Frigidaire FFGF3012TWA gas range Parts

On the Frigidaire FFGF3012TWA gas range, the oven burner is designed to light automatically using a glow-bar igniter and an electrically controlled oven valve; manual lighting is not a normal operating method. If the oven is not igniting, we recommend troubleshooting the igniter, power supply, and gas supply instead of trying to light the oven by hand. See the FFGF3012TWA owner’s manual for safe operating guidance.

What “normal ignition” looks like on this model

When you set the oven to bake, the igniter should glow like a light bulb and the burner should light after a short delay.

• Set BAKE and allow 30 to 60 seconds for ignition
• Look for the igniter to glow before the flame appears
• Expect the burner to cycle on and off to hold temperature
• If there is no glow, focus on electrical supply and the igniter circuit

What you observe	Most likely direction	What to do next
Igniter glows, no flame	Gas not opening to burner	Stop and have the gas/valve system checked
No glow at all	Igniter or power issue	Check power, then test/replace igniter
Flame lights after 30 to 60 seconds	Normal operation	No repair needed

Safe checks to do before you assume a bad part

• Confirm the range has electrical power (clock/display on, outlet not tripped)
• Make sure the gas shutoff valve is fully open
• Try a bake cycle at 300°F and listen for the normal sequence (clicks, then ignition)
• If the igniter never glows, inspect the wiring connections to the igniter
• If you smell gas, turn the oven off and ventilate the area

Parts commonly involved when the oven will not ignite

If the oven is not lighting, the most common repair is replacing the oven burner igniter.

• Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5304509706 (glow-bar igniter that heats up to open the oven safety valve)
• Range oven temperature sensor (can cause temperature control issues, not usually “no ignition”)
• Range oven control board (can prevent power from reaching the igniter)

Why it matters

Trying to manually light an oven burner that is designed for electronic ignition can create delayed ignition and flare-up risk. On the FFGF3012TWA, the correct fix is restoring the normal igniter-to-gas-valve ignition sequence described in the FFGF3012TWA installation guide.

If your Frigidaire FFGF3012TWA gas range oven is not heating, the most common cause is a weak or failed oven igniter that cannot draw enough current to open the gas safety valve. Also confirm the clock is set and the oven controls are programmed correctly per the FFGF3012TWA owner's manual.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Set the clock; this model’s oven can require the time of day to be set before the oven will operate.
• Verify you selected the correct bake or broil function and a temperature, then press Start.
• Confirm the range has power (display on, no tripped breaker).
• If you smell gas, turn the oven off, ventilate the area, and do not keep trying to ignite.
• Watch the igniter during a bake call; a healthy igniter typically glows bright and the burner lights shortly after.

What to test and what usually fixes it

In many “won’t heat” cases, the igniter glows but is too weak to open the valve reliably. Replacing the igniter is a common repair on this Frigidaire-style gas oven.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Common next step
No glow from igniter	Failed igniter, wiring issue	Inspect connections; replace igniter if open
Igniter glows, no flame	Weak igniter, gas valve not opening	Replace igniter first
Oven heats erratically	Temperature sensing/control issue	Check sensor and control inputs

Parts that commonly solve “no heat” on this model

• Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5304509706 (most common fix)
• Range oven temperature sensor (if temps are inaccurate or cycling is abnormal)
• Range oven control board (if commands are not being sent correctly)

Why it matters

A gas oven needs the igniter and safety valve to work together; if ignition is weak or delayed, the burner will not light and cooking performance suffers. Correct control settings (including the clock) prevent “false no-heat” symptoms.

If your Frigidaire FFGF3012TWA gas range is set to BAKE and the oven burner does not light within 60 seconds, the oven igniter is the top suspect. A weak igniter can glow but still fail to open the gas valve, so the burner never lights.

What normal ignition looks like

The igniter should glow like a light bulb; once it gets hot enough, the oven gas valve opens and the burner lights. The normal delay before flame appears is 30 to 60 seconds. See the FFGF3012TWA installation guide.

Signs the igniter is bad

• Igniter does not glow at all on BAKE or BROIL
• Igniter glows, but no flame appears within 60 seconds
• Oven takes multiple tries to light or heats inconsistently
• Brief gas smell with no ignition (turn oven OFF and ventilate)
• Burner cycling seems abnormal and temperature is unstable

Quick checks before replacing parts

• Confirm you are using BAKE (not Delay Start or a timed feature)
• Watch through the broiler drawer opening for a steady glow
• If there was a power outage: reset all oven controls to OFF; do not operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical power failure (per the FFGF3012TWA installation guide)
• If you are trained to test live voltage, check for 120 VAC to the igniter circuit during a heat call

Part that commonly fixes “no bake”

For many no-heat or slow-ignite complaints, replacing the igniter solves the problem: range oven burner igniter 5304509706.

What you observe	Most likely cause	Typical next step
No glow	Igniter open, wiring issue, or control issue	Inspect connections; test igniter
Glows, no flame	Weak igniter (most common)	Replace igniter
Lights, then drops out	Normal cycling or gas/air issue	Check flame quality per guide

Why it matters

A weak igniter prevents the gas valve from opening reliably, so the burner cannot light consistently. Fixing it restores dependable baking and reduces repeated ignition attempts.
