TESTING A GAS SAFETY VALVE

Some gas ranges use an electrically-controlled gas safety valve to control the flow of gas to the
oven burner. The electric safety valve controls the gas flow by means of a bimetal-controlled
diaphragm. Self-clean models have a single inlet, dual outlet, bimetal-operated safety valve. To
prevent miswiring, the bake and broil terminals are sized differently. Several typical safety valves
are shown in Figures 6-9 through 6-11. To test a gas safety valve:

1.

Turn off the gas and electrical power to the range.

2.

Set the ohmmeter to the R x 1 position.

3.

Disconnect the wires from the bake and broil terminals.

4.

Touch the meter leads to each set of terminals. The meter should indicate a low resistance
reading of between 1

Ω

 and 5

Ω

. If the meter indicates an open circuit, or a high resistance,

replace the valve.
