Can the valves be relocated to a cooler location?

See reply to JL for what would be involved.

Or can you substitute more robust valves made for hot location use?

The Pentair people (valve manufacturer) said they have no such
solution.

Have you looked into another valve company ?

I retired a few years ago from a large company and we had hundreds of
valves similar to that and very few of them failed, especially the
coils. Most did operate on 120 volts.

Not sure how the valves are in your oven, but maybe you could try 2 of
the 120 volt coils in series.
