Signs Your Gas Oven Igniter Is Failing

- Oven takes a long time to preheat
- Faint gas smell when the oven tries to light
- Oven heats, then goes cold mid-bake
Most gas ovens use a hot surface igniter that has to draw enough current to open the gas safety valve. As it ages, it can still glow orange while being too weak to open the valve, so the oven never lights. We measure the igniter current instead of just looking at it.
If the igniter tests fine, we check the oven safety valve, temperature sensor and control. If you smell a strong gas odor at any time, leave the home and call your gas utility first. We handle the appliance repair once it is safe.

Gas Oven Igniter FAQs
A worn igniter can glow without drawing enough current to open the gas valve. It looks like it is working, but it is too weak to light the oven.
It varies with how often you bake, but igniters are a normal wear part and are one of the most common gas oven repairs.
If there is no gas smell and the burners light normally, most people keep using the cooktop. If you ever smell gas, stop using the range, leave the home and contact your gas utility.
