What's wrong with my oven?
I have a Kenmore stove, model number 911-735-9180. My burners are working fine (they click to turn on) but my oven does not work. I push the bake setting and it does not heat up although my broiler works fine.
Best Answer
- In the world of home appliances, a cooktop with an oven in a common cabinet is called a "Range".
- This is a Kenmore Gas Range model # 911.7359180
- Sears model #'s usually don't have - dashes/hyphens in them.
- There are only 3 or 4 parts that can fail.
Basic Gas Oven Troubleshooting:
- Check the power, needs to be plugged in, standard 110vac outlet.
- Check the Igniter, it's the most common oven part that fails. Does it glow?
- NO = replace igniter $25
- YES = can you smell/detect gas from oven pilot or burner? = replace igniter.
- YES = but no gas smelled/detected. = bad gas valve.
May have 1 valve, combination safety & control OR
2 valves, separate safety & control.
Gas Valves start around $100.

What is the common problem for oven?
If the oven is receiving power, various issues could be preventing it from turning on. Common electric oven problems include a broken wire; a bad control, bake, or broil element; or the wrong amount of power coming to the unit. Common gas oven problems include a faulty gas control, igniter, or valve.What would cause an oven to not heat up?
The Oven Won't Heat An oven that won't heat is usually the result of a faulty igniter (for a gas oven) or heating element (for an electric oven). If both your gas oven and your gas burners have stopped working, the problem is most likely with the gas line, and will require professional repair.Minecraft wait what meme part 255 (Steve's heart)
