Hello,
I have an LG gas range (model LRG3095ST/02) that is about 7 years old (2014 manufacture year). For a while now I have been getting the F11 heat error when preheating the oven. I understand that this means that it has taken longer than 5 minutes for the oven to reach 150F. For several months, if I would simply restart the pre-heat, the oven will eventually reach temperature. In the beginning, I only had to restart the pre-heat once. Lately it has taken 3 or 4 times.
Yesterday, it simply would not reach temperature at all. I was able to turn on the broiler and get the oven temperature over 200F and then it kicked in and finished heating the rest of the way. Right now, I can't seem to get it up to temperature most of the time, but sometimes it does get there after one restart. Also, from when the oven was new, the oven temperature has been about 20 degrees F higher than it says it is. I understand that this can be adjusted but I never got around to it, partly because I wanted a better thermometer to determine the exact temperature and never got one.
I need to determine what the issue is. My understanding is that it is likely either the ignitor or the temperature sensor. I have been thinking that it is not the ignitor since the broiler will come on with no issue and up until now, the oven would get up to the correct temperature eventually.
For the ignitor, the OE part from LG is $130 and an aftermarket part is $33 to $60.
For the sensor, the OE part from LG is $54 and and aftermarket part is about $22.
There are multiple parts listed for the control board so I am not sure which I would need if that is the problem.
How do I go about determining which part is causing the problem?
Once I know what the issue is, is it a good idea to get an aftermarket part or should I spend the money on a part from LG?
If I need a new control board, which part do I need. There are more than one listed here.
Advice would be greatly appreciated,
