GARY
February 18, 2023
Since Thanksgiving, our lower oven has apparently been offering a slight BOOM when turned ON, after 30 seconds or so. I thought it may be an igniter not getting hot soon enough. I replaced the igniter, and the BOOM remains.
My U-Tube research suggested (1) faulty ignition ports on the burner tube, (2) an igniter that is not heating-up properly due to a faulty resistance, and (3) an igniter that needs an adjustment to be closer to the ignition ports.
Before I look into all of these, do you have any other thoughts? Note that the burner tube ports that I can see look perfectly clean and not rusted; I will need to remove the igniter again to view the ignition ports. I also learned that the igniter and gas valve feeding the burner tube are wired in series, as a safety measure. ALSO, the oven does NOT boom after the initial ignition when the oven is first turned ON.
Thanks in advance for any thought you may have, as my next move is likely a new burner tube and/or gas valve.

Hello Gary, Thank you for your inquiry. When you hear a boom in your gas oven while it is preheating, what you are hearing is a delayed ignition of the gas. How it is supposed to happen is that the igniter lights a small amount of gas to start the process. However, when that doesn’t happen and the gas builds up, it caused the small boom of it igniting all at once. Most of the time, it can be caused by a dirty igniter, a clog in the burner tube or low gas pressure-which may need to be checked by a gas specialist. We hope this helps.
