The oven in my Bosch gas range did not heat. It clicked when I started it, and the electronic panel behaved normally (but it never got past 'preheating'.) |
|
The stovetop gas burners worked fine so I know the range had gas. Also the broiler lit, although the broiler flame is hard to see. |
|
I didn’t do this repair, but now I wish I had. I called the service technician. He looked at it for 1 minute and replaced the ‘Igniter’. It was an easy repair for him and cost me $400 including the service call and the $170 part. He said the igniter is a ‘wear-out’ part. |
|
Before the technician replaced the igniter he did a test of the old one with a clamp-on Ammeter. He held in the door-closed switch at the top to test it. I didn't see exactly what he checked, I wish I had, He told me that if the gas does not get lit within a few seconds then the gas supply is shut down for safety. |
|
I see the genuine part is part ***AP5809118 available for $109 online.*** |

I am writing this guide to help others to fix their own Bosch gas oven. |
