Troubleshooting common Preway range problems

Before ordering replacement parts, take time to identify the real cause of the issue. Even reliable Preway models can develop heating or ignition problems after years of use. Here are a few of the most common range symptoms and where to start.

Oven won’t bake or heat properly

When your oven won’t heat, begin by checking the bake element for burns, breaks, or blisters. For gas models, look at the igniter. It should glow and ignite the burner. If it doesn’t, the igniter likely needs replacement.

Surface element not working

If an electric surface element isn’t heating, try swapping it with another burner of the same size. If the replacement works, your original element is burned out. If neither works, the surface element switch may have failed.

Gas burners won’t ignite

If the gas burners won’t spark or ignite, clean the burner heads and ensure the caps are properly aligned. When all burners fail to light, the spark module may be the issue.

Commonly replaced Preway range parts

When maintaining your range or looking for compatible Preway stove parts, it helps to know which components wear out most often. These parts affect ignition, heat consistency, and overall performance - and are available at Sears PartsDirect.

• Bake element: This element provides steady heat for baking and roasting. If food cooks unevenly or the oven stays cool, installing a new bake element restores proper temperature control.

• Oven igniter: The igniter lights the gas in your oven. If it’s cracked or worn out, it won’t trigger the safety valve. Learn how to replace the gas oven igniter to restore heat.

• Surface element switch: This control regulates power to each electric burner. When a burner won’t turn on or won’t adjust temperature, swapping in a new surface element switch restores function.

• Oven door hinge: Sagging or uneven oven doors allow heat to escape and increase cook times. Install new oven door hinges to improve sealing and efficiency.

• Spark module: This module sends voltage to the igniters for burner ignition. If multiple burners stop lighting, installing a new spark module brings reliable sparking back.

Preway range FAQs

Are Preway range parts still available?

Yes. Sears PartsDirect carries OEM and high-quality substitute parts for many older Preway gas and electric models.

Why won’t my Preway oven heat?

For electric models, a failed bake element or temperature sensor may be the cause. For gas models, a worn igniter is often to blame.

Can I convert my Preway gas range to propane?

Yes. You can safely switch from natural gas to propane using a compatible LP conversion kit.

Why won’t the oven door close tightly?

A worn hinge or damaged door gasket can prevent a proper seal. Replacing these parts improves heat retention and cooking performance.

Where can I find my Preway model number?

The model number is typically located on the frame inside the oven door, behind the drawer, or on the back panel of the appliance.
