This bimetal gas control valve regulates gas flow to the oven burner as part of the ignition circuit, helping ensure safe light-off and steady, reliable heat so your range reaches and maintains the set temperature.
- Regulates gas to the burner in response to the igniter/thermostat signal
- Bimetal safety design keeps gas closed until proper ignition heat is present
- Helps maintain consistent heating once the burner is lit
- Can address cases where the igniter glows but the burner won't light
- Resolve ovens that heat intermittently or take unusually long to preheat
What's included: 1 bimetal gas control valve. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing.
- Note valve orientation; transfer any required fittings/orifices from the original.
- Use approved gas-rated thread sealant on NPT threads only; never on flare connections.
- After installation, leak-test all joints and verify proper ignition and burner operation.
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
Oven gas valve was shot on our Viking. Only lighting one oven burner. Richard E. • Vernal , UT • March 12, 2014
I knew it was the oven gas valve, because I replaced both igniters with fresh ones and only one igniter would glow. So I ordered up a new gas valve, it shipped quickly and arrived on time. It only took me a few minutes to remove the old one and install the new one. This made all of the bakers in the house happy again. Thanks much for the prompt shipping and getting me the right parts!
