Terry R. September 04, 2012 for Model Number estate The little black box in the back melted the connectors to it, i was wondering what its called?
1 Answer Terry, I believe the box you are referring to is the terminal box. May we have your model number and we will be glad to verify further. Thanks. Read More...
Terry July 14, 2012 for Model Number SF3020EGN Burners still light however the oven and Broiler do no light. I believe that it is the igniter but I guess that it could also be the safety valve?
1 Answer Hello Terry. 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.

D.M. June 27, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore - 103.7287810 We have a Kenmore model 103.7287810 gas range and the oven igniter went out on it. The part # in the Kenmore book is 300259. We haven't pulled the bad part out to see if it is flat or round. Your website says that Item Number: AP3104565 Manufacturer's Number: 4342528 (300259) Made by Whirlpool will work. Can you please verify that it does infact replace the Kenmore part. (The Kenmore part is no longer available.) I do not want to order the part if it does not fit our oven. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello D.M., The part number you inquired about 4342528 will work with your model. Read More...
Confused March 21, 2012 for Model Number SF377PEGZ1 Thank you so much! Replacing the ignitor did the trick! I didn't even test with a multi-meter - I just checked to see if the broiler ignitor works (it does!). I thought if that works, then it's not the safety valve since the valve supplies the gas to the broiler too. Anyway, you just saved me $200! (Calling someone in would have cost me $240!) and more (replacing it altogether would have cost an arm and a leg!) THANKS AGAIN! Hope everything stays working great! :)
Confused March 17, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool SF377PEGZ1 Hi, my oven is acting up. When I turn it on, it takes a very very long time to heat up to the correct temp. This last time, I even smelled gas. The bottom of the oven glows orange (is this from the igniter?) What's the problem?

J. Manfre March 02, 2012 for Model Number pgr5710bdw oven does not preheat. we smell gas . oven goes out. broiler & top burners work ok.
1 Answer Jmanfre, You're on track, on target. the oven igniter 74007498 needs to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps or supply 3.2 to 3.6 VAC wires to the safety valve. If it doesn't you'll have irratic operation of the burner, and may have an occasional gas odor. Install the correct igniter and you should be fine. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Tim February 29, 2012 for Model Number WFG381LVB0 My oven stopped lighting last week. The burners and the broiler continued to light, so I assumed the igniter was the issue. I ordered a new igniter and replaced it tonight. I tested everything to see if it would light and it started right up. However, after I put it all back together and pushed the oven back into place, the oven failed to light. When I try to turn on the oven, I hear the gas begin to release and the igniter clicking to try to spark the gas, but it won't light. Any ideas? The only idea I had was that perhaps the igniter was no contacting the gas for some reason, but I do not think that is the case as the igniter cannot be adjusted. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Tim. You will need to test for power to the bake igniter 4342528 during bake mode. If there is power coming to the igniter, and the igniter glows, but the gas does not release, you will need to replace the gas safety valve WPW10293048. If there is no power, test and see if the relay on the control board is sending out power. If not, replace the clock assembly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Sheldon J February 20, 2012 for Model Number Asked by Sheldon J for Model KGS 907 SSS00 Hi I have copy and pasted my question and your answer. This model does not have a glow ignitor, it has a spark ignitor. Please help. "Oven won't come on, I touch "Broil" and the fan comes on five seconds later sounds like valve opens and then closes 2 seconds later. Confirmed this by pulling out the oven ans can feel the click of the valve opening and closing. Dont think glow igniter is comming on. Why? I touch "Bake", no valve sounds at all, no glow igniters at all, information panel reads "preheating LO". Electric element gets hot in both cases.Please help, very confused thought I knew ovens. "Hello Sheldon. You will need to test for power coming to the igniter AP3104565. If there is power there, and the unit does not glow, you will need to replace the igniter.

1 Answer Sheldon, You were right from the start, you don't have glow bar igniters, You have a spark ignition system WP8054129 , you should be able to hear the igniters spark ( click noise) when you select a bake or broil cycle and temperature. Here are some checks to make at the gas distribution valve : First thing, check and make sure the power cord is attached to a properly polarized and grounded 120 VAC outlet. A proper ground is very important for the range to operate properly. You'll need a multi meter to test voltage and resistances. At the valve body terminals, with the wires labeled and remove from the middle terminal to each of the outer terminals, you should read 215 ohms resistance. With the wires reconnected, when you select the bake cycle, you should have a reading of 8 to 18 VDC across the red and orange wires.When you make a broil selection you should have the same 8 to 18 VDC,across the orange and blue wires. If all checks are proper replace the gas distribution valve WP9763716 If the voltages from the DSI aren't correct repalce the DSI sopark module WPW10331686 located in the control panel. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...

Joan January 26, 2012 for Model Number Caloric RSP396 I need to replace the burnt-out round ceramic-covered oven ignitor and the worn-out bracket that houses it on this oven. The description says it replaces 'all' round style oven ignitors. Your customer service rep. Brent says this item does include the bracket (others do not), but he suggested I contact you to be sure it will work in this 1970s model gas oven. If you can let me know ASAP, I can then proceed with an order. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Joan. No, the correct igniter is 786324 and the bracket is discontinued and is no longer available. You can try buying a piece of sheet metal and fabricating you one to hold the igniter, using the old bracket as a template. Hope this helps. Read More...
