frigidaire gas stove safety valve price

These valves do not fail very often. Normally the problem is with the ignitor not drawing enough amperage to open the valve. Even if the ignitor is glowing orange it is likely still the cause of the burner not igniting. Technicians refer to this as a "weak" igniter.

Dual gas safety valve assembly. The gas oven safety valve works with the oven igniter to provide gas to the burner. If the safety valve fails, the oven won’t heat. Since safety valves rarely fail, be sure to check more commonly defective parts before replacing the safety valve.

The oven orifice holes for LP and NG are the *same*. However the inside shoulder of the LP orifice depresses the gas valve more than the NG, thus restricting the flow.

Most modern appliances have safety features built in, but your gas oven safety valve is arguably the most important. If an electrical appliance malfunctions, it can cause a fire, but a misfiring gas oven could potentially blow up your house. You don"t ​really​ need to know how the safety mechanism works to use your oven, but you may find that it gives you some extra peace of mind.

Broadly speaking, there are two ways a built-in safety mechanism can work. One option is that it remains "open" by default and to shut off if certain conditions are met. That"s how fuses and circuit breakers work in an electrical circuit: Ordinarily, the electricity is free to flow, but if the current grows too large, the fuse or breaker will blow and cut off the circulation of electricity.

The other option is for your safety mechanism to be "closed" by default and allow a device to operate only when the correct conditions are met. That"s how a gas oven safety valve works. Gas ordinarily is prevented from flowing, and if the valve is working correctly, it opens only when you want to light your oven.

Many gas stoves use what"s called a "hot surface igniter," a bar or element (similar to the ones on your stovetop) that gets hot enough to ignite the gas on contact. Gas oven safety valves on stoves with this type of ignition system take a couple of different approaches.

In one approach, a bimetallic strip operates the valve. It harnesses a simple scientific principle: Metals expand and contract at different rates when they"re heated and cooled. If you bond two suitable metals together in one strip, that strip will flex to a predictable degree as the temperature goes up and down. Wall-mount thermostats often use this principle, as do analog oven thermometers and the thermometer in the lid of your gas grill.

As appliance-repair website PartSelect explains, turning on your gas oven causes electricity to flow into the heating element of your hot surface igniter. As the igniter heats up, it warms a bimetallic strip inside your gas oven safety valve. When the igniter reaches its operating temperature, the bimetallic strip opens the valve and allows the gas to flow, igniting as it crosses the heated surface.

According to heating-equipment vendor Anglo Nordic, gas oven safety valves use a variation of that principle to operate. In these stoves, the flow of electrical current through the hot surface igniter becomes the control mechanism. The igniter"s bar is made of a material that offers less and less resistance to electricity as it heats. When it reaches the temperature required to ignite the gas, its resistance becomes low enough to trip the safety valve and open the flow of gas.

More modern ranges use an electrical igniter. When you turn on your oven, the gas begins flowing immediately, and it sends an electrical current to a piezo electric igniter. The current makes the igniter spark (like the manual igniter on your gas grill) and lights the oven"s burner. In this case, the safety valve works in the opposite way: An electronic sensor checks for the heat caused by ignition after a few seconds, and if it"s absent, it will close the valve and shut off the flow of gas.

It"s worth pointing out that not all gas ovens have a safety valve in the conventional sense. Older stoves simply use a pilot light, a small but constant flow of gas, which, in turn, feeds a small, candle-like flame. You essentially ​are​ the safety mechanism in this system: It"s up to you to check that the pilot is lit. When you turn on the gas manually, the small pilot flame ignites the main flame. It"s a mechanically simple system, which makes it durable, and for that reason, you"ll still see it used on commercial restaurant ranges, which must stand up to decades of heavy use.

Hello John, thank you for contacting us. That sounds like a bad igniter or a bad safety valve. The gas valve will only open based on the power draw from the igniter, so it may glow but the gas valve will not open to light it. If you are smelling gas then the valve may still be opening even though the igniter is not drawing enough power, or the igniter is also faulty and not able to ignite the gas. You may want to replace both parts. Hope this helps!

Hello Toby, Thank you for the question. With the information provided, this sounds like it could be a faulty Safety Valve and it should be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Will this fit my Frigidaire gas oven? The oven igniter draws about 3.5amps but the oven Flame is very small and it takes about 50 minutes to reach 350f. The broil igniter draws the same current and it has a large blue Flame. Could it only this half of the safety valve only that is defective?

No, but dual safety valve Part Number: PS977703 is in the list of compatible items for your model. Hope this helps. Please contact us anytime. This safety valve is a dual one so it should take care of your problem.

Hello Randall, thank you for your question. The orifices for liquid propane are different than the ones for natural gas. The Natural Gas to Liquid Propane Conversion Kit for your model is part number PS2351422. It contains all of the necessary orifices you will need. There are no parts involved with converting the Regulator, you just need to block it open. We have a video explaining this. Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GScQhrgC3g. I hope this helps and good luck with your repair!

Note that we are currently reevaluating all of our guides to ranges and our advice on buying them, including learning everything we can about induction stoves and cooktops. This is largely due to changing city and state regulations (video) on installing gas kitchen equipment and to the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which introduced the first federal consumer rebates on electric kitchen appliances. However, if you need to buy a new gas stove now, the picks below are all available. And they’re made by companies we trust, so we remain confident in recommending them.

The Frigidaire Gallery GCRG3060A has a build quality that feels almost as sturdy as that of the GE JGB735. Plus, the Gallery has a third oven rack. Like the GE JGB735, the Frigidaire Gallery has an air-fry setting and a number pad (so you can more easily control the oven). We don’t think the Gallery’s cooktop is as versatile, since its second-strongest burner isn’t all that strong, and it sits in the back row (though some may prefer this layout, to keep hot pots away from kids, for instance). But the Gallery is a good alternative to the GE JGB735, if that model is sold out.

If you just need an inexpensive stove that works, the Whirlpool WFG320M0B offers the best balance of features for a low price. It has one of the better cooktops in this price range, with a stronger power burner than those on most competitors and continuous cast-iron grates (especially uncommon at this price). The oven has a similar capacity to what you get in a pricier stove. But it doesn’t have convection, self-cleaning, or a number pad for control (the lack of these are typical with budget stoves). We found it to be well built, and it has a strong average user rating.
