Myths About Appliances:Ranges

Myth - The ignitor for my oven glows so it must be good.
Truth - An oven ignitor needs to reach a specific resistance in order to allow the oven gas valve to open. It is possible for ignitors to glow but not reach that resistance. It is also possible for ignitors to glow but not get quite hot enough to ignite the gas immediately once released. This can cause delayed ignition and 'mini explosions' in the oven when the burner finally does light.

Recalls

• LG and Sears Recall Gas Dryers Due to Fire Hazard - On affected models the gas valve can fail to shut off properly, continuing to heat after the drying cycle is complete. High temperatures inside and on the exterior surface of the dryers can scorch the drum, as well as burn or damage the dryer contents, posing a risk of burn, fire and smoke inhalation. LG models affected include DLG0452W, DLG1320W and DLG2051W. Kenmore Elite dryers with model numbers beginning 796... may be affected. Recall number: 12-251
