The Oven Burner Ignitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This part ignites the gas burner in the oven, providing the necessary spark to start the combustion process that heats the oven.  

Causes of a bad oven burner ignitor can include wear and tear from regular use, buildup of food debris or grease, or electrical issues such as a burned-out element or faulty connections. 

Symptoms of a bad oven burner ignitor include:

  • The oven not heating up or taking a long time to reach the set temperature
  • The ignitor not glowing or sparking
  • Unusual clicking or buzzing noises during ignition attempts
  • The smell of gas without ignition when the oven is turned on

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Burner Ignitor (Part Number: OEM18042585)

1 Answer

tom, the error code you have listed is a door latch error. Check the door latch switches for continuity and the motor to make sure it is in the proper position.

RShank66, With this issue, it would most likely be weak bake coils not allowing the gas to flow properly or shutting down sooner than it should. This would require the gas valve to be replaced.

Thomas, The oven igniter could be the issue with the unit but if this is not the part that corrects the issue then you would need to have a new control board.

Janie for Model Number KGRT600HBL5

I think I need an ignitor...but is there one for the oven and one for the broiler or does one control both? I think 2? Sometimes the oven heats to temp (but it may take long!) some times I have to shut it off and on a couple times. The broiler does not flame.... The ignitor that I can see on the top of the oven is red but NO flame comes out of the broiler holes.... Should I buy 2 ignitors? I do not have one of those testers and I couldn't afford the 40 dollars they wanted for one at Lowes... I was going to buy a new range but I do not like any of them and have decided to try and fix this one...When I first got it new the service guy (under warrantee) came and replaced the ignitor a couple times...It was the same problem then as now so that is why I think it is the ignitor..Thanks for any help... janie

Janie, Both the upper and lower burner has an individual igniter. To determine if the igniter is the issue you will need to test the safety valve to see if it is getting proper voltage. Test for 3.2-3.6 vac 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

Hello Bernard, This sounds like a gas supply issue. You should have the utility board come out and check the gas pressure. If this is good, the only thing it can be is a stopped up burner 9751367.

Cam, You have " Hot Surface" glow bar igniters in your oven WP7432P136-60 . The best and easiest way to check the igniter is with a "clamp on" ammeter, clip the arm around one of the igniter wires and program a bake cycle. You should read a 3.2 to 3.6 amp draw on the meter in approximately 30 to 40 seconds, if not, or it takes too long, it is an indication of a "weak" or inoperative igniter. Weak igniters account for 95 % of gas oven temperature issues, so it's a pretty common issue.
