Ted October 19, 2011 for Model Number RGB535BEA1AD Wouldn't the gas not leak through though if I unhooked the wires from the safety valve though? Can still hear and smell a small amount of gas with wires unhooked.
1 Answer Hello Ted. The power opens and closes the gas valve. If the valve was open, and the power was removed, it will stay open. Hope this helps. Read More...
Suzanne R. October 19, 2011 for Model Number GE JGBS07 PEH WW My oven burners working fine, when I turned on my oven, it would not ignite (no glow at all from ignitor). Troubleshooting that, I then replaced the oven ignitor. Glows just fine now. However, oven does not ignite. I can smell gas (slightly) yet no ignition. . . Could this be now an oven safety valve now? They're expensive! Please help and thank you.
1 Answer Hello Suzanne. If the igniter is new, you will want to check and make sure it is installed properly and beside the burner. Also make sure the gas is turned on on the unit. If so, and it does not lite, replace the safety valve WB19K31 is there is 3.2 to 3.6 VAC at the valve with the igniter turned on. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ted October 18, 2011 for Model Number RGB535BEA1AD Now when you say oven control do you mean oven electronic control board.
1 Answer Hello Ted. Yes, the electronic control board is the part that is sending the power to the valve. The relay is stuck in the board. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ted October 18, 2011 There is power going to the gas valve and you say if there wasn't it would be gas valve. So what could it be?
1 Answer Hello Ted. If there is power to the gas valve, and the oven is turned off, then the control for the oven is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ted October 17, 2011 for Model Number RGB535BEA1AD Changed the ignitor and it lit just fine, but when I went to turn off oven it wouldn't turn off. Shut gas valve off and turned valve back on and you can hear gas. Might this be the safety valve is stuck open?
1 Answer Hello Ted. See if there is power going to the gas valve. If not, you will need to replace the gas valve WB19K31. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
King September 07, 2011 for Model Number JGBC20BEA2CT The stove heads do work fine, but when I try to light the oven, I get a glow light but the gas will not release. If I tap the valve, the gas will release but once oven hits correct temp, it does not relight to maintain temp. I am wondering if it is the valve or the igniter?
1 Answer Hello King. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve WB19K31. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter WB13K21 will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Joe Y August 20, 2011 for Model Number JGBS23AEW2AA WHEN I TURN ON MY GAS OVEN THE IGNITOR GET RED HOT, BUT THE OVEN DOES NOT TURN ON . THE STOVE HEADS WORK FINE . ANY SUGGESTION TO WHAT PART NEEDS REPLACING . THANK YOU
1 Answer Joe, You most likely have a weak glow bar igniter WB13K21 . It can glow, but if it does not draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps, or supply 3.2 to 3.6 VAC to the terminals of the safety burner valve, the valve will not open and release gas for the ignition of the burner. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Helm July 14, 2011 for Model Number jgbs20wea1ww The valve WB19K31 was ordered and will be replaced any way. However if the reading does not come up to 3.2-3.6amps, where do I trouble shoot next? I can't see where those wires go.
1 Answer Hi Helm. The oven racks should be removed. Lift up on the oven bottom and remove. There are 2 -wing nuts holding the flame spreader on top of the bake burner assembly. Take the front hold down screw out of the burner where it attaches to the front frame. Lift out the whole burner assembly and inspect the burner ignitor. This part # is WB13K21. Thank you.

Helm July 14, 2011 for Model Number jgbs20wea1ww Sorry for sounding confuessed, but i'm not sure witch wire I should be getting up to 3.3 or 3.5 amps out of. Is it the plug for the ignitor or the two seperate leads for the oven saftey valve? I need help. Thank's
1 Answer Hi Helm. The one ignitor wire that leads to the saftey valve should read 3.2 - 3.6amps to open the valve. The part # is WB19K31. Thank you. Read More...
Helm July 13, 2011 for Model Number jgbs20wea1ww in your answer it sounds like the safty valve in last thing to go bad
1 Answer Helm , Correct, 95% of gas oven temperature or ignition problems are due to a weak igniter, or loose wire connection. The other 5% seem to split down the middle as either a bad gas valve or control. Thaks, and Good Luck. Read More...
