Darren for Model Number 79071389700 (Kenmore, Range) The oven takes excessive time to pre-heat and then will not ignite to keep hot after reaching set temp. Have replaced the sensor probe, and the Broiler igniter works.
Answer Hello Darren. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
