We have an older Sears natural gas stove/oven. In the past few months,
when you light the oven, by turning the gas on (it has a pilot light),
it doesn't light right away. It might take up to 30 seconds and then it
comes on with a BOOM!! Sometimes it causes the door to fly open a
couple of inches.
What could be causing this??



Gas is building up until it comes in contact with the flame. Your burner
probably needs to be cleaned.


geeez, i turn the gas immediately off & wait if it
doesn't ignite within 5-10 seconds (tops) - but to
wait 30 seconds ???? accident waiting to happen -
the fact it blows open the oven door should be a
BIG clue !! unless you want the Darwin award, that
oven should not be used - period - until it's
properly repaired/cleaned.


Shhhhhh.....don't give this guy any more clues. Maybe he'll be incinerated
before he can reproduce. People like this raise children who are equally
unable to come to logical conclusions about what they see right before their
eyes. We don't need any more of them.
