Kenmore / Sears Range Valve

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.

This GE Oven Safety Valve is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. The part's primary function is to prevent gas from releasing until the igniter has received enough voltage to ignite it safely. Not allowing any gas to exit before ignition helps avoid potential safety hazards from uncombusted gas.

Causes for failure could include wear and corrosion over many years of use. Repeated heating and cooling stresses may cause cracking or breaking in the valve's delicate regulating components. Mineral deposits or dirt buildup may also obstruct proper opening and closing.

Symptoms of a faulty safety valve would include:

• gas releasing or leaking even when the igniter is not lit
• the oven or burners not lighting at all when the valve is engaged

This GE OEM part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore models.
