After speaking with the Kenmore service and parts department, they concluded that my gas valve to bake was either clogged or broken since the broiler element works and we didn’t smell gas when we tried to use the bake control. I didn’t find a video on how to replace or clean the gas valve. We got down to the valve but don’t know where to go from there. Do we access it from the back to replace it or do it from the oven? Do you have a video

I am sure the team at Kenmore is doing their best to lead you in the right direction over the phone, however there are occasions that when it does make sense to have a professional look at an appliance for you. The valve/regulator combo could be bad, however we do see more ignitors, electrical components, and controls fail than we do those valves. Most gas parts are non-returnable once installed too. Attached is a common Whirlpool valve replacement, not the exact part on your model, but it will give you an idea of what is involved in the repair. In this case it may be worth your time to call a service technician out to the home to confirm what part is failing for you, even if you end up doing the repair on your own. Good Luck and let us know how things go.

Very common symptom for a bad bake igniter.
