Frigidaire Range / Oven Igniter Not Working — Causes & Repair Parts
Frigidaire Range / Oven Igniter Not Working — Causes & Repair Parts
Frigidaire range / oven showing igniter not working? Here are the 5 most common causes, how to diagnose each, and 10 OEM-compatible repair parts available with fast US shipping.
Common Causes of Igniter Not Working in Frigidaire Range / Ovens
- Bake element burned out (electric): The bake element at the bottom of the oven cavity develops a hole or break, stopping heat output.
- Igniter weak or broken (gas): The igniter must glow hot enough to open the gas valve. A weak igniter that takes > 90 seconds to light needs replacement.
- Oven control board failure: The control board sends voltage to the bake element or gas valve. A shorted board interrupts heating.
- Oven temperature sensor (probe) defective: The sensor reads oven temperature. An out-of-range resistance causes incorrect temperature reporting.
- Broil element failure during bake crossover: Some ovens use both elements. A failed broil element that the control board expects causes no-heat faults.
How to Diagnose Your Frigidaire Range / Oven
- Turn off the range and allow it to cool completely before inspection.
- For electric ranges: visually inspect the bake element at the oven bottom for holes, burns, or cracks.
- For gas ranges: check that gas supply is on at the shutoff valve behind the unit.
- Test the oven temperature sensor resistance with a multimeter — should read ~1,080 ohms at room temperature (68°F).
- Test the surface element switch continuity — infinite switches should show variable resistance as you turn the knob.
- Check the control board for burned components or blown fuses on the board.
- For gas ignition: listen for clicking sound and observe whether the spark electrode produces a visible spark.
