When you turn the oven on the usual sound of the ignitor comes on and the unit starts to heat up. The unit is not igniting properly and I am not getting the "F code error code " which should show up on the control display. I pulled the unit away from the wall, unplugged it waited 15 sec and plugged back in .The control panel displayed "GAS 700 37 300" . What does this mean? The unit will finally ignite after continued attempts to do so. There is no problem with the stove top burners,

Simon, Thank you for your quick response . When I plugged the stove back in after a few attempts the stove made the ignitor sound which in turn started to heat the oven.The stove heats up when I have it pulled away from the wall. I do not see a F code come up on he control panel which is the signal for a malfunction.

Hi.
You are saying that the oven works only when it's out? Does it works when it's pushed back?

Umm.. did you check to see if the gas line gets kinked when you push the oven back towards the wall? I'm pretty sure there is a pressure switch that detects the incoming gas pressure, and the oven won't turn on if the pressure isn't right.

The pressure switch controls oven and top burners gas flow. The possible problem may be the week oven ignitor. If you have the amp meter, check the amps draw. The good ignitor should "pull" 3.25Amp.
Post the results.
Simon.

Gentlemen,
Why do I not get a "F and number code" reading "fault code" on the display panel since I have this malfunction with the stove?

Hi.
The ignitor failure is not detectible by the control board. That's why there is no code.
Simon.
