Frank T November 14, 2022 for Model Number JGS968SEK2SS Couple Years ago convection went out on my ge, but the oven still worked fine for years after that the Ignitor went so replaced it then it would stick at 100 degrees and not rise. I would smell gas, so thought bad Ignitor so replaced again . Nothing changed ignitor tested fine and heated up, but no change in yemp .The only way the rail will ignite is by 1 opening door to cause a back draft and make gas flow or use a candle lighter after waiting wit 2 minutes for gas to flow. .. what Should I be looking to Replace next.
1 Answer Frank T, Thank you for the question. Based on the model and the information you have provided. The oven gas valve is likely the cause. WB21T10014 Read More...

Gil May 15, 2022 I have a frigidaire LP oven. Ignitor stopped working was burnt on wire. I changed it but still didn't work. I took out the safety valve tested good. Was the circuit board. Had that changed. Now I smell gas and sometimes sounds like a torch. Works fine but not right for sure. Should I change the valve or is it just not sitting right or something else I'm missing ?
1 Answer Gil, if the model number of your appliance could be provided in a new question, this will allow the most accurate information to be presented. Read More...
Brian December 20, 2021 for Model Number JGBS07PEH1WW IS THE OVEN SAFETY VALVE FOR BOTH NATURAL AND/ OR LP GAS
1 Answer Brian, To convert this safety valve to LP you would tighten it down 1 1/2 to 2 turns and reverse that if you are going from LP to Natural. Read More...
Mike Yallaly October 08, 2021 for Model Number PGB975SEM1SS Flame on oven burner too low. Takes too long to heat. Can this be the oven safety valve? Range is on propane & all other burners work fine.
1 Answer Mike, This issue would most likely be with the oven safety valve not working properly. Read More...
Mark March 31, 2020 for Model Number mark.erdos@gmail.com Hello, I just swapped the igniter in mu GE oven (0546A713471DNAT) and now the oven ignites, but it would not turn off anymore when I turn the knob to the off position. The flame goes to super low, and stays at that until I turn the gas off at the shutoff valve. Should I get a new the safety valve (Y-30128-77)? I can, I just don't understand why would that go bad just now? I barely touched it to run the igniter wire behind it... Thank you! Mark
1 Answer Mark, Please reask your question and include the model/serial numbers for proper research of the issue. Read More...
Fred November 28, 2018 for Model Number JGBS20BEA4WH There is a very faint smell of gas. With the oven knob turned to off, the oven igniter glows for a while then goes out. It comes on and glows by itself. When the oven is turned on the igniter glows and the oven comes on and works fine. Suggestions?
1 Answer Fred, Find the oven safety valve and do a bubble test to see if its leaking with the oven off. Testall connection points you find. Read More...
Emma September 12, 2018 for Model Number JGBP30BEA I use my oven usually only 3 times a week. For the past many of weeks, I noticed a smell when I opened the oven door to arrange racks, etc in preparation of turning on the oven. At this point, the oven will have been off for at least a day and often for several days. I guess my sense of smell is not that good, because it just smelled stale to me. A few days ago I mentioned this to my husband and he said that the smell is actually gas. (A few other family members I asked agreed with him.) We smell nothing around the outside of the range or by the stovetop, just when we open the oven door. I did not use the stove top or oven the last couple of days, and last nite when I opened the oven door, I discovered the smell to be gone. Could a faulty oven gas safety valve be the cause of this gas odor or would it not be the cause because if it were the smell would not go away over time? If the gas safety valve is not at fault, would you know what the cause is? Thank you
1 Answer Emma, Though it's usually an occasional occurrence, Yes the WB19K14 Oven Safety Valve, could have a defect and produce a small or intermittent gas leak from the valve. There is a possible in the gas pressure and the WB19K10001 Pressure Regulator, If the pressure in the supply line increases past 6 or 7 WCI, the internal "vent" (the blue cap) will open and release the excess gas pressure, but this occurs even less than a "sticky", leaking oven safety valve.

Dave May 26, 2018 for Model Number JGBP29SEK3SS My oven had a large explosion, about blew the door off! After investigating found that the igniter worked, but took about a minute to start glowing. Is this a problem with the igniter or the gas safety valve? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dave, I would recommend changing the safety valve WB19K10051 and the bake burner assembly WB16K22. Also, have the gas supplier check gas pressure to the unit. Read More...
Eastnewyork April 10, 2018 for Model Number JGBP36SEJ1SS My oven has bright glow but the gas is not flowing for 2-3 minutes and when does lite stove is full of gas and huge back flow with a boom what Part needs to be replaced gas igniter or the gas valve?
1 Answer Hello Eastnewyork. Test for 3.0-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter 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. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
