The safety valve was the problem, thanks for the suggestion.

Gene. I found this post after having the same problem with my oven. The repair man that came to fix it could not figure out the problem until I showed him this post. He tested the solenoid as you instructed. To make a long story short, we replaced the gas valve/regulator and our oven is working great!!! Thank you much!! :)

Can you smell or hear the gas open while it's sparking? Gene.

196 Ohms reading looks pretty strange and suspicious. On the other side the gas valve is not cheap and it's better to get a more reliable test result. - The gas valve/regulator Part number: AP3866825
