Dfhalstead October 16, 2014 for Model Number JGS968SEK2SS When I program in the temp. for the oven it takes forever (2 minutes or more to lite) then when it finally ignites it never gets to the temp set. It act as if it isn't getting enough fuel. The broiler works good, also the stovetop burners work good. It's just the baking on convection oven and standard oven both.A couple of times the oven has made a loud noise when it ignited like a small explosion.The ignitor seems to be working. What other problem could it be?
1 Answer DF, The most likely issue is a weak bake burner igniter WB13T10045 . The igniter needs to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps to open the safety valve properly. If the amperage draw is low, it can cause a delayed ignition and produce a "small explosion", it will also cause erratic temperatures in the oven as you described. Read More...
Jim D July 26, 2014 for Model Number JGSP48SH1SS Oven or broiler will ignite and both glow bars seem to be glowing yellow-orange, could this be the gas safety valve or something else ?
1 Answer Jim, Test for 3.2-3.6 vac 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...
Jim D. July 26, 2014 for Model Number JGSP48SH1SS Cooktop works fine but the oven and broiler will not ignite. Both glow bars seem to be glowing to a yellow-orange color.
1 Answer Hello Jim, If both ignitors are pulling from 3.2 to 3.6 amps of current, the gas valve WB21T10014 is the next suspect as long as the gas supply has been verified. Read More...
Chris May 12, 2014 For a Part number NC-4175-5 or Y-30148-23 gas safety valve there are two pins on the top and two on the bottom which is the input? I have 120vac going to the bottom 2 pins, not sure if the safety valve is bad, the igniter is new but won't glow I am measuring around 40vac from one pin to ground igniter side, it appears to be not enough voltage measured the current could not measure anything igniter side that is. I have pictures of the ohms, and voltage I measured on the safety valve, don't know how I can attach, if it would be helpful.
1 Answer Chris, To properly assist you we will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Tony April 23, 2014 for Model Number jgsp28bek5bb i have a 115v to ground on one leg of the glow bar for the oven but i do not have the neutral the neutral comes from the gas saftey valve does this mean the gas saftey valve is shot. My broiler and stove top works fine.
1 Answer Tony, Remove power from the range and disconnect the wires from the bake portion of the safety valve WB21T10014. use a meter and check for a "closed" circuit across the two terminals, to be sure. If the broil burner works "My broiler and stove top works fine.", it's not likely to be a broken or loose wire connection, but should be checked out, also. Read More...
Kurt January 13, 2014 for Model Number Pgs975seam Where is the wb21t10014 gas valve located in the ge profile oven?
1 Answer Kurt, To access the control valve you will need to pull the unit out and the valve is located on the back of the unit. Read More...
Doc May 11, 2013 for Model Number JGSP28BEK4BB Recently, I moved back into a home that I had rented for almost two years. One thing I found was, the oven would have a gas smell when operating. Eventually, the oven would not maintain temp...the flame wouldn't reduce after reaching temp setting and I could smell a faint odor of gas. I have now started troubleshooting and upon turning on the gas supply valve (I had it turned off for safety as I didn't have the time to investigate at that time), I can hear the gas inside the stove hissing when nothing (except the supply valve)has been turned on...the oven was even unplugged. I shut off the gas, again, and removed the valve from the back of the oven... Part# Y-30148-23 (or NC-4175-5) looking to replace it as this is the only solution my limited experience in appliances can deduce. I guess I'm wanting to confirm this as the problem/solution before I order parts as I'm not an appliance repairman...just a well-rounded, mechanically inclined humble carpenter.
1 Answer Doc, Yes the WB21T10014,internal valve can "stick" and leak gas from the valve. It doesn't happen very often, But if you're sure all the brass fittings are tight and not leaking, (test with soapy water solution) and also check the regulator connections WB19T10073 then replace the valve Read More...
Chris January 24, 2013 for Model Number GE jgs968-soh2ss The broiler on this range will not operate on high. I replaced the igniter and the broiler lights fine but will only produce a low flame even when the button for high is activated.
1 Answer Hello Chris, You will want to check the burner to make sure that the burner does not have any clogging. If the burner checks ok then it may be necessary to replace the oven safety valve WB21T10014. Read More...
Margaret I December 10, 2012 for Model Number jGSP48bOH3bb My oven does not maintain the temperature. I do not know if its the thermostate or ingnitor and where is the thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Margaret, You would want to check the resistance of the oven sensor. The sensor should have a resistance of 1100 ohms at room temperature. If it is outside of this by plus or minus 50 ohms. If outside this range then the tempature sensor WB21X22134 would 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...
Roy Md November 26, 2012 for Model Number pgs968sem1ss My GE gas range comes up to temp fine then starts to re-ignite causing mini blasts inside the oven. GE replaced the ignitor but the oven still keeps re-igniting while in use.I am scared the oven could blow. It gets hot fine then smells like gas and has mini blasts especially when you open the door. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Roy, Before you replace anything, do you have the same issue when the broil burner is used ? We wouldn't expect the new igniter to have an issue, but a loose connection in the wiring, or a dirty or defective bake burner WB16T10022 The flame on the burner, in the area of the igniter must be large or long enough to heat the igniter enough to maintain the resistance in the circuit to keep the oven safety valve open and maintain the flame.
