Larry September 01, 2016 for Model Number GE XL44 JGBS20BEA The top burners work fine but the oven bottom and broiler do not work.
1 Answer Hello Larry. 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. 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...
Andrew September 11, 2015 for Model Number GE Spectra XL44 Our Burners work fine, but our Stove will take over an hour to get to 350. And the gas smell is noticeable when the oven is on and heating up. Again no issues with Burners, but stove has gotten significantly longer to heat up over the past 5 years that we have stopped using it. Would this be a regulator?
1 Answer Hello Andrew. 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.

Geoff June 11, 2015 for Model Number JGBS22BEA2WH The stove top burners are working fine. The ignitor for the oven comes on but, the the burner does not light.

Diana April 17, 2015 for Model Number jgbp30wea6ww Gas is on to the house but gas range burners and oven will not ignite. Burners spark...gas line is "open". Home inspector thought it could be a regulator...any other possibilities?
1 Answer Diana, If none of the burners are getting gas to them then the regulator would be the issue and need to be replaced. Read More...
Allen March 04, 2015 for Model Number JCBP79WEA2WW I have no gas flow to the oven. I replaced the glow bar ignitor and now that works but still no gas flow. I noticed the red on/off lever on the regulator has fallen off. Would this shut off the regulator? The stove burners work fine.
1 Answer Hello Allen. No, it sounds like the gas safety valve is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Keith January 25, 2014 for Model Number GE JGBP30WEA1WW The oven takes at least a 1/2 hour to get to 350 and some times never gets to 450. I took the oven bottom out to see the burner and turn on the oven and the burner will lite and then go out continuity. I get no steady burn on the burner at any time. Is it the gas regulator?
1 Answer Hello Keith. It sounds like either the regulator or the gas safety valve is failing on the unit. Make sure the orifice is clean on the unit. Read More...
David January 04, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore stove Model 362.72324 Top burners typically take 50-85 seconds to light. (For all burners at once or only one burner.) Ignitors work fine. Gas Co. came out today and said the gas pressure is fine and they think it's the stove's regulator. Turn the stove off and the burners will relight instantly but leave it off for 1/2 hour or so and expect about a 30-40 sec delay. Leave it overnight and get an 85 sec delay. Stove is about 12 years old in a mobile home (natural gas) and only gets used 2-3 months/year. Problem has been happening for at least 2 years. Repairman came out a week ago, cleaned up the burners and said "See, it's fixed" and left. But there was no change nor improvement after 1/2 hour.
2 Answers David, If the gas company came out and checked the pressure in water column inches and it checked ok then the issue would most likely be caused by the pressure regulator. Read More...

Richard November 23, 2013 for Model Number G E JGBP90MEA3BC My broiler will not ignite. No glowing of igniter, nothing happens. Thanks! My burners work great after I installed your natural gas orifices.
1 Answer Hello Richard. You need to test for power to the igniter and replace it if it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
