Hi Gene
I am responding to this ticket instead of opening a new one. We currently have the same problem and have a kitchen aid KGSA906PSS02. The bake and broiler are not igniting with propane anymore. I hear two clicks and then nothing lights. The stovetop burner works fine.
Can you point me to which part I should be purchasing. Is it the gas valve that would be behind the bottom drawer with three cables connecting to it? I'm new to this, and want to make sure I follow all steps accurately. (if i need to turn of gas, etc)
Thanks for any help.
Jay

Jay, Very likely the problem is a bad valve/regulator but because this part is very expensive you may want to check it as described on the first page of this thread. You also can find the disassembly instructions on the first page. - The gas valve/regulator Part number: AP3886450

Thanks so much for the response Gene. I bought a digital multimeter, but was getting a bit lost on how to test. Am I putting the black needle on the top solenoid and then the red on the other ones?
Just a little lost there.
Thanks again
Jay

Jay, When you do continuity test it does not mater which test probe where goes. The following article on our forum will explain in detail how to run a continuity test using either an analog meter or a digital meter - How To Check Continuity With OhmmeterGene.

Thanks again Gene. I am receiving the gas valve tomorrow and will be giving it a go. Before I go ahead and remove the current one, I just want to run through the steps one more time (Sorry I know they are all in the previous posts, but I am the type who needs to be certain)
I will follow your instructions word for word - and won't bug you any further about this :) The parts I wont to make sure about primarily are how to physically remove and replace the gas valve, and reconnecting the gas line with the yellow teflon tape.
Thanks again. Happy Friday
Jay

Hello, I'm very frustrated with my oven... I have a kitchenaid gas convection oven, model kgsa906pss02. I'm on a tight budget :( I'm pretty good at fixing things so I trying with this. I had the same problem as another forum member, Neil I think, where the gas wouldn't turn on in the oven. Cooktop was ok. It made two click sounds and then nothing. The element works, but it's only ok for cookies, not cakes! So the broil igniter and bake igniters were replaced by myself, thinking that would do it but nope...still the same. Keeping the old ones just in case since I can't return these parts. Tested the thermal fuse, it has continuity. Don't have a multimeter but had appliance store test it for me. I need to get one of those. I'm worried about having to replace either the safety valve or the oven control board as they are both 300$ parts :((( how can I test these parts to see if they are the culprits, and if it's with the multimeter, where do I touch the probes onto? Would it be wise to have a licensed technician come to replace safety valve if it does turn out to be the problem? Liability wise
Thanks for any help and advice!
