Dacor range oven repair in Lafayette
Problem: A homeowner in Lafayette has a Dacor range with a six-burner gas cooktop and a single oven. On Convection Bake the oven took an unusually long time to reach the set temperature. They already had a replacement igniter on hand and needed someone to put it in.
Diagnostics: On this Dacor the broil burner sits on the oven ceiling. It’s a ceramic plate, and the igniter sits in a small bracket at its back edge, near the back wall. That burner is gas, and the igniter lights it. The gas stays off until the igniter is hot enough. As an igniter wears, it heats more slowly, so the burner lights later each time. The part the owner had was the broil igniter.
Solution: Our technician took out the old broil igniter and put in the new one. Then we turned the oven on and watched the new igniter glow under the burner.
Result: The new broil igniter is in. If your oven has a gas burner and has started taking longer to heat, don’t wait for it to stop lighting altogether. Igniters wear slowly, and a worn one tends to get worse, not better.
