Luft September 23, 2020 for Model Number PGS968SEMSS The burner flames seem weaker than they used to be. I was wondering if this range has a pressure regulator, which is listed on generic articles as a possible reason for weaker burners. I don't see pressure regulator listed as a part here? Any other likely reasons that the flames would be weaker than before? This unit is from 2008.
1 Answer Hello Luft, the pressure regulator is WB19T10073. You can check that any inline gas shutoff valves are wide open. Gas pressure is checked using a manometer, however it may be easier to contact your gas supplier for a gas pressure test. Read More...
Macdafoe November 21, 2018 for Model Number pgs908sem1ss Hello, GE profile gas oven (PGS908SEM1SS) slow to heat. Replaced the following: - Oven burner assembly - Oven igniter - Oven temperature sensor. Symptoms are: Oven takes 45 mins to preheat to 350. Fails to maintain constant baking temperature. Occasional odor of gas during oven preheat. Stove top burners and broiler seem to be working fine. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
1 Answer Macdafoe, This issue sounds likely that it would be an oven safety valve that is not operating properly. You would want to test the wires between the sensor and the board but the valve is the most likely culprit. Read More...
Kathy December 08, 2017 for Model Number JGSP4880114BB 2005 GE range. When the oven was preheating there is a really bad peppery exhaust type of odor. When I opened the oven door a flash flame came out. Luckily I only got scenged a little. On a prior occasion, I noticed a blue flame spreaded across the top of the oven that quickly burned out. Burners work ok and I don't smell any leaking propane when everything is turned off. What do you think it is? I hope it can be fixed rather than buying a new stove.
1 Answer Kathy, This issue will most likely be caused by a faulty oven control valve WB21T10014. Read More...

Conrad December 22, 2016 for Model Number Kemore oven 3528812 Gas safety valve. The ignitor will not glow to allow the gas valve to open. Power good to both glow plug and valve. Glow plug is new. Could the gas valve be bad on oven side? Broiler side works. Could the wires need replacing? And can the valve be cross-referenced due to unavailability.
1 Answer Hello Conrad. If you have voltage to the ignitor and it does not glow, then the ignitor is cracked and is bad. 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...
Fred May 05, 2016 for Model Number DCS 6 burner range RGS-366SS I installed all new piping and put a gauge on to check for leaks. I thought I had turned off all the Valves but I forgot the one for the range. I pumped in the air pressure in the new piping and no problem with 20 lbs of pressure. I was told that i need to increase the pressure to really make sure it will not leak, now with the gas range valve being in the open position, I think I may have destroyed the valve. As I increased the air pressure it got up to about 40 lbs. and then all of a sudden the pressure dropped and I heard the air leaking from the range. I figured to much air pressure in the safety valve. With the valve on the range closed it holds air pressure but as I open the valve is leaks out very slowly. I think its the valve What do you think ?
1 Answer Fred, You also want to check the regulator [210663]. With that much pressure, they usually "lock up" and won't operate. On the other hand you may have damaged both, the regulator and the safety valve [210782] under the circumstances, you should seriously consider replacing both parts, just to be Safe. Read More...
D. November 17, 2015 for Model Number JGB285DET2WW Bake oven has strong odor just prior to ignition, can usually notice odor down the hall from kitchen when oven has been turned on. After lit generally no odor, although can hear ignition periods during cooking time. No propane smell when not in use. Thanks for your response.
1 Answer Hello D. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the ignitor WB13K21. Read More...
Miguel October 25, 2015 for Model Number JGS968SEK39S Oven does not work - Convection and regular oven - Broiler works. Glow bars ? there is a glow bar above oven. I can see when broiler is ON. Where is the other glow bar? I am trying to trouble shoot the reason why oven does not go on.
Bryan April 20, 2015 for Model Number jgsp48woh4ww GE Profile gas stove - the burners and he broiler light up just fine - but the stove burner will not ignite. The igniter does not come on but I believe it's brand new and there is continuity. Is more likely the control valve or the control unit? The valve is a dual valve and broiler side seems to work just fine. Suggestions? Please and thank you.
1 Answer Bryan, If the igniter is good but will not glow then it would be more likely that the Oven control would be the issue with the unit not operating. Read More...
Philip December 12, 2014 for Model Number JGSP48WH4WW The top burners and broiler work fine but the oven emits gas odor Sears changed the igniter last January & I tried another igniter but it did not solve the problem can it only be the Saftey valve or something else?
1 Answer Hello Philip. If you are smelling gas, without the unit being on, you will need to replace the gas valve. If the igniter does not turn on, then you need to replace the control board. Read More...
