Frigidaire Oven Makes a Clicking Noise but Won’t Ignite
If your Frigidaire gas oven clicks repeatedly but the burner never lights, the ignition system may have a problem. One common cause is a weak or failed igniter. The igniter may glow but fail to become hot enough to ignite the gas. Another possibility is a faulty gas safety valve, which controls gas flow to the oven burner.
Other issues can include a blocked burner opening, damaged wiring, loose electrical connections, a defective control board, or a gas supply problem. Because several components operate together during ignition, replacing a part without proper testing may not solve the issue. If you smell gas, stop using the oven and move to a safe location before contacting the appropriate gas emergency service. If there is no gas odor but the oven continues clicking without igniting, professional appliance service can help identify the cause.
HOME APPLIANCE SERVICE CENTER can inspect your Frigidaire oven, diagnose the ignition problem, and recommend the necessary repair.
