I've been experiencing intermittant shut-off of both the oven and burners on my gas range starting a couple of months ago and it seems to be getting worse. The first time it happened, I had started a roast in the oven, got it up to 350 and walked away. When I checked on it an hour later, the oven was off and there were no error codes on the display. This happened again a couple more times over the next month with no obvious explanation. More recently, I had the oven and 2 or 3 burners going at the same time and the next thing I know, everything is off and, again, no error codes on the display. It just shuts itself off after it's been running for a while and I have no clue as to why. I've confirmed that the flexible gas line isn't kinked, but beyond that, I don't know what else to look for. The only other oddity I've noticed is that, following a power failure and subsequent "unlocking" of the burners, something on the unit buzzes/squeals very noticably for a week or so and eventually quiets down to where it is inaudible; could this be related? Could the problem be something to do with the shut-off valve/lock-out solenoid going bad?

Any suggestions as to how to diagnose the problem would be appreciated.

Thanks - Greg!

Greg,

Have you been able to relight the top burners right after it stopped?

The model number you posted is incomplete.

Gene.

Greg,

Check the ground line all the way from the outlet (including the outlet itself) to the range body and controls.

If you have the wiring diagrams and can post it, it might help. I do not have access to any Sears diagrams and/or tech sheets.

Gene.

Sorry I never got back to you; I wasn't notified that another response had been made to my posting and just saw it today. I did however order a replacement valve and solenoid for the main gas supply to the unit. It was the source of the buzzing/squealing I mentioned in the original post and I though I might get lucky and solve 2 problems with 1 solution.

But I will check the ground line as suggested and get back to you with my findings.

Thanks,
Greg
