Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Igniter (Part Number: OEM18058722)

Mike Benz for Model Number KGRS505XSS00

I replaced the bottom bake igniter with 7432P143-60 and now a few days later, the top over bake igniter isn't lighting (go figure) At first nether the bake or broil igniters in the top oven worked but after rebooting the oven, the broil works now but the bake is dead. There are two igniters listed for this model: 7432P143-60 W10324738 Again 7432P143-60 worked in the bottom bake oven. Is that the same part number for the top bake igniter and if so is W10324738 for the boiler? The diagram really isn't very informative on which is which. I did find a reference to W10324738 where the description said it was for the broiler but I want to double check before i order the igniter for the top bake oven. Also i noticed the convection fan doesn't seem to turn on in the bottom over. We really dont use it but if I wanted to get that replaced, are there things I can check before buying a new fan? Thx!!!

Mike, The bake ignitor will be W11596211 and the broil is WPW10324738. As far as the fan goes you can check the control board at connectors P5-3 and P6-3 for 120 VAC while in convection bake. If you have voltage and the fans not running then replace the fan motor. No voltage then the control needs replaced.

Hello Patrick, since the lower oven does not immediately trip the circuit breaker and occurs after the oven is heating there is likely a voltage carrying wire is being pinched or grounded which is tripping the circuit breaker.This would involve removing the rear and side panels and tracing the wire harness.

Jimbob, If your top burners are operating correctly then probably the gas valve WPW10546238 would be the issue. They are separate ignitors and the one thing connected to both is the valve.

Hello Kyle, You should be able to access the ignitor through the floor of the bake compartment.

Max, You will want to go in through the oven bottom in order to replace the igniter of the oven.

JW, You're dealing with two separate ignition devices/systems. The broil burner ignition could be and is most likely due to a weak oven burner igniter W11596211 / WP7432P143-60. But the top center burner is a different story. First remove the burner cap, check that all the burner openings are clear, the area around the burner is clear, and look into the opening and make sure there is no debris or grease, etc. blocking the orifice or orifice spud. If all's OK, then suspect the center burner gas valve WPW10298678 / WPW10298678 as the culprit.
