OVEN VALVE -no parts available

[George_H]

RV repair tells us that this valve (74006333) is the problem with our oven not staying lit and the part is unavailable for the last 10 years, their answer is to replace the range. We want to keep our 4 burner range. We may try another service location to see if we get another answer.

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

Having had 2 older class As, I found googling the part number and/or manufacturer works in finding the "obsolete" parts. When the manufacturer stopped making these parts, there were unsold parts on the shelf that someone bought for pennies on the dollar. They did that for the exact purpose of selling them to people who need the part.

If all else fails try Colaws for the part or an upgraded stove.

Take the obsolete valve with you and go to a Johnstone supply store and see if they can match it for you.
