I have a gas stove and the oven has been getting slower to light to the point that i wait up to 30 minutes. I repalced the valve thinking that it was sticking with no possitive results. Is there a safety sensor or a poor power issue that could cause the valve to opening to be delayed????

i have the same problem with my amana stove now it will no longer light i am in the process of tracking down the valve they no longer make the part. Is there something elese i should look at as well instead of just the valve

Hi lfd39

Most likely the problem with your oven is a bad igniter. In order to help you better I need the complete model number of the oven. The model number you posted is incorrect.

Will the universal igniter such as Stove/Oven/Range Universal Flat-Style Ignitor - 12400035 work on the Viking? The oven was slow to light and now doesn't light...although both igniters glow red hot. Amp draw is 2.75 per unit when excited.

Overall length of igniter is 4-1/2 inches but the ceramic extends out the back of the bracket. From the end of the igniter to the center of the first mounting screw hole is 2-3/16".

Occassionaly the oven will light if I tap the gas valve.

Williams123,

Both igniters are bad, no doubt about it.

You can use any kind of flat igniters as a replacement. The length of the ceramic can be shorter than on the original. The Maytag universal igniter 12400035 (APP item number AP205873) is a good choice.
