Safety Valve

DAVE790 for Model Number 790.75403500 Kenmore Elite Gas Range

Answer Hello Dave, The measurements you should be taking at the ignitor is actually the amperage, not the voltage. The ignitor should be drawing from 3.2 amps to 3.6 amps. Less than 3.2 amps of current and the ignitor requires replacement. I use a clamp on ampmeter TJCL1100 to take the measurement because it is impossible to measure current with a meter with leads without breaking the circuit and putting the meter in series with the circuit.

Answer Hello Dave790. You should be able to remove the drawer from the bottom of the unit and access the valve to test and see if it is good.

Answer Hello Julia. No, if a safety valve 316031400 is bad, you will need to replace the valve on the unit. They can not be repaired. 

Robert for Model Number TGF657BCD-2

Answer Hello Robert. The voltage should be around 3.03-3.3 volts AC at the safety valve 316031400 when the igniter is on. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
