What happened
From a slow oven to a new burner and igniter
The complaint
This American Range is a six-burner gas range with a convection bake switch and a blue oven door. Its factory test label is dated March 2014. The oven had started taking longer to preheat, and it was making noise while it ran.
The diagnosis
We removed the oven floor panel to reach the bake burner and the igniter at the base of the oven. The burner tube had corroded and burned through right next to its flame ports.
The fix
We replaced the bake burner and the bake igniter, then lit the oven to check the work: the igniter glowed, the burner lit, and the new burner held a steady blue flame along its full length. The repair carries our standard 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Questions
American Range oven repair in Seattle: FAQ
Why is my American Range oven slow to preheat?
On this Seattle range, the bake burner had corroded and burned through next to its flame ports, and we replaced it along with the bake igniter. A weakening igniter is another common cause: on gas ovens with a glowing hot-surface igniter, the gas valve only opens once the igniter is hot enough, so a tired igniter delays ignition.
Can a 2014 American Range still be repaired?
Yes. This range’s factory test label is dated March 2014, and it got a new bake burner and bake igniter instead of being replaced. See our repair-or-replace guide for how to weigh a repair on an older range.
