Sam B Burnside , KY September 12, 2014 Appliance: Model WHIRILPOOL GOLD Oven not working Gas valve would not open , replaced valve. Tried igniter panel first. Suggest that you skip that step since the valve is cheaper and is most likely the problem. Easy fix, remove and replace valve takes about 15 minutes. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
