The Oven Igniter is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is responsible for igniting the gas in the oven burner to produce the heat needed for cooking and baking. The igniter ensures a consistent and reliable flame each time the oven is used.

Causes of a bad igniter can include normal wear and tear, electrical faults, or exposure to high temperatures over extended periods. A worn or damaged igniter may fail to produce the necessary spark or heat to ignite the gas.

Symptoms of a bad igniter include:

  • The oven not heating up
  • Uneven cooking or baking
  • A delay in the oven igniting
  • The smell of gas without ignition

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Bake Ignitor (Part Number: OEM18058710)

1 Answer

Jerzy, the spark module WPW10511278 would need to be tested for voltage during a bake cycle. At the connection J1, the red wire at pin 6 would need to be tested for 120 VAC when the unit fails. If there is voltage, the next step would be testing from the red wire at pin 1 to the orange wire at pin 2 for 8 to 18 VDC. If there is not voltage, the spark module has failed. If there is voltage, the safety valve W10919226 would need to be replaced. However, if there was not 120VAC at the first test, the oven sensor W10833885 would need to be tested for resistance when the range is unplugged. It should measure 1100 Ohms at room temperature. If the sensor tests good, the main control WPW10340317 would be the likely cause of failure.

David, it is recommended that the oven burners are cleaned as it sounds like the ignitors are sparking but are unable to spark in the direction needed. If they are not sparking, then the ignitors would need to be inspected to identify if the broil ignitor WPW10324262 and bake ignitor WPW10333842 tips have residue on them or if the housings are cracked. If not, then the likely failure would be in the spark module WPW10511278 if it is receiving 120VAC from the main control WPW10340317 when a cooking cycle is on.

Mark for Model Number KGRS303BSS0

Hi, I My oven 'appears' to work normally (no errors and the display works fine) but once the oven reaches the desired temperatures it often drops in temperature dramatically. It sound like the gas is not igniting, I can hear the ignitor 'click, click' but no 'woosh. Is this likely a problem with my ignitor or my gas valve? Im just thrown off by the fact the the oven seems to heat up to temperature with no issues but is only about 30% successful at holding that tempurature. Thanks in advance,

Mark, With the igniter clicking but the unit not lighting it sounds like the coils on the safety valve, when they get heated up, are defective and the safety valve would need to be replaced.
