The Oven Safety Valve is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ranges. This valve controls gas flow to the oven burner.
Causes of a faulty oven safety valve can include wear of sealing surfaces due to prolonged heating and cooling during cooking cycles. Exposure to food or liquid residues over time may also affect valve function.
Symptoms of a bad oven safety valve include:
- The oven not heating up despite the igniter working correctly
- A smell of gas indicates a leak or uncontrolled release
- Inconsistent oven temperatures or heating patterns
- The oven failed to maintain the set temperature
This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.
