Oven won't light even with glowing igniter? Safety valve controls gas flow to burner. Moderately easy repair with gas line disconnect required.
My tenant thought that the oven safety valve was bad, but after some research, I found that the transfer of heat from the igniter had to be sufficient enough to cause the valve to open.Your agent confirmed this and reassured me that even if the igniter was glowing, there was a 99% chance that it wasn't getting hot enough. I ordered the igniter, and also the safety valve just in case, as we were going to be fixing this on Christmas eve, so the oven could be used for Christmas dinner. Your agent... Read more
Oven won't light or has gas odor? The safety valve controls gas flow to the burner. Common fix when igniter glows but oven won't ignite. DIY-friendly repair.

This is a gas safety valve that controls the flow of gas to the oven burner. It works in conjunction with the oven igniter - when the igniter reaches the proper temperature, the safety valve opens to allow gas to flow and ignite. Replace this valve if your oven does not heat, the igniter glows but gas never flows to the burner, or you smell gas when the oven is turned off.
Replaced the old valve with a new one from AppliancePartsPros.com. I watched one of the YouTube videos to get an idea of what the process would entail. I gathered the tools I would require, plus a work light. The repair/replacement went pretty good. One thing the video I watched didn't cover was adjusting the valve for a propane system. I compared my old valve to the new one and saw that I would have to screw down the oven gas outlet until it "bottomed out". Read more
Replace a gas range burner valve that's broken, stuck open, or causing hard-to-adjust flames. Moderate DIY repair requires raising the stovetop.
After turning off the gas and unplugging the electricity, I removed all the burners from the stove top using a 3/16" hex socket. Then used a 1/4" socket to removed two or three screws under each burner which hold the burner base to the bottom of the top panel. Then pulled all the knobs and removed the front panel which was held in by two Phillips screws accessible from underneath the panel. It helps to open the oven door to get at these screws. With the knob panel gone, I removed two screws... Read more

Oven won't heat or ignite? A faulty gas control valve prevents gas flow to the burner. Moderate DIY repair restores reliable baking in 1-2 hours.
I found I could "rap" on my broiler/oven control valve and the oven would light, so I ordered a new control valve. Installing valve was not difficult except for having to lay on the floor and work in a small space. After installation, the oven lit only ONE time...and the boiler/oven problem was unchanged....broiler would light, but not oven. (Both incandescent pilots would glow brightly, so I did not suspect the igniter/pilot.) A friend suggested I swap ignitors anyway...and indeed, the... Read more

From the Appliance Parts website I watched a 3 minute Youtube video. The video actually explained the process on another range but it was enough information for me to do the project myself. The part came 2nd day UPS and I installed it in under an hour. The only hitch was that I didn't see the note (maybe it wasn't there) that explained how the valve is set for Natural gas and that for LP gas I'd need to adjust the jet that goes into the burner tube. Maybe that was on the video. Read more
This is a gas valve that controls the flow of gas to a surface burner on a gas range. It connects to the burner control knob and regulates the flame from high to low settings. Replace this valve if a burner won't ignite, the flame is uneven or won't adjust properly, or you detect a gas smell when the knob is in the off position. Includes mounting screw.
I called AppliancePartsPros.com to see if they carried the parts that I needed. They knew what parts I needed and they were in stock. When the valves arrived I took the stove apart and replaced the valves. The valves were easy to replace with a minimum amount of tools: A screwdriver, adjustable end wrench, and a 1/4" drive socket set. I have all the tools necessary to do this job, but if I didn't and had to buy them, it would still be less expensive than hiring a repair person to do this job... Read more
