Joshua Crist May 25, 2017 for Model Number WFG361LVS1 Oven and broiler When I enter in the tempature I can hear gas being fed, igniter click and can visually see flames after the first igniter click. However the igniter continues to click 3 times total then the oven go's into a safety shut off mode. Igniters stop clicking and gas stops being fed, flame goes out. What could possibly go bad to cause the oven to turn off after the oven appears to be functioning as intended?
1 Answer Joshua, normally you wouldn't "hear the gas being fed" to the burner, You may want to recheck and make sure you have the proper pressure, no kinks or sharp bends in the supply lines, first. Check and make sure all the venturi holes(openings) in the burner tube are clean and not obstructed(especially the area around the ignition point and travel holes around the tube. The DSI spark module has a built in safety circuit, if the igniter tip, isn't reacting to the flame(small flame) it wont signal the module that the flame has ignited and the spark module automatically shuts down . Check to make sure you have a good, proper and "solid" ground to the range. Check the gas valve solenoids for proper resistance (215 ohms, center terminal to each outside terminal) after a couple of attempts to ignite. If all is OK, replace the DSI spark module. Read More...
Drew April 03, 2017 for Model Number 665.75273501 First the broiler didnt light. A few weeks later the oven wont light. Replaced the igniters and no help. The range burners work fine. Voltage to unit 120v. Is this a gas valve problem or something in a printed circuit board?
1 Answer Drew, You will want to check to see if the igniters are sparking. If the igniters are not sparking then test the oven safety valve for 216 ohms of resistance from either of the outer terminals to the middle terminal. If the resistance is not correct then will need a new valve. If the valve checks ok then the issue would most likely be a control board issue. Read More...
Ron April 03, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool GS445LEMS 2 The oven burners for my Whirlpool Gas range were not lighting. The stove top was working fine. I was told that the gas safety valve had to be replaced. I had it replaced and now I am smelling a faint natural gas smell when the burners are not on. Any idea what the issue could be? Is it most likely the part or a problem with the installation? Thanks
1 Answer Ron, You will want to use a bubble solution around the fittings to make sure that there is no gas leak around the fittings or the orifice. Read More...
Vince March 01, 2017 for Model Number GS773LXSS0 Hi, Does the new gas valve has a silver lever type thing that can flip to an "on" position or an "off" position. Does it need to be set on the on or off setting? It appears that the original was set to the on position but I'm not sure if I might have accidentally moved it without knowing. Thanks in advance! Vince
Bryan February 05, 2017 for Model Number WFG374LVQ0 Oven will not maintain temperature. Top gas burners work great. Broiler works great Set the preheat temperature, press start and it starts right away (you hear the gas come on, and the bang of the igniter). Then it will cook for awhile and the temperature will fall and fall. The gas does not seem to be coming back on. I don't hear any bang from the igniter. Hit cancel and preset the temperature again and about half the time it goes back up to temperature. It might stay at the proper temperature for 20 minutes, but will fall. Already replaced the oven temperature sensor. Could it be a bad igniter, or valve?
1 Answer Hello Bryan, This will most likely be the bake relay on the control board WPW10424330 failing. Read More...
Steve January 29, 2017 for Model Number GS563LXSB0 Hello, Our oven works but sometimes it just shuts off randomely with no reason. it is getting worse as the unit gets older.Tell me what to do to get started on the fix.Thanks Steve
1 Answer Steve, If the oven quits heating randomly, then check or replace the oven igniter WP9758079 and DSI spark module WPW10331686 . If the range is cancelling itself or "shutting" down randomly then check or replace the membrane / key pad assembly WP9763252. Read More...
Scott M. January 15, 2017 for Model Number SF385PEGT7 Both the oven and the broiler do not ignite. The broiler makes 2 "clicks" like it's trying to ignite. There are no "clicks" associated with the bake function; however, the timer starts to count down. All four burners on the top work normally. I measured the gas valve resistance as follows: blue wire - approximately 200 ohms; red wire was infinite (no needle movement). Can you please suggest which part may need to be replaced? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Scott, From the readings you provided, this sounds like both a control WP6610290 issue and a valve WPW10293048 issue. If voltage is being sent from the control to the spark module WPW10331686, it could be the spark module instead of the control since it also ignites the bake compartment. Read More...
Brian January 10, 2017 for Model Number sf362lxss The oven and Broiler on my stove do not spark or ignite. I checked the ignitor and they both look clean and are not broken so I replaced the ignition module. The new module does not work either. After checking a few posts online I Ohmed out the gas valve and found the Broiler gas valve resistance at 215 and the oven gas valve at zero. Does a defective safety valve keep an igniter from sparking because my new module does not try to ignite. I do hear the Broiler valve clicking when testing but no spark.
1 Answer Hello Brian, This is most likely a bad control WPW10114383. If the gas valve had failed, it would not prevent the ignitors from sparking. Read More...
Ronnie S. November 18, 2016 for Model Number SF368LEPS2 I have no broil or bake, originally thought the spark module was bad so I replaced it but the symptom remains the same. I took a meter to the terminals on the gas valve. I get 0 on bake+common terminals and 0 on broil+common terminals. So I need to replace the gas valve? But how can I tell if the spark module is still potentially part of the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ronnie, It is doubtful that the gas valve is bad since the problem appears to be related to both the bake and broil functions. This is most likely an issue with the control board WP6610449 since it is a common part with both functions and the gas valve is a dual vale with seperate coils for each of the two valves contained in the assembly.

Tom November 15, 2016 for Model Number wpw10293048 gas safety valve How to test valve. Should the Oven be plugged in and turned on? Voltmeter between center and outer wires check for continuity and the buzzer beeps should I be checking for ohms ? Did continuity beep check with oven unplugged and wires pulled off the gas valve has contiuity but can it still be bad (gas valve)??
1 Answer Tom, You will disconnect the wires from the oven safety valve and check from either of the outer terminals to the inner terminals. There should be a resistance of 216 ohms across each of the connections from outer to inner. If not correct then the part is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
