Sherie for Model Number SF362LXSY0 Having an issue with the oven. When I turn it on there is no spark to light the oven and /or broiler or the smell of propane. The oven does not even click on. All the top burners work though. I was told that it was the valve and not the igniters. I don't think that it is the spark module since the top burners work. Why would there be propane flow to the burners and not the stove/broiler? I think that it might be the igniters not lighting the propane. Does the valve recognize spark and open the valve? Any help would be great. Thanks.
Answer Sherie, The issue could be the DSI spark module WPW10331686 and or the gas valve WPW10293048 The spark module supplies power to the igniters, when the igniter is sparking the control recognizes the voltage /resistance and completes the circuit to allow voltage to the gas valve solenoid, the solenoid opens and the gas is released and ignited. That's the easy explanation.
