Gas oven Temp issues

Safety First: Always ensure the oven is turned off and the gas supply is disconnected before you start working on it. Make sure to follow all safety protocols and wear appropriate protective gear. Visual Inspection: Begin with a basic visual inspection. Check for any clear signs of damage or wear such as loose connections, frayed wires, or obvious physical damage. Check the Thermostat: The thermostat controls the oven's temperature. If it's malfunctioning, it could cause the oven to run cold. Verify the thermostat's accuracy using a thermometer designed for ovens. Examine the Igniter: Gas ovens use an igniter to light the gas and create heat. If the igniter is weak or faulty, it may not open the gas valve correctly, or it might take a long time to open the valve, causing the oven to heat slowly or unevenly. Inspect the Burner: Check the burner for any blockages or damage. A blockage can prevent gas from reaching the burner, while damage can prevent it from lighting uniformly. Check the Gas Safety Valve: The gas safety valve ensures that gas is not released until the igniter has reached the correct temperature. If the valve is faulty, it might not release gas properly, causing the oven to run cold. Double Stack Consideration: Since this is a double stack oven and both are experiencing issues, it's possible there's a problem with a component that they share. It's also possible that there's an issue with the gas supply to the ovens. Document Findings: As you go through these steps, be sure to document any findings. This will be helpful if you need to order parts, explain the situation to others, or if further repairs are needed.
