As always I have pushed bake and it comes up 350 and I push start, it clicks and ignites it takes 10 min. to heat and no problem, now you push bake it flashs 12 min. and flashes every 10 sec. but no click or igniting sound. Broiler will come on just fine, no problems with it.
Is it the igniter? Gas will not come on unless it clicks I guess safety precaution.

Is your complaint the control acting differently than before or just that the oven isn't heating properly?

The boiler is part of the oven so what you're saying is just the bake burner in the oven is not coming on after preheat. Is it on during the preheat function or is just the broil burner working at that time?

Not sparking might just be caused by a problem in the oven spark module but might also be in the main electronic control.

I don't know that a failure of the spark controller (aka 'module') would cause the display to act any differently than normal so that change might be more likely to be the result of an electronic control malfunction.


Have you tried turning off power to the appliance for a minute or two to see if the control returned to normal functioning or not? I don't know what else to suggest besides having the appliance checked out. Sorry

The control is acting a little different but it still won't ignit or even click like its trying to come on. Its not the ignitor, I really think it might be a fuse in the control panel if there is one, or its the control panel it self, it works fine for the broiler and the clock works fine everything except the baking part.
