A customer in Waynesburg called about their Admiral gas stove with top burners that light but an oven that does not heat up. The unit is 2 years old and the problem just started that night. We found a failed ignitor preventing the oven from heating properly.
The Problem
The customer reported that their gas stove’s top burners light normally, but the oven does not heat up. This issue had just started that evening on a 2-year-old Admiral unit.
Diagnosis
We diagnosed a failed oven ignitor. The ignitor wasn’t generating enough heat to open the gas valve, preventing the oven from lighting and heating up while leaving the cooktop burners unaffected.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 5303935066 — Ignitor oven kit with nut
- Work performed: Replaced the ignitor
- Result: Oven preheated in 9 minutes and issue is resolved
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral appliances offer good value, and at only 2 years old, this unit has many years of service life remaining. An ignitor replacement is a straightforward repair that restores full functionality to an otherwise reliable appliance.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Ovens
- Keep the oven cavity clean to prevent grease buildup around the ignitor area
- Avoid using harsh cleaners on the ignitor element during routine cleaning
- Check that oven racks are properly positioned to allow adequate airflow around the ignitor
