Frigidaire Oven/Stove Repair (Model FGFL66ASA) – Canton, OH

A Canton homeowner called about their Frigidaire gas range that wouldn’t heat in the oven. The stovetop burners worked fine, but the oven stayed cold no matter what temperature they set. Our diagnosis revealed a classic failure — the oven igniter had weakened and could no longer generate enough heat to open the gas valve.

The Problem

The customer reported that their oven wouldn’t heat at all, while the cooktop burners still functioned normally. They could hear the igniter clicking when starting an oven cycle, but no flame would appear and the oven remained cold.

Diagnosis

We tested the igniter and found it was drawing insufficient current to properly open the gas safety valve. In gas ranges, the igniter serves dual purposes — it must heat up enough to ignite the gas and simultaneously draw enough electrical current to signal the gas valve to open. When igniters age, they often glow but fail to pull adequate amperage, leaving the oven without gas flow.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5303935066 — Frigidaire oven igniter kit with mounting nut
• Work performed: Removed old igniter, installed new igniter with proper positioning and secure mounting
• Result: Tested oven heating cycle — igniter glowed properly and gas valve opened for normal flame operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

The FGFL66ASA is a solid mid-range Frigidaire gas range that typically provides good service life. Igniter replacement is a common maintenance repair that restores full functionality. Unless the unit has multiple major component failures, this repair makes financial sense for most households.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Gas Ranges

• Keep the oven igniter area clean — grease buildup can cause premature failure and affect ignition timing
• Avoid using oven cleaners directly on the igniter — the harsh chemicals can damage the ceramic element
• Check that oven racks aren’t blocking airflow around the igniter during self-clean cycles
