Scott E February 01, 2016 for Model Number KGSS907SSS00 Hi My Kitchenaid oven does not light. When I turn on the oven cycle, I get two clicks, the preheat electrical coil (Halo?) heats up, but no gas ignition. I have replaced both ignitors with new parts, but, alas the problem persists. Stove top is working just fine. The problem happened suddenly- no problems up to this point. The oven is about 8 years old. Can you recommend next steps? I thought the old ignitors looked good when I took them out, so I was suspicious that I did not diagnose the problem correctly. Thanks for any help!!
1 Answer Hello Scott. You model does not use a glow ignitor. Check to see if the ignitor is sparking. If not, then the spark module would need to be replaced. If there is a spark, you will need to test the gas valve on the unit. 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...
Al November 17, 2015 for Model Number KGSA906BPL02 The flame on all of my top burners as well as the oven and broiler all turned from blue flame to orange overnight. I checked all the gas lines for restrictions and found none. Is this a regulator problem?
1 Answer Hello Al. Yes, if you didn't replace anything, you will need to replace the regulator on the unit. Read More...
Todd November 08, 2015 for Model Number KGRS807SSS00 Oven lights but won't light after it gets to temp it has a new igniter and new valve.
1 Answer Hello Todd. It sounds like the control board is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Make sure the wiring is good also. Read More...
Brian H November 01, 2015 for Model Number KGRK806PSS00 My oven takes forever to come up to temperature. I see the broiler come on and hear a couple click like the solenoid operating. Can you tell me what part# with pic I need?
1 Answer Brian, There is a probe in the oven in the upper left corner. You will want to check this probe to make sure that it shows a resistance at room temperature of 1090 ohms. If this checks ok then you will want to check the wiring between the control board and the oven sensor. If the wiring is ok then the issue will most likely be caused by a faulty control board or a bad oven safety valve. Read More...
Jack October 19, 2015 for Model Number KGSS907SSS02 Kitchen Aid Stove My oven and broiler will not ignite. The igniter does not spark nor is there any gas flow. The electric coil that goes around the broiler burner gets hot but that is it. When I check the ohms between wires at the gas valve I get 204(orange to red),204( orange to blue) and 405(red to blue) is this correct? I have noticed that in past questions that number should be around 215 but is that on all or just a few?
1 Answer Jack, The resistance for the gas valve should be 216 ohms of resistance and it sounds like this would be the issue with the unit not heating. Read More...
Shawn August 30, 2015 for Model Number GW395LEPS03 My oven quit igniting a few months ago. Initially I thought it was the ignitors, so I replaced them. Problem persisted. I eventually replaced the control board. Oven still will not ignite. However, the new control board that I installed had a diagnose feature that will supposedly tell you what is wrong with your appliance. The light on it indicates that the valve is the problem. I have removed the valve and attempted to test it, but it is different from any valve that I can find videos on, so I am not sure that I am testing it correctly. Also, originally I was able to hear the ignitors attempting to ignite when the problem first started, now I hear nothing when I try to start it. Stove top burners have functioned properly the whole time. Is there anything else that could be the problem besides the valve?
1 Answer Hello Shawn. You have to ohm out the valve in the unit. The specs are 216 ohms for the valve. Read More...
Tom D August 14, 2015 for Model Number KGSS907SSS03 Kitchenaid oven bake problem. Won't heat, flame come on, goes out right away. Replaced oven temp sensor, burner, and ignitor, no change. Gas valve reads 202 ohms both sided. Specs say 316 ohms, but is 202 to low? Broil works at 202 ohms. Befuddled.
1 Answer Hello Tom. The specs are 216 ohms, so the valve is good for ohms. If the flame is going out, the regulator in the valve may be bad and the valve will need to be replaced for that. Read More...
Jeff March 25, 2015 for Model Number KGRS807SBL00 Is the gas valve also the safety valve on this model? We have tried to replace the gas valve, the burner, the ignitor, and the 2 electronic boards. Nothing has worked. Our oven will ignite and preheat but then will not maintain temperature. It is as if it is always asking for gas and trying to ignite after the oven has been preheated. What could be the problem and what part would I need? The cook top works perfectly. We are thinking it is some sort of safety feature that is malfunctioning.
1 Answer Hello Jeff, The gas valve and the oven valve are one and the same on this unit. I would look at the temperature sensor WPW10131825 since it is responsible for telling the control what temperature the bake compartment is running. It should read about 1100 ohms at about 70°F. Read More...
Jeff March 24, 2015 Is the gas valve also the safety valve? We have tried to replace this part, the burner, the ignitor, and 2 electric boards. Nothing has worked and our oven will still not heat up. If you open the door slightly, it will ignite but will not maintain temperature. What could be the problem and what part would I need? The cook top works perfectly.
1 Answer Jeff, 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...
Kimbrough M. February 07, 2015 for Model Number kgsa906pss00 I have a Kitchenaid gas oven kgsa906pss00 that I bought used. It was set up for natural gas and I purchased the conversion kit from you and installed it. The top burners work beautifully. When I start the oven, the flames come on for about 10 seconds and shut off. No matter how long it sits it won't try to light again. If I kill power to it for about 30 seconds and try it again, the flames come on for about 5-10 seconds and then shut off. It lights very quickly, but won't stay lit. I did flip the cap on the pressure regulator to the LP position. The flames look really good in the oven for the few seconds it is lit...there is a lot of flame in that it comes out from under the bottom pan by about 4 inches. The broiler does the same thing...full good looking flames. they do run off the spreader pan by an inch or so. I did run across a reference to something called a " spill switch" on another oven brand when I was searching online for some suggestions. Does this oven have something like that? If there is too much flame, how do I reduce that?
1 Answer Hello Kimbrough, This sounds like an issue with the gas valve WP9763716, the spark module WPW10331686, and/or the burner 8191123. There is an air adjustment, (shutter), on the base of the burner which is used to fine tune the flame. Read More...
