Don August 11, 2013 for Model Number SF362LX5B The oven will not turn on, or pre heat. There is no clicking.
1 Answer Hello Don. If there is power from the board W10114384 to the module WPW10331686 but no spark, replace the module. No power from the board, replace the board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Carl T August 07, 2013 for Model Number wfg361lvq 8 Oven burner wont stay lit after ignitor qiuts clicking.
1 Answer Carl, The issue with the gas not staying lit or relighting would be caused by a faulty safety valve WPW10602001 which would need to be replaced. Read More...
Tony August 04, 2013 for Model Number sf362Lxst hello,my oven and broil do not work,surface burners work,control panel works like it normally does,makes clicking noise and thats it oven does not start,no gas smell,thanks for your help
1 Answer Tony, You will want to check the oven safety valve for 216 ohms of resistance. If the unit igniters are clicking but no gas then this is most likely the issue. If there is not 216 from bake to common or from broil to common then the valve would need to be replaced. Read More...
Love Joy May 28, 2013 for Model Number GS563LXSB The top burners work fine. The broiler stopped working, then the oven stopped working. I hear a click in the panel, then two consecutive clicks in the oven, but no gas, no gas smell. Should I start by replacing the oven ignite thingy?
1 Answer Love Joy, You will need to check voltage to the spark module when the unit is turned on to bake. On the spark module you will need to check for 120 vac between J1-6 and J1-4 pins on the spark module. If there is not 120 vac then the spark module is bad. You will then want to check for DC voltage between Pins J1-1 and J1-2 which is for bake for between 8-18VDC. If there is not 8-18vdc then the spark module is bad. If there is not correct voltage then the spark module is bad. If there is between 8-18 vdc then you will need to replace the safety valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Chuck S May 07, 2013 for Model Number WFG6361LVD Igniter 9758079 Do I splice the wire on the new igniter to the old wire. The illustration shows only a short wire stub out of the porcelain tube.
1 Answer Chuck, The wire that is connected to the original igniter has a terminal on it that you disconnect and connect to the new igniter. Read More...
Nancy April 04, 2013 for Model Number GFGH471LVB0 My oven won't light you can hear the clicking and smell the gas but it takes a lot of attempts to get it to start. Sometimes it will light on the first try other times it takes 3 or 4 tries. We have taken the igniter out and cleaned it. But it still does this. Could you please tell me what part I should order or what we should do next?
1 Answer Hello Nancy, This sounds like the ignitor WP9758079 is broken down electrically and will require replacement. The only other thing that can cause this is oxidation in the burner assembly WP9758078. Read More...
Richard March 28, 2013 for Model Number sf362lxsto Hello, I'm having troubles with just the oven. I replaced the igniter that was burned out and a new module and still the oven is not working. When you turn the oven on you can smell the gas and it clicks twice but nothing is happening, no flames. Please help me! Thank you, Richard
1 Answer Hello Richard, If you have replaced the igniter and you are smelling gas but the burner is not igniting, the burner WP9758078 may be the issue. Read More...
Puppet February 15, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXSB0 Whirlpool brand: Bake area don't heat up and when I turn it on I don't hear ticking sound, that normally makes the oven start heating up. Not sure which of the igniters to get that causing the oven for not heating up....Spark or Oven Igniters.
1 Answer Hello Puppet, The oven ignitor WP9758079 is the ignitor for the oven. You should test the oven solenoids on the safety valve to make sure that it is not bad. Check from bake to common with terminals off for 216 ohms. If bad then replace the valve. Read More...
Marius December 17, 2012 for Model Number MGR7662WW Neither the broil burner or the bake burner turns on. The top burners work just fine, you hear the clicking noise but no sparks come out. When using a flame the burner does light up. Is it possible that both top and biottom ignitors went bad in the same time( altough I am told by my in laws that they never used the feature) -so dont know it ever worked. I suspect there might be more than just the ignitor not sparking.
1 Answer Hello Marius, You should first check the Spark module. The spark module will deliver spark to all parts of unit. You can test on the spark module, Connector J1 pin 7 to pin 4 , pin 6 to pin 4 and pin 9 to pin 4 for 120 vac on each location. If you are getting 120 vac then your have a bad spark module. You cannot test the board to the ignitors because the voltage is too high. You can test each ignitor for continuity but not power. On the bake and broil you can test across the pins on the safety valve for resistance. You should have 216 ohms from bake (Red) to common (orange) and broil (Blue) to common (orange). You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Pete December 12, 2012 for Model Number SF362LXTS0 We've been having an issue with the gas oven not lighting - gas would flow, you could hear the igniter clicking, but the gas would not ignite. Removing the floor of the oven, I could see that there wasn't any spark. The range top worked fine as did the broiler. The problem was intermittent and rare but suddenly got much worse. I replaced the igniter (part no. 9758079) and everything worked fine for about 2 weeks. Now, the oven almost never lights (broiler and range still okay). At this point, after doing some more reading, I believe the problem is a) a bad ground, b) a bad spark module (part no. W10331686), or c) a faulty control board. My question is how do I determine which is the likely culprit? I'm comfortable using a mutlimeter but am not sure where inside the oven I should attaching the leads to verify the ground for the igniter or to check the floating voltage. And I haven't yet found a guide on how to test the spark module. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Pete, You will need to check the resistance of the gas valve coils WPW10293048, the DC voltage at the valve from the DSI module WPW10331686 and check the oven burner tube for dirty or clogged ports. You'll need to get access to a multi meter TJMA-DM1 to test the circuits and voltages. Here's the test information; "First thing, check and make sure the power cord is attached to a properly polarized and grounded 120 VAC outlet. A proper ground is very important for the range to operate properly. Then you'll need to make several tests at the gas distribution valve. At the valve body terminals, with the wires labeled and remove from the middle terminal to each of the outer terminals, you should read 215 ohms resistance. With the wires reconnected, when you select the bake cycle, you should have a reading of 8 to 18 VDC across the red and orange wires. When you make a broil selection you should have the same 8 to 18 VDC,across the orange and blue wires. If all checks are proper(within 10%) replace the oven bake burner and or igniter." Read More...
