Hello. It has been a while since I was last here, and the group's help last time worked so well I thought I'd try it again ...

My KitchenAid stove model KRGC707LBS0 has a problem with the oven ... the panel works, it lets you start it, then you hear a click - but no fan, no gas, and no heat!

Can anyone help? Is it a relay or fuse? Anything else easy to repair?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Kurt

BTW -
Light works
fan blades will spin manually
Don't smell gas

Thanks!

there's also a Thermal Fuse in the CookTop that could prevent Oven Ignitor

( only 1 of 3 is normally "open")
1 of them is a Thermal Fuse < <

Probably bad ignitor like reg asked about. Believe this oven has to heat a bit before the fan turns on. Change the ignitor,you'll be good.

Thanks, Reg and Sohei -

So I used my time to take off the covers inside the oven and checked out the ignitor ...

no glow.

I'll be ordering a new one today. Do I get at the plug through the rear of the oven?

Thanks for all your help!

did you test the Ignitor and the Thermal Fuse ?

Dumb question ...

how do you get to the thermal fuse in the cooktop?

I "visually" checked the ignitor and saw nothing - no change in any type of color. I understand this can mean other issues, too, but ... I tried to remove the ignitor to test it but didn't know if I needed to pull the back of the oven or not ...

Thanks again for all the help!

1) yes
2) To remove the control panel:
a ) Remove the screw from each end cap.
b ) Open the oven door and remove the three screws from the bottom of the control panel
c ) Pull the knobs off the gas valves.
d) Lift the front of the control panel, pull it forward,
and slide the front edge of the cooktop glass out of the slot in the front of the panel.
e) Rotate the control panel up and over so the bottom side faces up.

Thanks again for all the help ...

and no, the self-clean feature hasn't been used in like 2 years ... when it's 100 deg outside, the last thing you want to do is clean an oven!

Find the ignitor leads behind the oven and check for 110volts when it is in bake.
