Hi all,
Hopefully this is in the right forum. I've been told it sounds like an electrical issue so that's why I'm posting here but feel free to move it if not.
I have a roughly 10 year old gas/electric stove in my 17 year old house. The oven won't light when there's a heavy load from other appliances, especially the AC. Normally I can turn off the AC and the oven will light but not the last 2 days. Gas is working because I can smell it, so I assume the electric part (whatever that is) isn't lighting the oven.
Someone told me it sounds like the AC and the stove may be on the same circuit and the breaker should flip if it couldn't handle it. Not sure if either is correct but I can tell you the breaker doesn't flip and I do have some funny wiring my house.
Does this sound like an electrical issue? If so, how would I go about addressing it?
Thanks,
Mark
