Larry May 03, 2026 for Model Number WFG505M0BB2 New igniter glowing but oven doesn’t light up. I can smell gas. Is this a gas valve issue?
1 Answer Larry, Test at the oven safety valve for 3.2 to 3.6 Vac. If there is not proper power then the issue will be with the igniter. If there is proper power then check to make sure that the burner ports are not clogged and make sure that there is no obstruction of the burner. Read More...

Kyle December 08, 2025 I have a new gas stove that leaks gas on the stove top when the dial is between the off position and the ignite position. Is this a normal function or is something faulty?
1 Answer Kyle, When you turn on the burner, gas will flow until it ignites. Since there is a little space between the off position and the ignite position gas will flow. Read More...
Tina November 07, 2025 for Model Number MGR8600DH0 A service repair tech said the gas safety valve is broken and needs to be replaced. I'd like to know the the correct replacement part. I'm hoping with your tutorial, we can replace it ourselves.
1 Answer Hello Tina, and thank you for your question. The gas valve assembly WPW10602004 would be used with the model provided. With the gas supply turned off and the power cord unplugged, this can be removed from the back of the range where it will have torx head screws securing it to the frame. Read More...
Kathy March 13, 2023 for Model Number MVWC565FW2 When I start my washer, the drain pump automatically kicks in and doesn't fill. There are no lights on my control panel at all. Could the issue be the main control board?
1 Answer Kathy, based on the information provided, the main control W11654022 would be the most likely cause of failure if there is not a blockage or suds where the pressure hose connects into the tub. Read More...
Hon August 19, 2022 for Model Number agr3311wdw2 This is a gas stove. What makes the oven ignitor come on when the oven knob is not even turned on to "on"? I didnt know if it could be the safety valve that has gone bad. Any help would be great!
1 Answer Hon, the thermostat WPW10641988 would have a sticking contact if the igniter is turning on when the knob is in the off position. Read More...
Walter W May 05, 2020 for Model Number WFG320M0BB2 We have a Whirlpool gas oven/stove WFG320M0BB2 The handyman that installed it supposedly installed the right parts for it to operate on propane. The oven makes a big orange flame that seems unusually big. Food cooked in there has a black, sooty residue on it. The stove flames are mostly orange, even when you turn them way down. There is black soot on our pots and pans now. We have new propane. I don't want to call the prior handyman back out. What could be the problem and the repair? Thank you!
1 Answer Walter, This issue sounds like the unit was not switched to LP so it sounds like you may need to covert this unit to LP. Read More...
George N December 21, 2017 for Model Number WGG755S0BS01 My top oven work normal cycles and maintain 400 degrees for about 45 Minutes. Then Temperature drops, ignitor glows trying to start burner but oven does not start. Display on top shows temperature is still 400 degrees. Install new clock control board and ignitor but did not solve the problem. Can you help and suggest something
1 Answer George, You will want to check the oven sensor to make sure that it has the proper resistance when the temperature is dropping. If this checks ok then the issue will most likely be that the oven safety valve would be faulty in which when it gets too hot it stops opening. Read More...
Robert S February 05, 2016 for Model Number SF262LXSW0 Oven and broiler will not heat up, brought new oven ignitor and replaced the old one and the oven still won't heat up. When I first start the oven it goes through it's proper cycles I can hear the two clicks at the bottom of the oven and the oven will try to light but nothing happens.
1 Answer Robert, You will want to check the resistance of the oven safety valve for 216 ohms from the middle to either of the outer terminals and if the resistance is not correct then the valve is faulty and you will need part number WPW10293048. Read More...
Jeff April 05, 2015 for Model Number SF368LEPS0 When we first start our oven it starts fine, but when it tries to restart to heat back up it usually does not ignite the first time. It will usually try to ignite 3 or 4 times before it ignites if it does , sometimes it will pause and try again. I have replaced the igniter and it seems to work fine, just wondering if the problem could be the gas safety valve?
1 Answer Jeff, The most likely cause would be a faulty safety valve. When the unit coils inside the valve heat up it will cause the coils to close and have to cool down in order to open up again. Read More...
