GE Oven/stove Repair – Massillon, OH (PGS908SEM1SS)

A GE gas range on Bricker Road in Massillon wasn’t heating up when the bake function was selected. The broiler still worked so it was getting gas, and the self cleaning still worked and would start to get hot, but when you select bake the temperature never rises.

The Problem

The customer reported that when they selected bake, the temperature never rose. The broiler still worked so it was getting gas, and the self cleaning still worked and would start to get hot.

Diagnosis

With the broiler and self-clean functions working but no heat during baking, the issue pointed to a failed bake ignitor. The ignitor wasn’t generating enough heat to open the gas valve for the bake burner.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WB13T10045 — igniter assembly
• Work performed: Replaced ignitor on stove
• Result: Everything works correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE gas ranges are generally reliable appliances that respond well to repairs. An ignitor replacement on a model like the PGS908SEM1SS is a straightforward fix that can extend the oven’s life by many years, making it a worthwhile repair for most homeowners.

Maintenance Tips for GE Gas Ranges

• Keep the oven interior clean to prevent grease buildup that can affect ignitor performance
• Wipe down burner grates and drip pans regularly to maintain proper gas flow
• Check that burner ports aren’t clogged with food debris or grease
