My oven temperature is heating very slowly. It will eventually reach temperature, but it takes over an hour to get there. When I disassembled the oven floor. I noticed there is no flame or gas coming out. The glow plug (or ignitor) is what is heating my oven to temperature. The top burners work and so does the broiler. My assumption is since the ignitor is glowing to temperature, that my relief valve is what is malfunctioning. What would you suggest?

unplug the stove. Take the bottom of the oven out. Take the 2 screws that hold the glow coil in place out, and depending on the replacement you either unplug the wiring or cut it and resplice it. Wire nuts will come with the kit. Tom. Www. Applianceeducator. Com
