Frigidaire Gas Oven Valve Fail

The oven was not firing up in this three-year-old Frigidaire gas range. I troubleshot the problem to a defective bake igniter, insufficient current draw to open the gas valve. I replaced the bake igniter only to then reveal that the gas valve had failed, too. In this case, the gas valve now opens but it fails to close all the way, allowing gas to continue to flow. Again, keep in mind: this range is only three years old! I am seeing these types of premature failures with increasing frequency, particularly in lower-end appliances of all brands. If the customer had replaced the igniter himself, he would have thought "mission accomplished," oblivious to the dangerous situation he just created.

Moral of the story:
You don't know what you don't know and what you don't know CAN kill you!
