What would cause my gas range top burners to partially ignite or fail to
ignite completely only while my oven is used.


Hi,

Approx age, model, make?

Gas pressure would one of the first things that would come to mind on
that. If the pressure regulator is a little wishy/washy turning more
items on may lower the pressure enough that the surface can't work.

Will the surface burners work ok when the oven is not in use?
