Common causes of a gas oven that will not ignite
- Weak or failed bake igniter. The number-one cause — a worn igniter glows but cannot draw enough current to open the gas valve, so the oven never lights.
- Faulty safety or gas valve. If the valve does not open, gas never reaches the burner even with a good igniter.
- Burnt igniter wiring or connector. Burnt or loose connections interrupt the igniter circuit.
- Failed control board or sensor. A faulty board or temperature sensor may never call for heat.
- Gas supply or shut-off issue. A closed shut-off valve or supply problem can leave the oven without gas. Handled by our TSSA-certified gas techs.
How B&M fixes it
We test the igniter draw, the safety valve, and the control circuit to find why it will not light, then replace the worn part — most often the bake igniter — and confirm a clean, reliable light before we leave. Gas oven work is done by our TSSA-certified technicians, with common igniters stocked on the van.
