Propane gas oven not working

[tstex]

Hello to all

Have a Frigidaire Propane Stove/oven, Model FGF326ASD. (And, this is why I’m getting the surge protector).

It took a power surge and I replaced the control module bc neither the digital clock nor anything else would light up on LED display. When replaced, all seemed normal. All four gas stovetops work fine and always have. Good gas pressure too, always.

Yesterday I tried the oven for the first time and got an F30 error, meaning no way to set the oven temp. Here’s what i did:

-Unplugged it for 30 mins to try resetting / Nada
-Tested continuity of heat sensor probe plug from sensor side, it was bad
-inserted a 1000ohm resistor into the heat probe receptacle on the over side to simulate continuity. This resolved the F30 error and allowed me to set oven temp and then it kicked into “Bake Mode”. The igniter/glow plug lites up fine, BUT, the propane never comes on to lite the oven. There’s no wiring that goes to the gas regulator. But, it did have an on/off switch and it was in the on position (edited)

So, any ideas on why gas is not cutting on? I’m in the process of buying a new probe.

thank you in advance

It looks like there is a safety valve which is electrically controlled that could stop the supply of gas to the oven, see item #17 if I searched correctly:

Frigidaire Range FGF326ASD Parts List

Thanks climber.. I forgot to mention and i will edit my post, that there is an on/off switch by regulator, it was in the “on” position. But i flipped it off & on. Since the gas stoves are all four working and always have, so prob not the regulator.

There should be a electrical solenoid valve controlling gas flow into oven burner (independent of top burners) ... Agree with thclimer on #17...

Thanks Wrangler. I was actually going to try taking the back cover (or entire back plate off),but looked like a long process and i had to head back. Then i saw off i took out the 2 racks, There weee 2 screws that i could take off the inside cover to access solenoid. What the best way to test it? Thanks again

Looks like it is an easy continuity test:

High priced little thing, at least from that web site.

Very nice find! How can the pricing be so vastly different?

Newer model gas stoves have about 100-1000 watt heater to keep the oven safety valve open. Have to have 120volt supply to use oven. Significant draw if off grid. Old ovens or new specialized ovens for off grid don’t have the heater safety valve.

mid, after watching the troubleshooting video by climer, I noted that the safety valve in the pic he is testing has 2 sets of prongs: one for bake and one for broil. I believe the digital display on my oven model FGF326ASD has both functions. Since I really do not use the broil function, I could forgo that function for about a $300 savings...

Thanks again

If that is indeed the same stove in the part catalogue, you don't have the separate 'broil' valve. Even so, the main valve looks to be the same among several different models and that amazon part has the same model number as the one listed in the parts catalog.

Thank you Mid for doublechecking this...if this is the part I need, I will be ordering from you lead...thanks again

The Amazon listing even indicated the safety valve is manufactured by Frigidaire, the same as the oven manufacture.

My model # is FGF326ASD, which isn't listed below...this is from the Amazon part description, and I would certainly want to make sure that I am in the "and others" to be for sure...

• "Fits models: FGF316DSA, FGF337ECC, FGFB33WHSA, TGF336BHWE
• Fits models: TGF336BHWD, FGF337AWJ, TGF336BHWC and others
• Replacement part for models: 300, 3131449, 316066400, 3201101, 5303131449, 774T117P10
• Replaces AH446204, EA446204, PS446204"

I agree.. Most definitely double check by looking at your own part. However, the parts catalogue list the safety valve as "PS446204". The description on Amazon says that the part "3203459" replaces "PS446204" (among 2 others). So that part is taken care of. If you also indeed have the 2nd 'Broiler' safety valve, that will be a different part and if still good can be swapped and reused. The trick now is to see if that is actually the part that is the problem..

Great, thank you mid...I plan on going back out this Wednesday and will check for sure...have a new temp probe being delivered today so I will install. Not sure when the control module will arrive, but thanks again !
