Paging Appliance Brad: Kichenaid Range Issue

January 31, 2019, 05:50 PM

Patient: Kichenaid KGRA806PSS00 Range
Issue: Intermittent starting problem with the oven and broiler.

Every so often the oven or broiler will not light. Usually you hear the click of the gas valve opening followed by the spark and gas light-off. Sometimes there is no click, no spark and no fire.

The burners look fine. The igniters look good, at least the part that is in the oven doesn't show any cracking and they work fine most of the time.

I've made sure that the lower drawer isn't shorting anything out per your previous recommendation.

Any thoughts on why it doesn't light-off sometimes? What tests can I run? I have a Volt/Ohm meter.

Thanks,
Bob

Unfortunately, Brad hasn’t posted since 2017.

Especially during the elections, he always had great insight about them.

I did not know that his son was a member here. What was his forum name?

I believe it was Logrusmaster or something similar.

I haven't heard from Brad since I sold him a Nikon DSLR outfit for his wife in 2017. His departure from here was quick and unannounced shortly after. He won an election for a local counsel position in late 2016 I believe and that may have some baring in his leaving us here.

Yes I think that's it.

In addition, I had *thought* he was taking up some law school studies, which of course would be a huge time suck. I was lucky to meet Brad, his son and his wife at a Michigan shoot some years back. Fabulous people! I certainly miss his commentary here as well.
