Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 2/29/2008(UTC) Posts: 1		Could someone please help me diagnose this?? Turned on the oven and it made this big whooshing sound.. like gas escaping.. so I turned it off. Now it will not light. The glow plug glows, and the broiler works as do the burners. I am guessing it is the gas valve... How can I test it and what else should I look for? Thanks
