I timed it today: the broiler started "glowing" after 30 seconds, but it took 60 sec to get flames. The oven didn't produce flames until after 2 minutes. It seems like preheating takes a long time, too (~ 20 minutes). Can someone confirm that this is, indeed, slow? (Or am I just impatient? :rolleyes: ) I'm having other issues with the cook top (front right burner takes 10 sec to light - no spark) . The oven is ~ 10 years old. Does it sounds like all of the spark ignitors need replacing? (I'm hoping to give my husband a diagnosis, so he can fix it.) Thanks!! alaskachick attached the following image(s):
