Kenmore Oven/stove Repair – Alliance, OH (790.73433310)

A Kenmore oven in Alliance wasn’t heating despite the ignitor glowing. The ignitor was glowing but the oven wouldn’t light, preventing normal cooking. We found the ignitor was weak and needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the ignitor glows but oven won’t light. This is a classic symptom where the ignitor appears to be working but lacks the strength to open the gas valve and ignite the burner.

Diagnosis

We tested the ignitor and confirmed it was drawing insufficient current to properly open the safety valve. While it glowed, it couldn’t complete the ignition sequence, leaving the oven unable to heat.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5304509706 — ignitor
• Work performed: Replaced oven ignitor
• Result: Stove is now lighting correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore ovens are generally well-built appliances that respond well to maintenance. An ignitor replacement is a straightforward repair that typically provides years of reliable service, making it worthwhile for most units under 15 years old.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Ovens

• Keep the oven interior clean to prevent grease buildup that can affect ignitor performance
• Avoid using harsh cleaners near the ignitor that could damage its ceramic surface
• Have the gas connections checked annually to ensure proper pressure and safety
