Randy December 03, 2011 for Model Number JGBS23BEH4BB Gas Stove Burners work but the oven does not....it does not even come on when I turn the knob on.
1 Answer Randy, You can remove the racks and oven door, remove the oven bottom panel and flame spreader from the burner, and check the oven burner igniter WB13K21 for cracks and breaks, or loose wire connections.If you have access to a multimeter TJMA-DMT3 you can disconnect the wires at the igniter and check for 120 VAC from the thermostat to the igniter, to determine if the thermostat or wire is broken. Heres some meter usage info. should you need it [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html]. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Bucky October 11, 2011 for Model Number 36274221302 My igniter is not coming on, i replaced it, including my thermostat, i get power to the valve from the thermostast, and very little for the igniter, but dosen't glow ,also where does the igniter get power from ..do i need to replace the valve to get power..
1 Answer Bucky, You have it backwards, or something wired wrong. Power(120 VAC) is supplied to the igniter from the switch on the thermostat, The voltage goes into the igniter and comes out at a low voltage(3.2 to 3.6 VAC) and enters the terminal on the control valve and the voltage passing through the switch opens the valve and releases the gas. With a new thermostat and igniter, you will need to check the wires from the thermostat to the igniter, or you may have a bad igniter. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Joseph M September 11, 2011 for Model Number jgbs23wel3ww GE When the oven is turned on it continues heating. It has no temperature regulation.
1 Answer Joseph, The more likely issue is the oven thermostat WB20K8 it controls the temperature and flame at the valve. If you turn the therrmostat to off, and the oven burner flame shuts off, then its not likely the control valve. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
John C. August 21, 2011 for Model Number JGBS23WEA5WW Range burners work. Oven igniter glows great, however gas is not being supplied to burner tube. Burner is not igniting. Held flame to burner tube to make sure. Do I need to replace gas safety valve? Please advise. This is a favor to a low income relative.
1 Answer Hi John. The oven ignitor has to use a specific amt. of amperage to open the safety valve. This part # is WB13K21. It is to glow a 'white-hot' instead of orange. That is the usual part that opens (cracks) and breaks. The safety valve is part # WB19K10044. Thank you. Read More...
Mike July 17, 2011 for Model Number JGBS23BEL3BB Burner came on, but the flame was too small on hi and Lo settings, like none
1 Answer Mike, if it's only the one burner, remove the cap and look down inside the burner, check the brass colored orifice for a clog or debris blocking the gas flow. Then consider the burner valve, but we'll need to know which burner valve we need, there are 3 different valves and burners. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
