Quick question about checking my DSI for a Whirlpool Gas Range Model SF367LEKB.
When I check the J1 connector at the terminals 4 & 6 for the oven, I get 120v AC, which is correct. My question is, when I check the DC voltage at terminals 1 & 2, should I only get the recommended 8-18v when the ignitor is trying to light, and the rest of the time it should be 0v? That makes sense to me.
Here the background. The oven would occasionally not light, and now will not light at all. I had an error code that said to check the pig tail (which I assumed was the J1 connector). I don't get the error code but now when I try to light the oven, it will click a few times without lighting and sometimes I will get a power failure (PF) message.
I had a tech come out and look at it (tried to turn it on once) and he had to call his boss. His boss said that it was my spark ignition module (which I think he means my DSI board) and that it needed to be replaced ($340 plus labor). Well the price of repairing it made me do some more research and I found a similar problem in this forum, which led me to test the gas distribution valve.
I get 218 ohms the bake solenoid, but my broil solenoid only shows about 60. This makes me feel like the problem is my gas distribution valve and not the DSI. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ryan
