General Electric wb19k13 Oven Safety Valve 0.375 Inch Inlet

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC wb19k13 is an OEM oven safety valve designed for gas range and wall oven applications. The safety valve controls gas flow to the oven burner, opening only when the igniter or pilot reaches the correct temperature. This prevents unburned gas from entering the oven cavity. The inlet measures 0.375 inches, which is standard for many residential gas oven configurations. Appliance technicians and licensed gas fitters install this valve as a direct OEM replacement when the original valve fails to open, fails to close, or causes no-heat or runaway-heat conditions.

This valve is used in residential gas ranges and built-in gas wall ovens where the oven burner requires a thermostatically or electrically controlled safety shutoff. It is appropriate for service calls involving no oven heat, weak oven heat, or suspected gas valve failure. The 0.375-inch inlet connection is a key fitment detail to verify before ordering. Installation is typically performed by a qualified appliance service technician or licensed gasfitter.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified appliance technician or licensed gasfitter in accordance with local gas codes and the appliance manufacturer service documentation. Shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service. Verify all gas connections with an approved leak-detection solution after reassembly before restoring gas flow. Do not overtighten threaded fittings on the valve body, as this can crack the casting.
