I have a Tappan gas stove/oven. Not sure of exact age. It was in the house when we bought it. Was working fine. About a month ago, when using the oven, it took a long time for the oven to light. About 5 minutes or so. Also takes a long time to come to temperature. When temp is reached, does not hold. As soon as flame goes out, again, it takes too long to come back on. We replaced the thermostat because we thought that was the issue. We were incorrect.:(

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']The problem is usually the igniter not reaching the correct amp draw .When the igniter does not reach the correct amp draw it may allow the gas valve to partially open or not open at all. The igniters are inexpensive and easy to replace. This video will walk you thru the correct procedure for testing an oven igniter. It may be a different model but the testing will be the same.[/FONT]
