Gas GE range JGBP30BEA1WH smells like electrical burning with oven on.


Recommended Posts

I have a GE gas (propane) range (JGBP30BEA1WH) that has a weak electrical burning smell when running the oven.  Oven starts and runs fine and the electrical smell really only happened once.  There is also sometimes a smell of propane when shutting off the oven.  The igniter appears to be fine.  It heats white hot and stays on till the oven is shut off.  I am wondering about the gas safety valve but am not sure.  Does anyone have any insight?

Check the burner tube for holes in it. Amp out the ignition on ac amp and check it with the safety valve rating while starting and stopping the cycle multiple times and see if ignitor isn't getting or barely getting enough amperage to let the gas flow. A weak ignitor will light once or twice but not after that if it's getting weak. Also you can gently use channel locks/adjustable pliers and gently move the ignitor towards the burner if the ignitor is in spec after cycling burner but ONLY if it has a metal cage around it. Check this stuff first.
