 GE Range JGBP28GEJ oven won't light Brand: General Electric Model Number: JGBP28GEJ Age: More than 10 years
GE Range model JGBP28GEJ, circa 1988.
The stovetop burners work great. The oven broiler works great.
The oven lower burner will not light up. It sits for awhile, then sometimes lights with a WHOOOMP. Sometimes just smells of gas and we shut it off. Never works right. It worked great for almost two decades.
I took out the oven floor and the two burner plates. As in the photo below, the heating element gets hot and the gas starts to flow through the burner tube. But it won't light. Even with a lighter stick, it just blows the flame around. So I think the gas/air mixture is messed up? Is there a shutter I can adjust, or do I need to clean something (the holes in the burner tube look clear to me), or do I need to replace a regulator of some sort?
I'm attaching two parts diagrams. I'm not completely sure which is the right one--I haven't taken it apart that far yet.
Thank you in advance.  |
