Why is My Oven Igniter Malfunctioning?

A faulty igniter can result from a dirty or clogged igniter, or electrical issues such as loose connections. This can lead to an inconsistent flame, resulting in uneven cooking. Oven igniters glow hot to ignite natural gas, which is then released by the safety valve. If you hear constant clicking or the heating element isn’t functioning properly, your oven may not ignite.

Check Oven Igniter Malfunction Yourself

1. Safety First: Turn off the circuit breaker and double-check that the power is off by testing the oven light.
2. Remove Oven Racks: Carefully lift the metal plate cover to access the igniter.
3. Inspect the Igniter: Check for any buildup, damage, or discoloration. Discoloration is often a primary indicator of a faulty igniter.
4. Reassemble: If everything looks clean and without discoloration, reassemble the oven and test it.
5. Still Not Glowing? If the igniter isn't glowing, it’s time to call a professional!
