Oven not lighting? Learn igniter replacement symptoms, error codes, quick checks, and when to call professional oven repair.
If your oven fails to ignite, a weak or failed igniter is the usual cause. This guide covers symptoms, causes, error codes, safe quick fixes, and when to book professional replacement.
An oven that fails to light in bake or broil mode often needs an igniter replacement. The igniter provides the heat and signal for gas valves to open. Weak or failed igniters glow but never reach the required temperature, leaving food uncooked. Replacing a faulty igniter restores proper ignition and prevents raw meals.
Causes include igniter filament wear, cracked ceramic housings, loose connections, or voltage drops. Over time, igniters lose amperage strength, failing to signal valves. Thermal stress and contamination from spills accelerate failure. Electrical surges or moisture intrusion can also kill igniters.
Common error codes include F9 (ignition fault), F90, or F30 families in Whirlpool/Maytag; Samsung/GE may show F76/F77 for ignition issues. Bosch and Electrolux often display generic heating error codes or symbols when ignition fails. Some ovens produce no code, just no flame.
Quick fixes: verify gas supply is open, reseat oven racks away from vents, reset breaker, and confirm no control lock. If igniter glows weakly, it must be replaced. Test continuity and amperage; under 3.2–3.6A typically means replacement. Do not bypass safety circuits.
Symptoms include oven not heating, glowing igniter with no flame, long preheat times, or repeated clicking in spark models. Food remains undercooked despite cycles running. Gas smell without ignition is another sign. Inconsistent baking results or partial heating also point to weak igniters.
Call a pro if the oven continues not to light after a new igniter, or if gas odor persists. Techs can verify valve function, test control relays, and ensure gas safety. For wall ovens or built-ins, professional replacement avoids damage. Proper repair restores safe ignition and cooking performance.

Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
Excellent experience with Vlad! He came day of to help fix a laundry machine issue. He was on time, a clear communicator about the issue and fixed it with ease. He came back the following day (at no charge!) when I reached out with further information about how the machine was working to confirm everything was working properly/as intended. Excellent service and will absolutely be working with them again when we have future needs. Can’t recommend enough!
Vlad has been an incredible asset. In the few months we've known him, he's already fixed a dryer, two washing machines, and an oven! He's always very upfront with the repairs needed and the associated costs with fixing an appliance. I wouldn't hesitate at all to hire him for any future appliances in need of repair
I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.
