Electrolux Oven/stove; Microwave Repair – NORTH CANTON, OH (EW30GF65GSH and E130BM60MSA)

We recently completed a repair on an Electrolux oven in North Canton, OH where the customer reported a strong gas smell when first heating up. Our diagnosis revealed a faulty ignitor that was taking too long to light the gas, causing the odor issue.

The Problem

The customer experienced a strong gas smell with the oven when first heating up. They also hadn’t used the microwave since moving in because of how bad it smells when used, wondering if it was installed for an exterior exhaust but they don’t have an exterior exhaust.

Diagnosis

Testing showed the oven was drawing 3.3 amps with ignition taking 26 seconds and preheat completing in 10 minutes. The extended ignition time was allowing gas to accumulate before lighting, creating the strong smell the customer noticed.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 316489403 — ignitor
• Work performed: Installed new ignitor assembly
• Result: Proper ignition timing restored, eliminating gas odor during startup

Is It Worth Repairing?

Electrolux ovens are typically well-built appliances that respond well to proper maintenance and timely repairs. An ignitor replacement is a common repair that extends the life of the unit significantly, making it worthwhile for most models under 15 years old.

Maintenance Tips for Electrolux Ovens

• Clean spills immediately to prevent buildup that can affect ignitor performance
• Keep the oven bottom clear of debris that could interfere with gas flow
• Have gas connections checked annually as part of routine maintenance
