Liz November 22, 2014 This is now the second time in 6 months this part #Whirlpool W10293048 Gas Valve has quit working on me. I bought from amazon and they have refunded me but how do I know if I buy this part again that it won't quit working after a month. Would there be something else wrong. I ran the self clean yesterday and it worked fine, after the clean was done now the oven will not lite??
1 Answer Hello Liz. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Paul September 19, 2014 for Model Number SF362LXSB0 On my Whirlpool range when turned to bake I hear the solenoid go twice. When turned to broil I hear nothing from the solenoid. I get continuity on the bake side but none on the broil side. I need a new valve don't I?
1 Answer Paul, yes, sounds like you do need a gas valve/regulator. When you place your meter leads across the center terminal, and each outside terminal you should have a resistance of 216 ohms resistance on each test. With the wires attached to the terminals, you should have a DC Volt reading of 8 to 18 VDC from the DSI spark module, when the oven is attempting to ignite. Read More...
Richard August 07, 2014 for Model Number gs445lems1 I am working on a model gs445lems1 lp gas stove. The surface burners and broiler works fine but the bake burner only stays lit for a few seconds then goes out. I get the same ohm reading on both the broil to common and the bake to common. So I'm thinking it's not the gas valve. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Richard. Try cleaning the orifice and if the issue continues, you will need to order and replace the gas valve for the bake burner. Read More...
Lenny T August 02, 2014 for Model Number WFG361LVQ2 When you put it on bake then hit start it will take a few seconds for the ignitor to start clicking then the flames will last for about four seconds or so then the flames will go out. It never gets up to temperature. It is whirlpool natural gas range.
1 Answer Lenny, You will want to test the oven safety valve for resistance. The resistance value should be 216 ohms from bake to common and broil to common. If not then the valve is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Eric July 03, 2014 for Model Number SF262LXSB0 I have a Whirlpool Gas range SF262LXSB0 top burners lite oven section will not! Neither the bake or the broil spark igniter would spark. So I replace the spark module after that both would spark but still the oven would not light, after a couple tries both spark igniter's stop working again. I then with further inspection discovered by testing the solenoids on the shut off valve I get 199 ohms across one and nothing across the other, so there's my problem!! My question is why did the igniters stop sparking again is it because of the failed solenoid ? did or can it ruin my new spark module ??
1 Answer Eric, In most cases the reason the igniters stop sparking is due to the solenoid being faulty if the spark module is good. Read More...
Joe M April 30, 2014 for Model Number SF362LXTQ2 My LP gas Whirlpool oven and broiler won't light. The top surface burners light fine.
1 Answer Joe, You will want to check to see if the igniters are sparking but not lighting then you will want to check the resistance of the coils on the safety valve. From either of the outer terminals to the center terminal there should be 216 ohms of resistance and if not then the valve is faulty. Read More...
Matt March 04, 2014 for Model Number GS773LXSS My gas oven range is not heating up. The burners work fine, but when I try to turn on the oven, I hear one click, but not the pop and hiss of the igniter and gas flowing. I was originally told that it was the spark module board, which we replaced, and it turned out that was not the problem. We are now told that it is the gas safety valve. How likely is it that this is the correct diagnosis, as we are already spent a couple hundred on the spark module board and really can't afford to put much more into this repair.
1 Answer Matt, The way to determine whether the gas safety valve WPW10293048 is faulty would be to do a resistance check ok the coils. If you pull the unit out and unplug it. Remove the wires from the safety valve making sure you mark which goes where. Do a resistance check from bake to common and from broil to common. The common is the center terminal. The resistance value should be 216 ohms across each connection. If not then the safety valve is faulty and needs to be replaced. Read More...
Brian February 23, 2014 for Model Number gs440lemq2 My Whirlpool oven and broiler will not light. When I try to bake I hear the valve click twice but there is no spark. When I try to broil nothing happens, the cooktop burners do ignite. The gas valve has 250 ohms across the bake solenoid but very high ohms across the broil solenoid. I'm pretty sure my gas valve is bad. Will this cause the spark module to not spark bake and broil or do I have a bad spark module as well?
1 Answer Hello Brian, If the spark module is getting 120Vac to terminals J1-6 when set to bake and J1-7 when set to broil, the module has failed. If the voltage is not getting there, check for the 120Vac at terminals P2-4 with the unit set to bake, (on the control board), and P2-1 with the unit set to broil. If no voltage there, replace the control WP8524251. If voltage is getting to the spark module, the spark module WPW10331686 will be at fault. Read More...
John January 19, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool Model No. GS563LXST0 I was told that my gas oven needs a new regulator. Is the regulator the same as the gas valve (part no. 15) in your diagram? There isn't a regulator shown in the diagram.
1 Answer Hello John, Number 15 is the regulator WPW10293048 and also acts as the gas valve on this unit. Read More...
Scott January 01, 2014 for Model Number SF357PEKQ0 When I open my oven door partially, I smell gas towards the top opening. I removed the oven door, baffle burner plate, and oven flame spreader. I smelled around it and the smell seems to trace back to the oven bake burner, which I removed. This leads me to think that the gas valve (Part Number AP5306380) is leaking gas since this is what supplies the oven bake burner. 1st Question: Is it okay to apply a small amount of dishwashing liquid to the tube tip that points to the sky to see if it leaks, or will this create more problems? 2nd question: Is the gas valve (Part Number AP5306380) a common source for the gas leak symptom that I described?
1 Answer Hello Scott. There is a gas leak detector that most gas companies recommends you use for gas. However, based on the information you provided it does sound like the gas valve is the issue. Although not, common, if a unit does leak into the oven, it is usually the gas valve causing the leak. Thanks. Read More...
