Customer Questions and Answers for Bake And Broil Valve (Gas Oven) by Whirlpool

This bake and broil valve controls gas flow to the oven's bake and broil burners so the oven heats when a temperature or function is selected. Replaces a failing valve to restore reliable oven heating. What it does:

• Directs gas to the bake and broil burners when the oven calls for heat
• Helps the oven reach and maintain set cooking temperatures
• Commonly replaced for no-heat, weak heat, or burner not igniting during bake/broil cycles
• Works as the primary safety/control valve for oven burner operation

• Turn off gas supply and power at the household shutoffs before servicing
• Minor disassembly of the oven front or manifold may be required; follow OEM service instructions
• Replace only with correct part number and check all gas line fittings for leaks after installation
