Amana AGR5630BDW1

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160711-849B6-1581488. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Amana AGR5630BDW1 (gas range with oven). Incident: When the igniter for the oven is turned on, it does not ignite. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries, before the oven comes on. The problem started a year ago and has been consistently happening since that time. The consumer contacted a [REACTED] technician to come out an look at the oven. The consumer previously had a [REDACTED] range and this tech. serviced it in the past, so she felt comfortable having his look at this one. A tech. came out in 6/2016 and said that he has seen this problem before and other technicians have mentioned it as well. The tech. told the consumer that there is a problem with the air-flow to the igniter, which causes the delay for the igniter. The tech. said that there is a fine piece of metal in the igniter components, which is paper thin. They bend this metal to help with the air-flow, which is what he did for the consumer. After the repair, there was some improvement, but the problem continued to occur. The consumer is concerned that this could present a carbon monoxide hazard or a fire hazard.
