is My Oven Igniter Malfunctioning?
A faulty igniter can be caused by a dirty or clogged igniter or electrical issues such as loose connections. It results in an inconsistent flame, which can lead to uneven cooking. Oven igniters glow hot to ignite the natural gas and then it is released by the safety valve. If there is a constant clicking or the heating element isn’t working properly, the oven will not ignite.
Check Oven Igniter Malfunction Yourself
- Turn off the circuit and double-check the power off by the light.
- Remove the oven racks and carefully lift the metal plate cover.
- Check the lighter for any kind of buildup, damage or discoloration. Discoloration is the initial reason for a faulty igniter.
- If it all seems clean and away from discoloration, it’s time to put it back to its original form and check.
- If it’s not glowing, a call to a professional will be best!
