Why Is My Gas Oven Not Heating Up?

Access the igniter

• Unplug the oven or turn off the breaker in the service panel.
• Open the oven door all the way.
• Pull out the oven racks and set them aside.
• Remove the two flathead screws at the rear right and left corners of the bottom panel.

• Lift the back of the bottom panel up to 45 degrees.
• Slide up the front lip of the bottom panel and lift out the panel.
• You may find another metal panel below the bottom panel. This is called the heat deflector. There’s usually just one nut holding the deflector in place. Use pliers to remove the nut and lift off the deflector.
