Jack for Model Number SF303PEPQ1 The oven portion of my stove does not work, but the stove top does. The electric ignitor in the oven still glows red hot but it seems as though there is no gas getting to the stove. I replaced the gas valve w/ a new valve, the valve listed above and I'm getting gas now but it's still not working properly. With this particular oven, it takes a few seconds for the fire to actually light, but now it's taking longer. When it does light, the flames a much larger than they should be. I can see the flames coming up though the vents inside the oven. Flames well over 6". Could this be a bad replacement valve or is it something else?
Answer Jack, When you replaced the gas valve, did you re configure it for LP gas ? Your description indicates the new valve is set for Nat gas, and your gas supply is LP gas. Your delayed ignition is probably due to a weak igniter W10918546 it has to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps or produce 3.2 to 3.6 VAC on the wires at the gas valve to open the valve bi metal properly.
