Dear Reader(s)
I have a problem; hope you can help.
I have a Kenmore Gas Range that uses electric ignition for the oven. The problem is this: when I turned on the oven, the electric igniter glows but the oven doesn’t turn on. However, I can smell the gas 30 seconds after turning on the oven.
I was told it could be the safety valve, but I smell gas, so I don’t think this is the problem.
I was told it could be the electric igniter; even though its glows, it could still be bad.
Finally, I was told it could be the thermostat.
If anyone can help to shed some light on this dilemma, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello pigskinkings and Welcome to the Do It Yourself Web Site and my Gas Appliances topic.
Common problem. Replace the hot surface glow ignitor (HSI) as the first attempt to fix that type of problem. Not a difficult job. Likely to resolve the problem. Reading almost any existing oven question already asked in this topic quickly provide all the helpful information needed.

Retail parts dealers and appliances parts stores can also help determine what the possible problem may be based upon that specific brand and model. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. Dealers and appliances parts stores are listed in the phone book.
Additional Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes, solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures, pictorials, schematics, repair and or owners manuals which may be available online.
Cautionary Note:
Before attempting any repairs, be sure to unplug the appliance from the wall receptacle power source first.
