Oven – What’s wrong with the oven

oven

I have a Kenmore stove, model number 911-735-9180. My burners are working fine (they click to turn on) but my oven does not work. I push the bake setting and it does not heat up although my broiler works fine.

Best Answer

  • In the world of home appliances, a cooktop with an oven in a common cabinet is called a "Range".
  • This is a Kenmore Gas Range model # 911.7359180
  • Sears model #'s usually don't have - dashes/hyphens in them.
  • There are only 3 or 4 parts that can fail.

Basic Gas Oven Troubleshooting:

  1. Check the power, needs to be plugged in, standard 110vac outlet.
  2. Check the Igniter, it's the most common oven part that fails. Does it glow?
    • NO = replace igniter $25
    • YES = can you smell/detect gas from oven pilot or burner? = replace igniter.
    • YES = but no gas smelled/detected. = bad gas valve.

May have 1 valve, combination safety & control OR 2 valves, separate safety & control.
Gas Valves start around $100.
