i have a kitchenaid gas stove. the burners work but the oven won't lite. the bake and roast do nothing
and the broil clicks twice but doesn't open the gas and therefore does not lite.
i replaced the spark module as i was told.. and it did not fix the problem.
the spark module came with directions talking about serial codes starting with rk01-rk33.?????
if they mean serial number? mine begins with a xt
it goes on about cutting a red wire and then disconnect a wire in the back.. well i didn't want to do that because my serial number doesn't match.
please help on a levels
i need to make pizza
thanks

You have to have a simple multimeter to perform the troubleshooting. Let us know when you ready.

P.S. The model number you posted does not come up. Verify and repost it.

Neil,
This part is not too difficult to replace yourself if you know how to handle a simple tools. Pull the range out of the wall and shut off the gas. Before you'll remove the wires from the valve/regulator draw a picture of them so you will know where to put them on the new part. Tight all gas line connectors to prevent possible gas leak. I would recommend to call a local gas company after you'll be done to check all connections with a gas leak detector to make sure everything is safe.
Gene.

What is "yello tape"? If you mean "teflone tape" then the answer is Yes. You do have to use it in most cases. If you are not sure how to do it correct then it is better to hire a plumber to do all gas connections.

Neil,
You are welcome. I'm glad you were able to fix it. Unfortunately I do not have any answer on your last question.
Gene.
