Surface burners light but the bake and broil burners do not

Gas to the oven burners may have been shut off. Source: Troubleshooting Tips, p. 30

Qualified technician Have the oven gas shut-off, on the gas regulator near the gas line attachment, checked. GE says to locate it and flip the lever.

Oven temperature is too hot or too cold

The oven temperature needs adjustment. Source: Troubleshooting Tips, p. 28

The bulb is loose or defective. Source: Troubleshooting Tips, p. 29

  1. Tighten or replace the bulb. See Replace the oven light bulb.

Clicking noise when the oven is on

Crackling or popping sound

Metal heats and cools during cooking and cleaning. Source: Troubleshooting Tips, p. 28

Strong burning or oily odor from the vent

A new oven gives off odor at first. A self-clean cycle of at least 3 hours speeds this up. Source: Troubleshooting Tips, p. 29

The oven sometimes takes longer to preheat to the same temperature

Cookware, food and extra racks lengthen preheat. Removing them shortens it. Source: Troubleshooting Tips, p. 28
