While trying to swap out the igniter in my oven, one of the wires was stuck to the safety valve - and when it came off, so did the male connector from the safety valve.

Does the entire safety valve now need to be replaced, or is there a way to get that connector back on there? If it’s fixable, is that something a repair person is better off handling or are the steps simple enough for a novice to handle? If the entire thing needs to be replaced, that part alone seems to be $200+ and will likely consider just replacing the entire oven.

Thanks in advance! Someday I’ll learn I’m just no good at DIY...

Does the entire safety valve now need to be replaced

There's no way I know to reinstall the terminal. Normally the whole valve would need to be replaced.

that part alone seems to be $200+ and will likely consider just replacing the entire oven.

That's up to you, $250 to repair or $800-$1,000+ to replace... plus the hassle.
