Louise H December 26, 2013 for Model Number SF26LXST When I turn my oven on, I hear the click but it does not ignite. Can you please tell me what the problem is?
1 Answer Hello Louise. Check and see if the igniter is sparking. If not, then check and see if the igniter WP8054129 is good. It should read closed for continuity and not be cracked. If good, replace the module. If the igniter is sparking, then test the gas valve WPW10293048 and replace if needed. 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...
Rebecca December 13, 2013 for Model Number Maytag MGRH865QDS Hi There, the top stove burners work and the broiler works, as does the display panel. When I turn the oven on to bake, it doesn't start up (I don't hear the click before the gas usually kicks in) and it is totally cold inside.
1 Answer Rebecca, You have us at a lost. You forgot to supply a complete model number, but. Based on the information you did supply, your oven doesn't have an oven "spark" igniter, or a DSI spark module, it has a "hot surface" glow bar igniter WP7432P136-60 for both the bake and broil burners. You should remove the oven base panel and flame spreader and check to see what is mounted to the burner tube before you order any parts. Read More...
Rampz November 20, 2013 for Model Number 317b6641poo1 The top gas burners work. The oven will not ignite to have the heat go on. We have GE spectra oven
1 Answer Rampz, You will want to Test for 3.2-3.6 amps 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. 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...
Darren G November 16, 2013 My oven is Maytag Stainless Steel in color model number MGR7775WS - 2. The oven stays on until it reaches the the desired temperture but then it will cut off and back on. Will stay on to cook certain foods will not cook all foods. The broiler on the oven works just fine. The bake works off and on sometimes.
1 Answer Darren, You will want to check the oven sensor to make sure that it is good. At room temp the oven sensor should be approximately 1090 ohms resistance. If not then you will need to replace the sensor. Read More...
Darren November 16, 2013 How do I know if the igniter is bad? Someone told it might be the glow igniter. They say it should be white in color when it get hot. The oven will get up to 450 degrees but it will not cook certain foods. The igniter does not get white in color. Should the igniter get white in color when it is hot. They say you can test the igniter and sensor.
1 Answer Hello Darren. 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. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Holly November 05, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXTY My oven clicks to turn on the heat, but wont stay on to heat the oven. And when it does light up the heat doesn't stay high
1 Answer Holly, You didn't mention an issue with the Broil burner. If it is working correctly, then the issue is most likely in the DSI spark module WPW10331686 The "re ignition" circuit in the control is weak and or malfunctioning and not allowing the burner to re ignite during the bake cycle Read More...
Jim October 23, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXTS0 Hi, I have a Whirlpool Gas oven, approx 5 yrs old, Model # #SF362LXTS0. This gradually started over a 1 month period. The oven ignites, heats up and then cuts out. The broiler works, the range top works without issues... It's just the oven. I had tested the temp probe with my multi meter, I was getting 0 for ohms, when I should be reading approx 1100 ohms, I even cut the jacket back a bit and still came up with 0. So I bought a new temp probe, which ohms fine.. with the new probe, it does stay lit a bit longer (15 -25 min) , but cuts out still. Can anyone please help direct me to where I should be looking next? Gas valve / Circuit Board / or the ignitor-gas burner.. My oven's gas burner has the ignitor riveted to the side, IT IS NOT the heater element type, looks more like what you have on your grill outside.. I appreciate all your thoughts , suggestions and efforts.... TY
1 Answer Hello Jim. If it shuts off and never lights back, you will need to replace the control board on the unit. It should cycle on and off to regulate the temp once the unit has preheated. Read More...
Kevin October 07, 2013 for Model Number sf362lxts2 stove top works and .the broiler works. when the oven comes on you can hear the spark igniteor try three time and cycle out. This is not consistant sometimes the oven works and sometimes it doesn't.
1 Answer Kevin, since the issue is intermittent, and it seems to apply to the bake burner ignition you'd need to suspect the DSI spark module,WPW10331686. The re ignition circuit in the control board for the bake burner is probably weak and intermittent. Read More...
Chris September 11, 2013 for Model Number MGR7775WB 2 Surface Burners work...control panel works...lights work...hear clicking sound like usual, but does not start. The difference from other people that have posed the question is that I can smell a little gas while it is trying to start up...like flooding an engine. Not sure whether it is the igniter because it won't start...or safety valve which I never would have considered until reading it here. Please help... Thanks!
1 Answer Chris, You will want to test for 3.2-3.6 amps 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. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Zak M August 19, 2013 for Model Number whirpool stove oven SF367LEQ My oven turn on if you put in on Bake for 350 degrees if you set up time for 30 minutes the burner wont shut off stays on continousley and burn every thing any ideas. Thanks
1 Answer Zak, You will want to test you oven sensor to make sure that the sensor is good. You should have a resistance value of 1090 ohms at room temperature and if not then the sensor is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
