Default Gas oven jamming garage door opener remotes???

Has anyone ever hear of something like this? Does it sound like
defective oven? How to fix???

My neighbor just had a set of new garage door openers installed. The
remotes didn't work. Installer couldn't figure it out. Gave up and
removed openers.

Second guy with different openers had same problem but finally traced
it to the Kitchen Aid Superba gas oven (NOT microwave) since everything
works fine once the oven is unplugged. I THINK the oven is on a
different circuit than the openers. It seems to be putting out some
frequency that is jamming the remotes. The oven does not have to be on
to jam, just plugged it. Installer says he's never seen a problem like it.

What could cause an oven to do this???

Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

My gas stove burner spark igniter interferes with some things, but that
only fires off when the burners are being lit. I have no idea what would
cause it with the oven, those normally use a hot surface igniter. You
could try plugging it into an RFI filter and see if that helps.
