Oven drawer open and close incorrectly
First I removed the oven drawer. Verified that the support clips would rest correctly on rail, then review installation document with supports to locate alternate location for replacement supports. I did have to personally locate 2 fastners not provided with the supports ot complete installation. After installation, oven drawer opens and closes smoothly.
Turn gas off. Remove front door by pulling the lock covers back and pulling door up. Remove all cooking racks. Push back and lift enamel cover plate. Remove heat shield. Either use crosstip screwdriver or nutdriver (ratchet driver works as well, all the ovens have a different size nut/screw so check your size) and remove ignitor. Remove small shield and gas burner tube from pan. Remove all nut/screws from pan, lift up and pull towards front (ignitor can not go through pan) exposing electrical connector behind insulation. Disconnect and pull through pan. Replace pan (I had to replace older pan due to rust) and push connector from new ignitor through hole and connect to plug. Push pan in attach new ignitor (easier) to gas tube burner and place burner back through hole. Reattach shield and burner to tube to pan. At this point I tested the new ignitor which worked perfectly. Turn off oven. Place heat shield over burner tube. Replace enamal cover plate. Replace oven racks. Place door and lock holders on the hinges. Easy. BTW I am 70 and it took me just at 25 minutes with set up for tools, door, rack and enamel cover removal, heat shield removal and then the more labor intensive nut/screw removal, old ignitor and gas burner tube removal, pan removal, new ignitor replacement, new pan replacement, gas tube with shield attachment, heat shield attachment, enamel cover, grill racks and door attachment. Perfect parts fit well work well.
I changed out the sensor and still same problem. Change out Thermosat and still same problem. I call the help number and emailed the help but I got nothing but have to many calls because of the virus situation. Still need help. I’m an electrician and I don’t want to call a service technician and pay that big bill. Can anyone there help me out, if so please call. Ike Stanton 678-525-6644
Other people had problems removing screws for igniter and broke them off. The best way to prevent this is to initially tighten the screw and then loosen. Using this method going back and forth will prevent breaking off the screw. You will have to remove the plate on the back of the oven to access the connector. There wasn't enough slack for me to pull it through.
Removed torx screws for door handle as well as torx screws for both hinges to separate the door halves to extract broken glass and to install new glass panel. Other reviews said not to remove hinge screws, however I had no problem reinstalling them.
The oven did not get up to or hold the correct temperature
This should have been a very easy fix. But, as I tried to pull out the old temperature sensor, the wire would not come out. I was afraid to pull too hard because I did not want to break the wire. So, I coxed it out easily until I could see the plastic connector. Then, the old wire pulled free from the connector leaving the end of the connector inside the back of the oven. I then had to fish the end of the wire around with the piece of wire through the very small hole in the back of the oven. Once I got it close to the hole, I was able to grab the connector with some needle nose plyers. Connecting the new sensor and reinstalling everything was easy and the oven now works just fine.
Took the oven door off and removed the inner door panel, put new glass assembly part in and reassembled. The hard part was getting the door hinges locked back into place.
The repair is not complete because the two screws that hold the igniter to the oven Burner Assembly tube were frozen in place, probably from the heat over time: One stripped and the other broke, necessitating the removal and purchase of the oven burner tube and screws.
Changing out the burner assembly completely fixed the gas smell issue. The burner was deformed and rusted in the area adjacent to the igniter. The oven burns properly now, and no extra gas smell exists.
GE oven showed "F2" error code and was over-heating
I am not the handiest person in the world, and this repair was easy even for me. If you suspect that the temperature sensor is the problem, do yourself a favor and buy this inexpensive replacement part and install it yourself prior to calling a professional who will charge a service fee just for checking it out. Pull your oven out from the wall so you can access the back. Unscrew the small nuts on the back to remove the sheet metal cover. Find the wire that goes to the sensor and unplug the plastic coupling. In the oven, unscrew the one nut that secures the sensor to the back wall of the oven. Pull the broken sensor out and replace it with the new sensor. Feed the wire through to the back and plug the new sensor into the same wire that was just disconnected. Reinstall all of the nuts. Do a "test cook" on some frozen food to ensure that the temperature seems correct (i.e., does it cook as expected in the recommended amount of time). The actual repair takes less than five minutes. I put "30-60 minutes" to account for unplugging the oven, pulling it out, removing the screws, replacing the screws, pushing it back in, and testing the temperature.
0. As a safety precaution, unplug the range or hit the relevant fuse breaker before you start. You might also want to grab a flashlight. Definitely do not try to do this while the oven is hot. 1. Pinch the wire over the light bulb cap to remove it. This is inside the oven at the back. 2. Pop off the hemispherical glass cap. 3. Unscrew the old light bulb, and screw the new light bulb in its place. 4. Put the cap back. 5. Secure the cap by putting the wire back in its slots on the cap.
No tools needed, the cap is just held in place with pressure from the wire.
