James May 04, 2014 for Model Number Kitchenaid gas oven Mod. # KGSA906PSS00 Water got into my gas oven. Now, the control panel asks me to enter the probe temperature or remove the probe. I've never used a probe or seen that message before. However, if I enter a temp and then select a cooking method (eg bake) as requested the spark ignitor fires and the lower burner ignites. Then is stops after 3 or 4 seconds. I can't repeat the firing if I re-enter a probe temp. and select bake, unless I kill power to the stove (eg flip the breaker switch); when power is restored I can repeat the process once, i.e, enter a probe temp and cause the bake burner to fire for a few seconds. There may still be some moisture in the insulation. what should I do?
1 Answer James, Based on the information provided it sounds like the probe jack may have shorted out or the control board is faulty. You can test the meat probe sensor and jack by inserting the probe into the jack 8186589 and doing a resistance check at the control board. The resistance should be between 1,300 and 103K ohms and at room temp approximately 59K ohms. If the jack and probe check ok then the control board WP9762810 is faulty and would need to be replaced.

Jim L. April 19, 2014 for Model Number WFG510S0AB1 Hi, My oven is not lighting consistently. The spark ignitor will click but not light the oven. Sometimes it will work after the gas dissipates and we try to light it again. Replaced the ignitor with a new one this morning but we have the same issue. Also, once cooking at 450F it heated up and then did not hold temperature and cooled off. Would this be the spark module? This stinks only 13 month old oven?
1 Answer Jim, The spark module WPW10331686 is one possibility. but you also need to check the gas valve solenoids for resistance and voltage from the module. when the oven is attempting to ignite there should be 8 to 18 volts DC across the gas valve solenoids from the spark module. and each solenoid should have a resistance of 215 ohms resistance across the terminals. You may want to operate the oven for a few minutes before you start testing the voltage and resistances, That way the wek part would have time to malfunction to make the tests a bit easier, and results more accurate.

Mike M April 04, 2014 for Model Number SF362LXSB0 My oven and broiler does not work, my stove top works just fine. When I push the bake and the start button I hear 1 click and when I push the broil and start button I hear 1 click in the top panel and 2 clicks in the oven. I don't smell any gas and my oven does not ignite. Can you help with my problem?
1 Answer Mike, 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. 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...
John F. March 04, 2014 for Model Number SF265LXTQ0 On my Whirlpool range (SF265LXTQ0), my surface burners are working perfectly, but my oven and broiler are not lighting. When I set the oven temp and hit start, I hear two loud clanging clicks and that's it. I never hear the gas start to flow. Just the two clicks, followed by the sound of my stomach growling because I'm not eating a delicious pizza. Please help!
1 Answer John, you'll need to check the spark module WPW10331686 and regulator/valve assy WPW10293048. Thanks! Read More...
Dan February 28, 2014 Whirlpool gas stove. The oven lights, sometimes when it needs to reignite to keep the temp constant the igniter clicks but oven doesn't relight.
1 Answer Hello Dan. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Frank February 25, 2014 for Model Number GS773LXSS0 Super Appliance Gurus, My stove top and bake function on my range work fine. However, the broiler does not work. When I turn on the broiler, I hear clicking, however, zero heat is produced. Any suggestions? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Frank. You should have a reading of 215 ohms resistance from the center terminal to either of the outside terminals of the gas valve. If this is off, the gas valve WPW10293048 will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Dharti February 02, 2014 for Model Number WFG361LVS2 I have a whirlpool oven, model number WFG361LVS2 and the surface stoves work completely fine, when I broil the oven ignites and works, although when I hit bake and set a temp, the ignition will click about 3-4 times but nothing will happen. I'm just wondering if the oven does turn on when on broil how could it not turn on when I hit bake, what could be wrong?
1 Answer Dharti, you'll need to check the gas valve part number WPW10293048. Test for 3.2-3.6 volts AC at the gas safety valve with the igniter turned on. If the voltage is there, you have a bad safety valve. If the voltage is low, you have a weak igniter and the igniter will need to be replaced. The bake igniter is part number WP9758079. Hope this information helps you, thanks! Read More...
John B. January 30, 2014 for Model Number 66575132301 My oven ignites and heats for about an hour and then turns off. When I go to turn the oven back on it sometimes ignites and sometimes does not. When it does ignite, it does not reach the desired temperature.
1 Answer Hello John, This sounds like the gas valve WPW10293048 is in the early stages of failure. You should test the temperature sensor WPW10181986 and the voltage from the bake relay 8524213 after the unit has heated up and cut off. Read More...
Cathy January 22, 2014 for Model Number GS44OLMB4 I have a Whirlpool Accubake Gas oven converted to propane. The oven is not heating up. When I turn it on, I don't hear anything so I don't believe it is sparking. I took the bottom of the oven off and watched the ignition switch when I turned it on and it never turned red. I also looked underneath and never saw anything turn red. I'm not sure if this is a igniter issue or a safety valve issue.
1 Answer Hello Cathy, This sounds like either a bad spark module WPW10331686, a bad bake ignitor WP9758079, or a bad control WP8524252. Read More...
John B. January 05, 2014 for Model Number SF362LXSS 0 Our Whirlpool oven is not working. The stove top burners work just fine, and the control panel seems to be working properly, but neither the bake burner or broiler burner are coming on. When you hit either bake or broil and then hit start, you can hear the customary click in the control panel, but the spark igniters do not click or spark, so the burners do not come on. Can you tell me where to start?
1 Answer Hello John, I would first check the ignitor wires 8523599 and the ignitors WP8523793. I would also check for a proper ground around the ignitors since it has to throw its' spark to ground. If the surface grounds has been lost, the spark module will throw its' spark to the next easiest path to ground. Read More...
