Wall oven will not light

Your Maytag wall oven is equipped with
pilotless ignition. Heat from the Glow Bar
ignitor lights the oven burner. With this type of
ignition system, the oven will not operate
during a power failure or if the wall oven is
disconnected from the wall outlet.

if it is plugged in and everything, your glow bar may be broken, which would mean you will either need to replace it, or get professional service.

Chances are the ignitor is weak and needs to be replaced. When they get weak the resistance is not proper to open the gas valve.

Hi,

This is the sign of a weak ignitor, even though it is glowing it has gotten weak and not letting enough current get to the valve to open.

You will need to have the ignitor replaced.

Hi,

This may sound strange but it is most often the glow plug that is bad. What happens is as the ignitor (glow plug) ages the resistance internally rises, this rise gets to a point where it limits the electrical current just enough that the valve no longer opens.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote that will help you with that problem..

Many times, unless you have the universal, the orficies have to be changed. From nat to LP. they do make a universal type.

Very common problem, the ignitor or glow coil heats up but no gas comes out. For me for the last 12 years this repair has always been a weak ignitor. Call your parts store with the model number and check prices on the exact part and on any generic ignitors for this unit. Replace the ignitor and this should do the job. This can be a bad valve not letting the gas through, but again I have never seen that and I replace 4-6 ignitors a week. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists.

sounds like flame failure device can very in price

The ignitor is weak and needs to be replaced. You can not tell by looking at it. You have to measure the amp draw through the ignitor.

coincidence, make sure your replacig the ignitor with an approppriate replacemnt,its an electricl part so no real time as to hong long they will last
