    Default KitchenAid Gas Range KGSK901SSS00 Oven will not ignite

    We have a problem with a KitchenAid Gas Range oven failing to ignite (Model: KGSK901SSS00) We have replaced the Safety Check Valve, Spark Igniter, and Direct Spark Ignition Control Board. The oven is getting gas and you can hear the igniter click for a few seconds then it shuts off. Also, while installing the DSI Control Board, we noticed 2 thermal fuses behind the control panel. We did a continuity test on both of them and found one of them to be bad. We ordered a new thermal fuse. When we recieved the new fuse, we performed a continuity check on it before installing it and it failed to show continuity also. Is that normal or did we get a bad fuse? Can the thermal fuse prevent the oven fron igniting? If not, any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi rock,

    No, its very rare for it to be a thermal fuse issue.

    Did you go through the flow chart of the DSI repair manual here on page 24:

    Wow, thanks for the manual. I've never seen this. I'm sure we'll be able to figure the problem out with this. If not, I'll definately let you know. Once again, thanks!

    Oh yeah, pertaining to the fuse: should the new fuse have shown continuity or is this a different type fuse?

    Thanks, once again...

    Yes, thats #23 here:
    Part#9757807




    It should have continuity. If you got it new and it doesn't have continuity, then its defective, you would need to exchange it for a another new one.

    Also check #37 for continuity as well.

    Make sure the power to your range is off first before checking for continuity.

    Here's #37 for your model:
    Manufacturer part number 9759242 is RepairClinic item number 1061375
