Montgomery Ward gas oven: not igniting

Terri -- Thursday, 10 October 2002, at 10:39 p.m.

I have an ancient Montgomery Ward gas oven. I believe the electric ignition is dead. How do I find parts for an oven as old as this? Can it be fixed? Is it even worth it? The wall mounted oven hasn't given me any other problems in 6 years.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

If it has an electronic ignition system, it can't be that old, I don't think they were in use before the 1970's. There shouldn't be too much problems locating replacement parts even for an appliance made in the 70's.

: How do I find parts for an oven as old as this?

How to go about getting parts for your appliances is described in the Appliance411 'Repair Parts' section. There are a number of avenues described.

: Can it be fixed?

The appliance? Probably. Once the cause or defective component is isolated, it may be able to be corrected or the defective part replaced.

: Is it even worth it?

In most cases , yes it is usually worth while to have just an ignition problem repaired.

You quite possibly would have a difficult time locating a replacement oven which would fit in the exact mounting as the original in which case cabinetry work might also be required to replace it. That's usually a considerable extra expense.
