Troubleshooting your Dwyer gas range when the oven won't heat

• Check the gas supply. If surface burners aren't working, check your gas supply cut-off valve to make sure it's open.
• Test the igniter. Pull the bottom oven panel out and start the oven. If the igniter glows but doesn't light the burner, it may not be getting hot enough to open the safety gas valve. You'll likely need to replace the igniter.
• If the igniter doesn't glow, measure resistance through the igniter using a multimeter. Replace the igniter if the meter measures infinite resistance.
• Test the safety gas valve. Measure resistance through the safety gas valve using the multimeter. The meter should measure less than 5 ohms of resistance through the gas valve. If the meter measure infinite resistance, you'll need to have a service technician replace the safety gas valve.

What to do when the coil surface element on your Dwyer electric range isn't heating properly

A break or flaw in a heating coil can prevent the surface element from heating properly. If a portion of the element doesn't heat, replace the surface element.

Coil surface elements plug into a terminal block to get power. The element won't heat if the terminal block fails. You'll likely see the terminal block body melted when it fails. Check the terminal block and replace it if it's melted or damaged.

A faulty control switch can also cause surface element heating problems. If a surface element heats evenly but you can't control the temperature using the surface element switch, replace the surface element switch.
