OK already!! I’m a tightwad and this old oven fits my kitchen perfectly and has given us years of faithful service and I’m not buying a new one!
The broiler will light fine but the oven will not.
The igniter comes on and after several minutes a very low phu phu phu noise can be heard but the oven is not actually lit.
Visual inspection of the burner when the noise is heard shows a very small weak puffing flame with the same rythm as the noise located at the igniter.
My theory is the boiler/oven gas valve is bad, because the igniter comes on, there is some gas getting to the burner unit and igniting and this happened suddenly.
I just need another opinion from someone who has more experience then me. I fix cars for a living not appliances and am having a little trouble pulling the trigger on a part that cost thi$ much.
Any help out there?
