Whirlpool 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Gas Range - White-on-White Logo
Posted on Oct 05, 2008

Sf195lehz5 free standing gas oven,

The oven/broiler works sometimes preheat comes on as it should but no heat,
top burners no problems, cold start oven/broiler works fine, during cycling on/off heat stops comming on after 1 hour or so.
I'm thinking main valve solenode?
Thanks Bruce

    Cook top works fine, oven has a mind of its own. Sometimes when I put the oven on over 425 degrees I don't have a problem.

    Same problem, igniters both work fine (broiler and bake), tested both temp sensors and both appear to work fine (1025+ ohms and rise steadily during heat up). No problem with gas valve. Problem occurs intermittently but happens more often when on broil. The gas will start and ignite on the broiler, gas flow works fine, then the relay clicks on the control board and the gas shuts off, oven display still indicates broil. Same problem happens during bake but less frequently, so my problem seems to point to the control board. I'll post again when I determine which component is failing on the control board (I'm too stubborn to pay $200 for a new one)

This oven has only one gas valve, that supplys the top burners that i never had a problem with.
The bottom oven burner with it's own ignitor, and the top broiler with it's own ignitor. so i can't see replacing both ignitors.Don't think both ignitor could stop working at the same time then work the next time we use the oven/broiler again with their own ignitor. I'll ohm out the temp sensor. but I never saw one work most of the time then stop working. And then start working again. any other pointers.
Thank B.K.

Check both gas valve solonoids for 216 ohms [blue broiler wire to the orange common and red oven wire to orange common] both must be ok.

Check oven temp sensor for 1080 ohms.

If above are ok then the problem is either the spark module or the control board.

Since the gas valve was not opening and there was not ignitor sound I replaced the spark module for about $90. You have a 50-50 chance of being right.

My range is relitively new and I'm haveing an oven light problem which I traced to the control board so I may replaced this board to for about $200.

Oven takes forever to preheat. Only the bottom oven element comes on during preheat.

Try checking the heating elements on the top might have come loose

Maytag gas oven takes a long time heat and smells of gas.

Important---if you smell gas--I'd be very very careful---could be your control valve or lines to it are malfunctioning or leaking. You might have to call in an expert repair person. How old is the oven? Some preliminary checks you might make are: Do you have a pilot lite or preheaters on the unit? If a pilot lite, make sure it is lit. An unlit pilot lite could sometimes give the smell of gas if malfunctioning. If so, there is is a procedure for lighting the pilot lite--check your user or installation manual. If you have pre-heaters make sure they are lighting up. Normally you have one for the top broiler burner, and one for the bottom oven burner. Check your preheater(s) by selecting either broiler or oven and visually checking to see if they are warming up. After 15 seconds or so, they should be turning bright red. You will see some light coming from them. Check one pre-burner at a time. If they do not come on quickly, shut off the associated valve. Again, be very, very careful with any buildup of gas. It could cause an explosion. At the least it could make you sick.

Frigidaire oven will not light

The control panel behind the knobs is the most likely problem.

The heating element rarely fails.

Oven appears to start, takes forever to preheat,

This is what I would do: I would unplug the range and connect my test cord to your range cord. I use an ammeter along with my test cord to read the amp draw of the bake ignitor. If it cannot get above 3.5 amps I know the ignitor is bad or weak. Since the oven is working that means there is a good circuit. In order for the safety bi-metal to open the amp draw must reach 3.5 amps or better. So to me I am thinking bad ignitor. To get to it I remove the door oven racks and bottom, I then remove the flame spreader and unplug the quick connect to the ignitor. I remove the burner and ignitor and replace the ignitor on a work bench. I am too old to be bending over and trying to do any parts replacement inside an oven. LOL. I have a training film which shows how the silicone carbide ignitor works HERE. Post a model number and I may have a service manual, do not forget to rate the answer.

Whirlpool Accubake Super Capacity 465 gas range. Oven won't light

Some gas ranges may take 10 or so minutes to light.
Other than that you may have a defective glow bar ignitor.
If it glows and does not light the reistance in the ignitior has failed.

Ge gas oven will not heat but burners work

You will need to check the bake and broil igniters and/or the temperature sensor. A multi-meter should come in handy to verify if these components are good or bad.
