Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the proper resistance reading for my Roper oven's RTD at room temperature if the manual is missing?
While specific values vary, a typical RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensor for a Roper oven will read between 1080 and 1100 ohms at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It's best to find a service manual online for your specific model for the most accurate value.
•How do I know if my igniter is weak on my gas Roper oven?
A weak igniter will usually glow orange but not ignite the gas. A healthy igniter should glow brightly yellow/white just before the gas valve opens. If it takes more than 60 seconds for the igniter to glow sufficiently to light the gas, it's likely weak and should be replaced.
•Where is the oven vent typically located on a Roper oven, and how do I safely check it?
The oven vent is usually located at the back of the oven, either on the cooktop surface or on the oven door itself. To check it, ensure the oven is cool and disconnected from power. Visually inspect for any blockage. You can use a small brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to gently remove any debris. Be careful not to damage any internal components.
