the oven *knob, then push in to start the igniter. Once the gas is
lit, you let go and the gas stays lit. Well on my oven, the gas goes
out after you let go of the knob. If I hold the knob on for a good
10-15 seconds, then the oven stays lit. But after it reaches the

Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem? The broiler has the

for Avanti, and Avanti's customer support is a joke. The rest of the
stove is fine. I'd like to fix this problem, I've fixed stoves in the
past, I just need to know what part I need.
Thanks

Have you contacted the manufacturer, or do you know someone that has a
similar stove, or do you know someone who knows someone who is a
repair person???- Hide quoted text -

All the manufacturer tells me is that I need to get an authorized
person to look at it, they are not very helpful. I have googled this
stove online, and it seems a lot of people are not happy with Avanti's
products.
I've also searched under "oven ignition systems" and came across this
excellent link:
http://www.appliance411.com/faq/gas_..._systems.shtml

but not once does it mention the type of ignition system this oven
has. How wierd is that?
I've fixed enough stoves in to know how they work, but this stove has
me wondering if it even works right from day 1.
