Eric April 20, 2025 for Model Number JGBS22BEH4WH Hi. I was changing the oven igniter, and after I was finished, I wanted to make sure I didn't end up loosening either of the plugs that go on the control valve when I was pulling the connector for the igniter out. The insulation on the plugs were very brittle. As soon as I started to press down on one, the insulation cracked, and some of it fell off at the top. I am wondering what I should do at this point. I didn't see a part for the wires, and I'm not sure where they go. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Eric, thank you for contacting AppliancePartsPros.com The manufacturer does not list the harness as a serviceable component, you may try re-terminating those wires with new spade connectors if the wiring itself isn't damaged beyond use, the placement of those wires on the terminals of the control valve aren't side-specific.

Stumped November 20, 2022 for Model Number JGBS23WEL3WW Replaced igniter and oven worked for two days. On the third day it would not lite. Checked igniter and it would not glow. Could it possibly be the safety valve?
1 Answer Stumped, with the gas supply turned off, the ignitor WB13K21 can be tested for 120VAC using a multimeter during a cooking cycle. If there is not 120VAC when testing from wire to wire, the voltage can be tested from the wire going to the safety valve to the metal chassis. If there is voltage when testing from wire to chassis, but not wire to wire, the valve assembly WB19K10044 would need to be replaced. If there was no voltage at all, the thermostat WB20K8 would be the cause of failure. Read More...
1 Answer Joe, while the valve WB19K10044 does not indicate if it is an Eaton 4100 Series Automatic Valve, it is recommended by the appliance manufacturer for use with the model provided. Read More...
Jose August 19, 2020 for Model Number 36272224201 .Hello, my Kenmore gas range model 362 72224201 with electric ignition when I turn on the oven, the resistance turns on and it turns red, it takes a little while to light the flame, and when you light it, it comes out very weak, as if it lacks more pressure to the gas, or little gas comes out of the pilot and for that reason, it takes a long time to make the cakes or oven foods, the flame if it comes out blue, but it fans very little fire. the 4 burners above, if they are pulling me perfectly. That fails just started 2 weeks ago. I would appreciate some tips, I have been with her for about 10 years. Thank you
1 Answer Jose' Is the range attached to a Natural Gas or LP Gas connection? If LP gas, low pressure, or moisture in the tank or lines could create the issue as you described it. But, It's most likely a weak oven igniter WB13K21/WB13K21 Range oven burner igniter, you'll want to check for 3.2 to 3.6 amps when the igniter is glowing or 3.2 to 3.6 VAC to the safety valve terminals. A weak igniter can also create the issues you described and is more likely to be the problem. Read More...
Jim February 08, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore 362.74222302 Either the regulator or the oven valve has a slight leak. It takes about 20 minutes with the supply valve on before you can smell it. I got a gas detector and was able to tell it’s coming from inside the oven. My question is, I noticed a lever operated plunger on the regulator lined up with the outlet for the oven valve. What is that lever for? I was in the raised position when I first noticed y.
1 Answer Jim, the lever on the side of the regulator is a service-related lever, when it is in the "down" position it shuts off the gas supply to the oven safety valve, so you can service the gas valve, burner, etc. without having to move the range out to turn off the gas supply. When the lever is down, the word "off" or "closed will be visible. When the lever is in the up position, the word "open" or "on" will be visible. Just remember to reset the lever once you're done and then check for gas leaks. thanks, Read More...
Brandt November 11, 2019 for Model Number rgb533weh3ww My wife advised that the Hotpoint LP gas oven was not heating up adequately to bake and was taking at least 4 times as long to do so as normal. The igniter glows bright white/orange. The oven burner does receive gas and ignites, but the oven thermostat would not change the temperature/flame size nor would the broiler function work as it should. I replaced the oven thermostat, but that did not make a difference. The range top burners work as they should. What else could be the issue here that would resolve this problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Brandt, If the thermostat has been replaced, the next thing to suspect is the gas valve. This is, of course, if the gas pressure to the unit has been verified to be in tolerance. Read More...
Alex Price June 24, 2019 for Model Number JGB700 Hi, I am having trouble with my bake and broil burners on my oven. I am not getting gas to my burners properly. I have replaced the igniter thinking it was the problem. The oven igniter works properly and pulls the require 3.6 Amps needed to open the gas safety valve, however gas doesn't flow through the burner. The oven will work properly ONLY when a stove top burner is on and running. If I have the oven on bake and the igniter is glowing after about 45s to a minute I can turn the stove top on and gas enters the burner on the oven. Basically the only way I am getting gas to the oven burner is when the stove top is on. I am thinking I may have a faulty gas safety valve, but I would like another opinion.
1 Answer Alex, Based on this information it does sound likely that the oven safety valve would be the issue with the oven not working properly. Read More...
Joe March 17, 2019 for Model Number JGBS23WEH1WW New igniter still not glowing. 65 ohms on igniter, safety valve is 8 ohm. Any advice?
1 Answer Joe, you may want to check to ensure that the oven thermostat control switch [WB20K8] is sending 120VAC to the ignitor which can be verified by testing the yellow wire of the thermostat when it is turned on. If it is sending 120VAC to the ignitor, then you may want to check to ensure the ignitor is receiving the voltage. If it does not, then you have a wiring issue and would want to trace where the break in the wire is. Read More...
Angey January 02, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore gas oven range 362.75980891 My oven burner turns on but the flames are pulsating and there's a humming and clicking sound. The igniter glows fine. Is it the gas valve or pressure regulator that needs to be replaced? Also, is there a way to test for it? Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Angey, find the gas safety valve, check for 3.2-3.6 VAC with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve, if the voltage is not there, replace the oven igniter. Read More...
John Thompson April 16, 2018 for Model Number JGBS22WEK1WW Installed this in my oven and now the flame for the oven burner is supper high and causing soot inside of the oven. Have tried adjusting but always end up with same result.
1 Answer John, If you are running on LP gas then tighten the orifice to snug and open the air shutter all the way and this should correct the issue. Read More...
