Jason May 24, 2020 for Model Number Wfg540h0as1 I have tested the gas safety valve one side reads 216 other reads 213 is one bad? I try to start the oven but will not light no smell of gas but I get a spark stove top works fine
1 Answer Hello Jason, check if the oven door switch is faulty, if the control board thinks the door is open for longer then about 30-60 seconds or so it will disable oven heating entirely with no alert. Gas valve coils ohm out around 199 to 218 ohms each. Read More...
Gj G January 10, 2020 for Model Number WEG730H0DS0 Whirlpool Oven--bake burner ignites but the igniter continues to click 4 more times then the flame goes out. Repeats the same scenario each time it tries to light.
1 Answer GJG, You will want to test the oven safety valve for 216 ohms from the center pin to the outer pins. If the resistance is not correct then the valve will need to be replaced. Read More...
Billy September 22, 2019 for Model Number KGRS306BSS1 I use the digital pad to start the oven in bake mode, oven ignites but after 2-3 seconds the burner goes out, same happen with broil mode...... also cannot seem to start the oven in convection bake or broil mode either...... nothing happens in this mode at all ???
1 Answer Billy, We sent you the tech sheet in an email and you should enter diagnostics and check to see if there are any fault codes present, this is a good starting point. Also, the temp sensor should have a resistance of 1100 ohms at room temp. Most likely suspect will be the gas valve and there is a page in the tech sheet for testing. Read More...
Bob March 12, 2019 for Model Number KGRS303BWH2 I have a Kitchenaid Range Model KGRS303BWH. When I turn on the oven for normal bake cycle, the oven igniter will activate and lite the oven, but in approx. 15-30 seconds, the oven will turn off. I have replaced the igniter about 3 weeks ago, and after replacing the igniter, the oven work normal for about 3 weeks, now it is doing the same as original problem. Any ideas?
1 Answer Bob, With the oven shutting off after 25 to 30 seconds this would be a faulty oven safety valve. Read More...
Sam May 18, 2017 for Model Number WFG540H0AE0 I have gas smell inside my oven. I don't smell it when the door is closed. I checked the supply with soapy water and there were no bubbles so I think the problem is with the oven. What would you suggest to replace first? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Sam, You will need to replace the safety valve WPW10602004. If you are on LP you will need to remove the bake and broil orifices from you old part and install them on the new part in the correct positions. This will convert the part to LP. If you are on natural gas you will not have to tamper with the part before installing is as it will come from the factory set up for natural gas. Read More...
Jim February 11, 2017 for Model Number MGR8674AW0 what should the ohm readings be of the coils of the safety valve w10602004? Thanks.
1 Answer Jim, Just like the original WP gas valve, the coils should have a resistance reading of 216 ohms resistance across the coil terminals, with the wires removed " Check between each solenoid for 216? resistance. (Measure between the two Broil valve terminals the two Bake valve terminals. NOTE: Always check both solenoids. If one of the solenoids is defective, neither one will work." Read More...
Michael October 31, 2016 for Model Number WFG710H0AS The broiler works. When I use bake the oven element will light for one second then it goes out. The igniter glows briefly to ignite the element but goes out as well. Not sure if the igniter is the problem or the valve. If the vales how would I test them? Thank you
1 Answer Michael, This would most likely be caused by a weak valve and you can test the valve for 216 ohms of resistance. If this does not check ok then the valve is faulty. Read More...
Sara October 25, 2016 for Model Number MGR8674AB0 Oven Will Not Light No Sound At All Can You Give Me A Reason Why And How To Fix It?
1 Answer Hello Sara. Test for power to the spark module from the board. If it is there, and you get no spark, you will need to replace the spark module WPW10331686. 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...
Deano July 06, 2016 for Model Number WFG540H0AS1 Most of the time the oven works fine however on occasions when you try to start the oven on any setting (bake, convection, clean) you can hear the click, click, click and then no swoosh. Some times if you wait long enough it will eventually ignite. Also at times it will start fine and somewhere during the baking time it will not reingnite to keep the temp up. Can you give any recommendation on troubleshooting this problem? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Deano. You will need to make sure the burner is clean and not rusted. If so, it can cause the spark not to work properly. If all of that is good, then test the gas valve and see if it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Randy January 18, 2016 for Model Number WFG710H0AH0 I have a Whirlpool WFG710H0AH0 gas range. Both, the oven and broiler will light for 30 seconds or so and then shut off. I can't find any troubleshooting info that speaks to this issue. Can you please help me determine what needs to be replaced. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Randy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the gas valve is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
