Description
Ensure the safe and controlled flow of gas to your oven burner with the GE WB19K31 Oven Safety Valve. This genuine OEM electromagnetic valve is a critical safety component in your gas range, designed to prevent gas from being released until the igniter has reached the proper temperature (voltage) to safely ignite it. If your igniter glows but the gas never lights, this valve is often the cause. This replacement restores safe and consistent oven operation.
Features & Benefits:
- Gas Flow Control: Regulates the release of gas to the main oven bake and broil burners.
- Safety Assurance: Acts as a solenoid valve that will not open unless the igniter is hot enough to prevent uncombusted gas leaks.
- Durable Construction: Built from robust metal to ensure reliability under high-temperature conditions.
- Critical Repair: Essential for fixing ignition failure and ensuring the oven maintains set temperatures.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- The oven igniter glows red for an extended time (over 90 seconds) but the main burner does not light.
- The oven fails to heat up at all.
- A faint odor of gas is noticeable when the igniter is supposed to be working.
