I am experiencing the same problem, but both legs are measuring approximately 208 ohms. Is this close enough, or is there some other problem? No gas at all is making it out of the valve when I disconnect the lines. Im at a total loss here.

What is the complete model number of the oven?

Can you be more specific on the problem?

Gene.

The oven model number is SF362LXSB0.

The problem is that the oven/broiler does not heat up at all. I checked the gas flow at the valve for the cook top burners, and all is fine there, but nothing comes out when I try to start the oven part. I checked the resistances, but all looks normal there too.

I bet it's the solenoids on the gas valve check your resistance on it Those valves are crap even tho the top works it would keep the oven from working

http://www.servicematters.com/docs/w...iring_main.htm

Check between each solenoid for 216
Ω resistance
(Broil terminal to Common, and Bake terminal
to Common).

NOTE:
Always check both solenoids. If one of

the solenoids is defective, neither one will operate

next question are you getting voltage to it? is the electrode sparking? did the safety on the valve accidently get tripped?

The igniters are arcing. I haven't checked voltage, should I set it to bake and check for voltage at those same connections? And where is the safety valve to check for?
