call cody he could probably look at it... there is a little contact switch that sends current to the igniter it has somehow become stuck (probably food residue) you need to de-stickaffie it .

(seriously hitting the range near the knob might work)

5/5/2008 4:26:58 PM

Unplug it.

5/5/2008 4:28:05 PM

haha yeah that works too (temp)

5/5/2008 4:29:20 PM

[Edited on May 5, 2008 at 4:30 PM. Reason : i found it]

5/5/2008 4:30:04 PM

[Edited on May 5, 2008 at 4:31 PM. Reason : saw it on some pron movie]

5/5/2008 4:30:30 PM

5/5/2008 4:31:19 PM

unplug it, pull it away from the wall a few inches and find where it plugs in

or in the mean time cut off the breaker to that part of the house if it's really driving you bat shit crazy

5/5/2008 4:31:37 PM

^^^aha sorry. i didnt realize these things plugged in.
i thought they were like ovens or something.

i think some water spilled into the knob.

could that be the problem?


and thanks i was seriously about to cry because of the ticking noise

[Edited on May 5, 2008 at 4:32 PM. Reason : whooo]

Make sure you have a ciggy lit when you unplug the gas.

Let's go crazy.

5/5/2008 4:36:44 PM

hahaha well i did realize you could physically unplug them.

i thought maybe i'd have to flip a breaker or something

5/5/2008 4:38:53 PM

Well i mean.... grills don't plug into the wall and they're gas too.. so i can understand that....
But they also don't have digital displays etc.

5/5/2008 4:39:21 PM

plug it back in and see what happens.

5/5/2008 4:39:28 PM

^^my stove is ooooold

5/5/2008 4:40:12 PM

I really hope people don't ever take some of the sarcastic advice given on this website and kill themselves.

5/5/2008 4:41:41 PM

hahaha sooo maybe no digital display huh ??

5/5/2008 4:45:20 PM

ill be off work here shortly. whats your address?

[Edited on May 5, 2008 at 4:46 PM. Reason : yea]

5/5/2008 4:46:20 PM

just leave it unplugged and use a lighter to light it

[Edited on May 5, 2008 at 4:47 PM. Reason : seriously we did that for a while ]

5/5/2008 4:47:29 PM

hehe if you think you could fix it

ill give it to you

5/5/2008 4:48:22 PM

Be careful. If you let the stove drop below 50 mph it may explode.

5/5/2008 4:49:55 PM

^^ok give it to me

[Edited on May 5, 2008 at 4:53 PM. Reason : i had to add those ^ things]

5/5/2008 4:50:31 PM

^^hahahaha

^pm sending

5/5/2008 5:07:30 PM

Probably just needs a new switch or a spark module. I doubt it would cost much to get it fixed.
