I've got a Jen-air slide in gas range (model #JGS 8850ADQ) that takes
forever to heat up and often can never make it up to full temperature. It's
a little over a year old so of course it's out of warranty.

I thought I'd start poking nose in there to find a cause, but thought I'd
ask here for advise on what to start looking for.

What part of it doesn't heat properly? IIRC this unit has two burners, a
grille, and an oven. Or doesn't anything heat properly? Did it ever heat
more quickly? (and if not, why didn't you complain to the supplier
before the warranty was out?)

Sorry I wasn't clear. The oven doesn't come up to temp.

btw-this model doesn't have a grill, just 4 burners and a convection oven,
all gas, with electronic controls for the oven.

Does the igniter glow brightly, or is it dim?

If the latter, it probably needs to be replaced.

what are you using propane or natural gas? Is it jetted for the right
gas? if it is (and it probably is) then I would point at the thermostat
first.
