Symptom Possible Cause Cure
Slow start up or poor cooking
performance
Low gas pressure Oven requires 4” WC gas pressure minimum measured at the
manifold pressure tap for natural gas, and 11” WC for L.P.
No power to gas valve Check for 24V from ignition box to gas valve.
Faulty main gas solenoid Replace gas valve.
Faulty ignition module Replace ignition module.
Manual shutoff valve
closed
Open manual valve.

Not all burners ignite
Burner orifice is clogged Make sure burner orifices are clear and properly sized. Natural
gas #54, Propane #64.
Bad flame sensor or
improperly positioned
Check in series in micro amps. Minimum is 0.75 micro amps,
no maximum.
