Hardwick gas range repair and replacement parts

Troubleshooting your Hardwick 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.

How to replace the oven temperature sensor in your Hardwick gas range

• Shut off electrical power and the gas supply to the range.
• Remove the oven racks.
• Remove the screws from the base of the temperature sensor probe.
• Carefully pull the oven temperature sensor probe forward into the oven interior. The wires connected to the probe have enough slack that you can pull it a just few inches. Holding the connector with needle-nose pliers, depress the locking tab on the plug and disconnect the plug from the sensor probe. Don't let the connector slip back through the hole, or you must remove the back panel of the oven to retrieve it.
• While holding the connector with a pair of needle-nose pliers, snap it into the plug of the new probe. Push the wire into back wall of the oven. Position the new sensor probe and line up the holes for the mounting screws. Insert the mounting screws and tighten firmly using a nut driver.
• Reinstall the oven racks and turn on the electricity and gas.
