The short answer
American Range Residential ARDCT gas stove is a model line whose members are listed in full in the table below — that list, and nothing beyond it, is what this page covers. A burner that clicks and will not light is where most owners of these arrive, with a flame that is yellow, uneven or lifting behind it.
What goes wrong on these, and where each one is covered
- A burner that clicks and will not light — The spark repeats and no flame follows, usually on one burner while the others light.
- A flame that is yellow, uneven or lifting — The burner lights, but the flame is ragged, yellow-tipped, or lifting off the ports.
- An oven that will not reach temperature — A long igniter glow with no flame, or heat that falls away short of the setting.
- Control valves stiff or turning badly — A knob that needs force, will not click into place, or turns past its stop.
- A smell of gas at the appliance — The one symptom here that is acted on before it is investigated.
- An igniter that sparks continuously — Clicking that carries on after the burner lights, or starts with every knob off.
Problem classes in order
- A burner that clicks and will not light — First on this line.
- A flame that is yellow, uneven or lifting — Second on this line.
- An oven that will not reach temperature — Third on this line.
- Control valves stiff or turning badly — Fourth on this line.
- A smell of gas at the appliance — Fifth on this line.
- An igniter that sparks continuously — Sixth on this line.
- Body: No snapshot here carries a rate for this line, so this list gives an order and withholds the share. Against the brand's general picture, control valves stiff or turning badly moves up and a smell of gas at the appliance moves down, because of how this line is built.
Models in the ARDCT family — Every model this page covers, exactly as the model line is recorded. Nothing outside this table is a model number, and nothing on this page claims to cover a model that is not in it.
