Matt for Model Number GS773LXSS My gas oven range is not heating up. The burners work fine, but when I try to turn on the oven, I hear one click, but not the pop and hiss of the igniter and gas flowing. I was originally told that it was the spark module board, which we replaced, and it turned out that was not the problem. We are now told that it is the gas safety valve. How likely is it that this is the correct diagnosis, as we are already spent a couple hundred on the spark module board and really can't afford to put much more into this repair.
Answer Matt, The way to determine whether the gas safety valve WPW10293048 is faulty would be to do a resistance check ok the coils. If you pull the unit out and unplug it. Remove the wires from the safety valve making sure you mark which goes where. Do a resistance check from bake to common and from broil to common. The common is the center terminal. The resistance value should be 216 ohms across each connection. If not then the safety valve is faulty and needs to be replaced. Read More...
