Larry July 12, 2011 for Model Number CGR1420BDW I had to tap on gas valve to get oven to lite. Replaced gas valve. After few months,it is having the same problem. What is wrong ?
1 Answer Hi Larry. Sorry you have such a problem over and over. My mind immediately goes to the part which "calls'" the valve to open this part is the oven ignitor. This part # is 74007498. Since they work in conjunction with one another, and with you having to tap on the valve, have you contacted your local gas co. to see if they are supplying you with the correct pressures? Have you added or have any other gas appliances repaired in the home also. Hope this helps. Thank you. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Fishy. It sounds like the valve is good, and you did recieve the correct one for your serial number. However if the igniter 74007498 is weak, it will shut the valve on and off. You will need to replace the igniter to see if this resolves the problem. Hope this helps. Read More...

Fishy May 02, 2011 for Model Number Gas Valve #74006281 Thanks for responding! I'm connecting to natural gas - do I still need to adjust? How do I regulate the valve?
1 Answer Hello Fishy. What is the model number of the unit your working on? You could have a bad regulator. Thanks. Read More...
Fishy May 02, 2011 for Model Number Gas Valve #74006281 Ordered and replaced the above-referenced valve, but I still cannot get the oven working properly. The oven lights sparodically, changes from large flame to completely shut seemingly without reason. Any settings involved in changing this part? I just disconnected the old valve and reconnected the new one.
1 Answer Hello Fishy. Are you using natural gas or lp gas. If your on lp, the valve needs to be set for lp. You can do this by turning the orifice down 2 full rounds. Hope this helps. Read More...
Greg February 19, 2011 Our oven will not start. The igniter gets hot and there seems to be no gas entering the oven. the burners on the stove top work fine. Would this valve be the cause that no gas is entering the oven and the oven will not start or ignite?
1 Answer Hi Greg, A weak oven ignitor can cause the oven not to light. It has to get hot enough to light the gas, before the valve will open. Thanks! Read More...
