2.Bake burner operates, but the broil burner will not come on.
a)Place the oven in the BROIL mode, set the oven thermostat to 350˚, and observe the broil igniter. If the igniter glows, go to step c. If the igniter does not glow, go to step b.
b)Disconnect power from the range, re- move the wires from the broil side of the gas safety valve, and connect an ohmmeter across the terminals of the
safety valve. If the meter reads ap- proximately 1 Ω, the problem is in another component of the broil circuit. If the meter reads infinity, replace the gas safety valve.
c)Connect an ampmeter to the broil cir- cuit. If the meter reads less than 3.2 amps, replace the broil igniter. If the meter reads over 3.2 amps, replace the gas safety valve.
3.The bake and broil burners will not oper- ate.
a)Place the oven in the BAKE mode, set the oven thermostat to 350˚, and ob- serve the bake igniter. Place the oven in the BROIL mode, and observe the broil ignitor.

b)Disconnect power from the range and remove the wires from both sides of the gas safety valve. Check each side
of the valve with an ohmmeter. If the meter reads approximately 1 Ω on each side of the gas safety valve, the prob- lem is in another component. If the meter reads infinity on either side of the valve, replace the valve.
4.Bake burner will not turn off.
a)Observe the bake igniter. If the igniter is glowing, check the selector switch, the thermostat, and the electrical po- larity of AC receptacle for the power cord. If the igniter is not glowing, re- place the gas safety valve.
5.Broil burner will not turn off.
a)Observe the broil igniter. If the igniter is glowing, check the selector switch, the thermostat, and the electrical po- larity of AC receptacle for the power cord. If the igniter is not glowing, re- place the gas safety valve.
