Larene February 15, 2016 for Model Number whirlpool oven xfg374lvq0 I have had this oven for five years but it is in a second home and hasn't been used often. Several times I have been baking and the oven turns off then I can't reignite it. We unplugged it for a while, plugged it back in and the next morning the broiler worked but not the oven. Now the middle burner will ignite but nothing else. Seems to be intermittent. My husband found a red igniter wire had been pinched under the frame so that is concerning. We are thinking it could perhaps be the switch igniter circuit board, part # 9758080. It is expensive so we would like your opinion before ordering. I can't find a part number for the single red wire running from the circuit board to the oven igniter.
1 Answer LaRene, If the unit is not sparking then it could be a bad spark module or could be a bad oven safety valve. You can test the safety valve for 216 ohms of resistance and if the top can be light by a match then the most likely cause will be the spark module WPW10331686. For the wire that runs to the oven igniters the part number would be WPW10701462 Read More...
Henri Q January 29, 2016 for Model Number wfgg114svwo Oven starts but then only stays on about 20-30 seconds then turns off. then get F5 error code on control panel. coil is bright and flame, then turns off
1 Answer Henri, The model number supplied is incorrect or incomplete. The [WFG114SVW0] (closest model number) has a "glow bar" igniter W10918546, which matches a part of your description, but doesn't have a F5 error code (possibly F3 error code ?). Please recheck the model number and re post your question, also include an e mail address, so we can properly assist you in the diagnosis and repair of your gas range. Thanks Read More...
1 Answer Eric, If the oven is burner shuts off within 30 to 60 seconds and then will not light or only stays on for short periods like that then this would be a oven safety valve issue. Read More...
John L January 13, 2016 for Model Number MGR5755QDS Oven goes boom sometimes when it lights. I took the bottom cover off, turned the oven on and it lights fine. One thing I noticed was that the hot surface ignitor stays lit the whole time.
Jackie December 30, 2015 for Model Number WFG524SLAB2 My oven isn't functioning properly. If the oven hasn't been used in several hours and it is cold it will light. I can hear it tick and then immediately engage. If I change the temperature it goes out and will not light again but I can still use the broiler, it ignites normally. It's only about 18 months old and Whirlpool said they will provide the part but not the labor. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this request for ideas and information.
1 Answer Jackie, With the unit not relighting when hot, this sounds like it would be caused by a faulty oven safety valve. There are coils in the valve and the bake coil may be faulty. Read More...
Randy December 13, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Acubake electric glass top Just recently when we turn on the oven we get a weird smell, kind of a chemical smell for lack of better description. It seems that as long as the element is on the smell is persistent and when the element goes off it goes away in a few minutes. Is it possible the element is going bad?
1 Answer Hello Randy, You should examine the unit for any discoloration of the wiring or connections. It is more likely to have a loose connection since a failing element will normally only last a few minutes. Don't neglect checking the wall outlet, the plug, and the terminal block where the power cord connects to the unit. I'm sorry but we cannot diagnose any closer without the units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Read More...
Bob December 07, 2015 for Model Number SF262LXSW0 When attempting to use the Oven or Broiler, I turn it on, press start and it clicks twice. No gas, No electric spark. The sounds seems to be coming from the lower area near the back of the broiler, not the ignitor at the top of the oven area. Suggestion? I did also get a code when I turned on the stove originally that shows PSH. I recently bought the range, so I don't know if this is common or not
1 Answer Hello Bob. Controls displays “PUSH” , “PSH” or "P5H": The control requires an input. The Start pad begins any oven function. Push or Press the Start pad or key. Start begins any oven function. If Start is not pressed within 5 seconds, “PUSH?” or “PSH” appears in the display. If Start is not pressed within 1 minute after pressing a keypad, the function is canceled and the time of day is displayed. If there is no power coming to the spark module, you will need to replace the control board WPW10114373 on the unit. Read More...
Lisa November 23, 2015 for Model Number WFG361LVS 3 When I turn my oven on it goes tick,tick I can smell the gas and it keep attempting with the ticking but doesn't light to come but the gas is really strong. Any suggestions? I think it might be the the spark or the igniter.
1 Answer Lisa, The most likely cause of this will be a igniter that is bad or the burner tube has rust on the ports or is clogged causing the spark to not ignite the gas. Read More...
Jason November 17, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool GS563LXSS Hello. All of a sudden, the stovetop burners and the oven will not ignite. Gas is flowing. No spark clicking sound.
1 Answer Jason, With the top and oven not clicking this issue will most likely be the spark module part number WPW10331686 that has failed. Read More...
Rey November 13, 2015 for Model Number sf362lxsto whirlpool If I turned the broil or bake on I dont hear a sound. Igniter does not light or glow replaced the igniter with a new one and still my oven not working.
1 Answer Rey, You will want to check the oven safety valve for resistance. Check from either of the outer terminals to the center and there should be 216 ohms of resistance. If not then the issue will be the safety valve. If there is proper resistance then the issue will most likely be a faulty spark module. Read More...
