Important Tips for Blomberg Models

Blomberg ovens may not operate if the clock is not set or if key lock feature is enabled.

Possible Causes

How to Identify: When oven is set to heat, the igniter does not glow or glows weakly without igniting gas; burner does not light.

Part: Oven hot surface igniter or spark igniter

Gas safety valve or gas supply problem

How to Identify: No ignition even if igniter glows; insufficient gas flow; surface burners work but oven does not. Ensure gas shutoff valve is open.

Part: Gas safety valve / gas shut-off valve

Incorrect settings or control panel lock

How to Identify: Oven display and lights are off or intermittent; circuit breaker could be tripped.

Part: Fuse/circuit breaker/house power
