It came with the house so is around 25 years old, and a very good
oven. Around 7 or 8 years ago the oven started failing and it was the
igniter or thermocouple I think. It seems to be failing again, taking
longer to turn on, as long as 30 seconds. Experience tells me that it
isn't going to get

II see a few things on Ehow about replacing an igniter, but not for a
convection oven. I thinking that maybe this is just best to call a
local appliance guy rather than try to track down the right part and
figure out how to get it in there.

I'd appreciate if anyone with experience with this type of oven could
comment on whether it is a do-it-yourself type thing or how much it
should cost if done by a pro. I'm reasonably handy and can change a
thermocouple on my boiler but that's out in the open. I haven't opened
up a stove yet and with the blower and such, this is clearly more
complicated.

One tip I've found that's useful is to go to the online parts shops.
While they don't tell you how to do it, most of them have exploded
parts diagrams that can give you insight into
how the thing is put together, comes apart, etc.

Wish I was more help. I've never worked on a unit such as this. Sorry.
