View Full Version : gas oven won't light

10-30-00, 10:31 AM
Hi,

My Tappan Signature 2000 oven will not light.

All four top burners on the stove function properly ( you turn the knob, get a click click click, and then it lights ).

Not true with oven or broiler. The selection knob has Bake, TBake, Broil, & Clean. But all results are the same... No clicking, no gas smell or sound....no hot food. Thank you. Joe

Hi:joe

Good possibility this oven is set in the TIME BAKE cycle. Check the clock and the other controls on the panel.

If all there is okay but the oven sparker still fails to spark, you may need to unplug the stove, locate the fuse and check it.

If the stove is equipped with a glow coil ignition and the coil fails to glow, same proceedure applies.

Check the archives in this forum for more detailed info posted regarding removing, checking and installing parts.

Good Luck,
