FIXED: Bosch HGS235UC/01: even after replacing igniter and gas valve, still no heat in oven

I have had a problem with our Bosch HGS235UC/01 gas range for some time. When I set it to the oven convection bake or regular bake mode, it would not heat up in normal time. The igniter became red-hot but the gas would not ignite until 20 minutes later; this delay became longer over time.

The igniter was the main suspect, so I decided to replace it on my own. But, to verify that this part needed to be changed, I tried to measure the current flowing through the igniter, which should be between 3.2 A and 3.6 A (as I understand it). Unfortunately, one of the meter probes with the igniter wires made contact with the metal panels underneath and caused a short-circuit and sparks to fly. This permanently damaged the coil inside the gas safety valve. I ordered a new igniter and new dual gas valve assembly. With great difficulty and effort (German engineering with no access to the screws, requiring dismantling of the whole unit!!!), I replaced these two parts.

Now, the igniter seems to work fine with about 3.4 A measured through it. Alas, for some unknown reason, the gas valve doesn’t open and as a result, the igniter doesn’t ignite the gas, because it’s not flowing. I’m really baffled because the gas valve coil and the igniter are connected in series, so the 3.4 A current has to flow through the gas valve coil as well, which should open the gas to the oven, but it doesn’t.

One thing that I noticed is that there’s a blinking red LED light (LED1) on the power board. What does it mean, and is it normal? Maybe, I damaged something on that board.
Of course, I should mention that the top of the gas range works fine, so there is no problem with the main gas supply. I could check the power board, but I don’t have access to the schematic, nor the service manual. If anyone has it, I would greatly appreciate a copy.

Also, any ideas are welcome. At this point, I’m quite desperate because it’s the third day that I’ve been trying to fix it, and my wife has become quite upset, as you can imagine.

LG oven not heating properly LRE30451SB/01

Our oven heats to random temperatures, either heating way past the desired temperature and burning foods, or way under the desired temperature and not baking at all. I've checked the resistance on the temperature sensor and it checks out fine. I'm assuming that it's either the oven relay board or the oven control board... What and how can I test for either of these two?
We've had so many issues with this stove, including the recall on the burner control that wouldn't shut off the burners... Please help!

GCR366 Capital gas range bake won't work

My Capital gas range bake ignitor won't get power, It has thermostate to turn on bake and select temp. Broil works good. I already replace Thermostate but no help. I did some troubleshooting, one wire coming from thermostate to gas valve the wire coming out from gas valve is going to ignitor. Voltage is coming to gas valve but nothing on ignitor.

BOSCH NGMP055UC Cooktop- Not sparking

I have a gas cooktop that does not spark.

The cooktop is currently unhooked from the gas line. The LED lights come on when plugged into the 110v.
So far I have replaced the wiring harness and the ignition box. I'm afraid that the wiring is incorrect and I am unable to get the unit to spark.

Is there a wiring diagram anywhere? I've tried to search multiple avenues for a photo, video or screen shot of one of these units with the top off- no such luck.

From left to right the wiring harness starts with blue, orange, purple, red and lastly yellow. Each valve has and "in and out" the colored wires are all going into the ports numbered "13" on the valves and the black connections are all going into the "11" ports. There is one valve in the middle that's different, due to the dual burner in the middle and this valve isn't labeled the same, nor is the same size, nor orientation as the smaller valves. I have the purple wire clipped to the left terminal thats in the middle of the valve switch and the black lead on the harness is clipped to the terminal on the end of the valve. The colored wire harness is all taped together and flows into a preset order on a plastic plug, this plug has been plugged into the blue ignitor box.

Out of the back end of the ignitor I have the wires in the following order- (left to right) blue upper level, orange lower level, purple upper level, red lower level and yellow upper level.

I currently have the top stainless cover off as well as the burner covers. I tested the unit by putting one burner cover on and trying to spark it. I did not set all five in place. There was no clicking, spark or anything of notice.

On the main power cord I have the wires as black in the top terminal, white in the middle and the green ground as the lowest. I'm all out of ideas without any wiring diagrams! What am I missing?

Thank you!

JGRP430WP00 JennAir pro oven

I am lucky. Mother in law bought a brand new jen air pro oven. She had some issues with it the 1st 6 months. Any ways after it broke again during the holidays that was it.
She went and bought a new samsung. (She can afford to)

So i got the jen air. Supposedly nothing would power up.
But i pluged it in here. And i have pwr. Main Board seems to work. She had LP gas. I have natural gas. And no. She doesn't have the natural gas jets. That's my issue. Where can i get jets that wont cost me a arm and a leg? I have the sizes i need out of the manuel. But wow, jen air is proud of these jets.
I am a mechanic. Motorcycle. I drill/make jets all the time
I am seriously thinking about making some. If there are no good options. Any help would be great.

HBLP451LUC Bosch wall oven control panel stops working everytime there's a power surge

Problems with my Bosch walloven control panel/keypad:
Repair man has been called out 4 times in less than a year, each time for the same problem (I go to use the oven and the keypad and/or control panel buttons don't respond when pressed). 1st two times they replaced the entire control panel. 2nd and 3rd times the repairmen turned off the power in the house and turned it back on and the oven worked fine.
They told me they don't know why this happens but they suspect it's happening everytime there's a power surge or the power goes off. I was not aware of the power going off either time, but he says it could happen when there's even just a quick surge.
I can't live with an oven where I have to reset the breaker everytime I need to use it.
They told me, "this is a very common problem with electronic appliances these days". I've also ready on various other web sites that many makes and models have the same issue, but no one has proposed a solution. Problem is in order for me to reset the breaker I have to go through someone else's apartment and by law I have to give them 24 hour notice of entry. This is a major inconvenience and I certainly don't think I should have to live with this problem. None of the other appliances in my house have this problem and they all have electronic keypads, etc. The oven is still under warranty. And I want to know why this is happening and what the permanent solution to this is so I can force the company to fix it once and for all. I'm trying to avoid forcing the warranty company to replace the oven because they will just replace it with the same oven and I'll end up with the same problem. I want the problem resolved permanently.
I spoke to the electrician who installed the electrical for this oven, and he came back out and tested everything and said there's nothing wrong with the electrical going to the oven.
I'm frustrated and don't know what to do here. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what could be done to permanently solve the problem. I would sincerely appreciate any feedback or valuable input.

Thx
Mindy
