GE XL44 range. Added new igniter when I turn on the oven I see the igniter glow really bright but I start smelling gas but no flame starts below.

Pls Help!!!!!!!!!
Hello Corky,

Thank you that fixed. I greatly appreciate it.

I once had a customer replaced his own igniter and put it in upside down, it was so high up that the gas was passing completely below the glowing coil for several seconds before it would finally ignite, usually with a loud booming sound. If that's not your problem, then there's most likely a problem with the gas safety valve, to which the igniter is connected by wires. Replace that and your gas smell should go away. Just be sure to check the fitting joints with some soapy water after changing.

Why does a Kitchen gas burner glow yellow when a pot of boiling water overflows?

Good question. Could be a number of reason, but my guess would be that you have some salt in your boiling water. When NaCl solution is placed in a flame the Na cation gets ionized and yellow light is given off. It doesn't take much salt for you to see this effect. You will see this even with regular tap water, since it also has a small amount of salts dissolved in it.
In fact, standard distilled water is usually not pure enough to avoid this effect. That's why chemist buy special stills to make ultrapure water for experiments.
