    Watching your video, brand new gas range stopped oven and broiler from heating.
    Testing everything.Ran across your video ,bled gas line at gas safety valve.
    And giddi up, everything started to work.
    I think that it was a airlock in the main gas valve.
    Thanks for showing, what you did. 👍👍

    You're absolutely right Chris, no one but you have ever mentioned that little button/switch to check! Also, what a great idea
    to check the gas flow before the igniter to eliminate both the igniter and the gas valve for possible blockage. No gas going
    in, certainly nothing coming out! You gave me the encouragement needed to do those steps now! Great job, bro

    Hey Chris I want to thank you for your video, I’m an ex appliance tech, and you are so right about this, more than once I saw this issue with the gas off which it is actually a gas regulator, but when I saw it off, I explained it to the customer and leaving just charging the customer a house call with no labor charge, thanks again for the video, and good luck with your business, have a good day.😀

    I replaced my glow bars a few years ago because oven wasn't holding temperature. Today, it wouldn't light at all. This was my exact problem. Oven works now. I have no idea how the lever flipped. I just used it last night. I didn't move anything.
    Thank you for saving me hours. And I was ready to go to Lowe's and buy a new oven!

Spent the next hour with the multimeter testing everything (While in the back of my head had a suspicion about that lil valve)....Spent the next 20 min scrolling online until I found your vid. BOOM all fixed! Thank you thank you! I've always worked on everything myself and can't tell you HOW many times simple, stupid, NO it can't be that easy, things like this that just plain get drown out online by a million vids doing the same thing by different people acting like there the only vid and only person who knows something while obviously not themselves googling it and seeing already a hundred posted vids before posting another.

Turns out the generator was over-loaded and not putting out high enough voltage. When I turned everything off except the stove, it worked fine.

  • @parkerholden7140
    @parkerholden7140 Рік тому +6

    Excellent analysis. I would like to add a little. The ignitor and safety gas valve are in series. Electrically the sizing of these, as a pair is critical in that the ignitor must be hot enough to ignite the gas and and the heating of the safety valve must be enough to open and hold open the valve. In other words a matched pair. If there is a mismatch you will have no ignition or no gas. Some manufactures have a poor match, This is more likely a problem if a UNIVERSAL ignitor is used as the resistance of the ignitor can be unpredictable.

      I'm thinking he doesn't understand why it tripped in the first place since he didn't know it even existed. I'm having the same problem and I definitely hesitate to override the safety feature, especially if it keeps tripping, you're messing with gas supply and an open flame.

    So I have a Samsung that usually goes from cold to hot (0-400°F) in 12 minutes. Now it just stays at 175°F and doesn’t move. Is it the igniter maybe there’s a safety switch with the new or Samsung’s work? It won’t allow gas to the oven as a safety measure in the igniter? It’s a newer Samsung gas oven with the blue digital display

    I replace those safety valves rather often actually. Robert Shaw has a monopoly on them so no incentive to make them more robust.
    The igniter should read ~50-100 Ω when cold. It's resistance increases with heat, self limiting the current as it operates. Only when it's already glowing cherry hot would I expect a 300+ Ω reading. If igniter can't draw enough current then safety valve may either fail to open or shut off gas again even if flame had already been lit.

      @@chriscraft2 but I hit it three times in succession. There was two Sparks on the first two and then no spark on the third one. I'm pretty sure this video has helped me. Now all I need is to spend $115 to prove it. Actually found one for $93. But that was online and I'm unsure of making that order. Ty. That is, for a writing me back. The wife asked me, did that guy write you back? I was like, "Probably not. No telling how old the video is. I didn't check." So now I checked and here you are. Thank you thank you thank you.
