Whirlpool KR-28 manual Bake & Broil Solenoid- Activated Ports, neither one will operate

BAKE & BROIL SOLENOID- ACTIVATED PORTS

The bake and broil gas supply ports are opened and closed by electrically-operated solenoids. When voltage is received from the spark ignition control for the bake or broil function, (8-18 VDC), the solenoid for that function is activated, and the valve opens to allow gas

flow to the burner. The electrical connections at the valve consist of three terminals, each one sized differently to prevent incorrect wir- ing (see below).

The solenoids require special voltage/current (8 - 18 VDC) from the direct spark ignition con- trol to operate properly. IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate the solenoids with any other voltage supply.
