Jim November 04, 2024 for Model Number FPGF3081KFK When using oven it will sometimes not maintain temp. like setting temp to 425 it will get up to 425 but after 15-20 minutes the temp of oven will be around 275 this doesn't happen every time but frequently. I have tapped the safety valve OEM 15518418 and listening very closely can hear the gas start to flow thru. The range is 13 years old but still in good shape. Please help.
1 Answer Jim, Based on the model number provided the safety valve for your model is Valve [OEM15518418] Read More...
Michael J January 19, 2024 for Model Number 790.72502011 Kenmore gas oven burners light and heat fine but oven and broiler not heating. Was gonna start with ignitor but wasn't sure if the broiler had it's own.
1 Answer Michael, it would be recommended that the bake igniter 5304506545 or broil igniter 316489403 be tested for 120VAC when the corresponding cooking cycle is set. If there is not voltage, the oven sensor 316490000 would need to be tested for resistance and it should measure around 1100 Ohms if it is good. If it is, the failure would most likely be the main control 316557211. Read More...
Jay February 07, 2022 for Model Number LGGF3043KFM Trying to find the safety valve for my oven. Just replaced the igniter, burner tube (igniter bracket was stripped) and temperature probe, but still getting a loud gas noise (and smell) after the preheat has completed. Believe the next step is to replace the safety valve but having a hard time finding which part it is. There are several valves listed for my model but cannot find one that specifically says it is the oven safety valve LGGF3043KFM
1 Answer Jay, the safety valve would be part number 316404901. If the ignitor is not glowing when this noise is occurring, the safety valve is not closing properly. However, if there is a flame at the time of the noise and the ignitor is glowing, the air shutter may need to be adjusted and the burner tube cleaned to ensure gas can burn properly. Read More...
Tim December 30, 2021 for Model Number FGGF3054KBF Alll top burners are orange flames at top of flame. And the oven looks orange also. what could be the problem. its a ng.
1 Answer Hello Tim, You should first have the gas pressure checked by the gas supplier. They will normally do this at no charge depending on your local utility board. If the gas pressure to the appliance is good, you will most likely have to replace the regulator 5304521339. Read More...
Lynn April 18, 2021 for Model Number FGF366ECB My oven is PROPANE. The repairman said I need part # 316404901 safety valve. He said something about flipping something up so it runs on propane and not natural gas. Do you know what he is talking about? I have watched various videos on installing a new safety valve, but none say anything about a difference in installation for gas and propane. This is the only thing scaring me enough to not change it myself! Thanks for any advice.
1 Answer Lynn, Based on the information provided the safety valve would not have anything to flip (that is only if you were replacing the regulator) the valve does need to be adjusted to LP by using a 1/2 inch wrench and turning the orifice clockwise 1.5 to 2 turns. Read More...
Lisa December 04, 2020 for Model Number FGF348KCN My oven preheats to 350 in 15 minutes but takes an hour to get to 450 and won’t go any higher. The igniter is yellow hot and I’m getting gas and ignition. The range was set up for lp when I received it. There was a 4x4 hole it the top of the oven where a broil element would go. I covered 75% of it with sheet metal thinking too much heat was escaping but that hasn’t solved the problem. Why won’t this oven heat to 475/500?
1 Answer Lisa, It would be recommended to check to make sure that the oven sensor is good. The oven sensor can work at lower settings and then break down at higher temps. The resistance at 77 degrees should be 1080 and at 350 should be about 1654. If the resistances are good then it could be a faulty control board. Read More...
Freddy August 04, 2020 for Model Number FGF368GCM Bake burner has 1/8 inch flame,broil flame normal, igniter lights every time while door is open with flamespreader off so i can see. With oven door closed looking in, flame only lights first 2 inches of burner,when i open the door you can smell prophane ,and the burner ignites the rest of the way, Leave the door closed and it lights with burner only first 2 inches
1 Answer Freddy, You will want to check to make sure that there is airflow around the oven but this is most likely going to be a faulty oven safety valve [AP316404901]. Read More...
Ronald December 11, 2018 for Model Number FGF368GCB Range top works and the broiler works but the bake function of the oven isn't working. There is no natural gas smell or igniter glow when it is turned on, worked fine until today then nothing. Do you think it is the valve, or the igniter?
Craig April 23, 2018 for Model Number FGFL87GSA The oven quit working. Neither the oven burner nor the broiler burner will light. The control panel shows them lighting, but they don't. All the top burners work fine. It looks like both broiler and oven burners have only one thing in common that is not common to the stove top burners, shown on the schematics as the 'valve'. Does this makes sense? It is pricey on its own. I have perhaps average handy-man skills; can I replace this part on my own? Adding the price of a service call to the price of the part is about 1/2 the cost of a new stove! It wouldn't have the convection-assist feature, but I never use it anyway.
1 Answer Hello Craig. The control board 316418708 sends the power to the ignitors. If they are not getting power, then it may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Thank you. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Shektek November 07, 2017 for Model Number 790.71359703 Oven lights intermittently. Sometimes there is a slight gas smell when it's trying to ignite and the igniter always glows. Replaced igniter, worked more consistently for a while, then intermittent again. Replaced gas safety valve, no difference. I notice now that the igniter is more red than yellow, but it's only a couple of months old.
1 Answer Hello Shektek, The ignitor should glow all the time the flame is lit. It should also be glowing yellow to white hot. If not, the ignitor 5304534663 will be the issue. Read More...
