Randy J November 11, 2016 for Model Number WFG381LVB1 The broiler and oven do not work correctly. When either is turned on we get clicking for the spark and it will light and go out right away or they will burn for a short time and then go out. I think this part here may be the problem. Whirlpool Range/Stove/Oven Safety Valve WPW10293048. The resistance on each terminal is to read 216 ohms I get 196 ohms on one side and 200 ohms on the other side. Should I replace this part?
1 Answer Randy, According to the readings that you are getting the oven safety valve WPW10293048 would need to be replaced. Read More...
Raymond November 10, 2016 I have a Maytag oven model number mgr7662ws1. My problem is that the bake part of the over only ignites for a few seconds then goes out,. Then retry without success. I cleaned the ignitor and still no success. The boiler and stove works fine.
1 Answer Raymond, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty oven gas valve which is part number WPW10296793A. Read More...
Megan September 08, 2016 My whirlpool oven model WFG231LVBO the top stove burners light but when I press the oven or broiler to preheat it does not heat up or even light what could that be?
1 Answer Hello Megan. 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. 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...
Ray M August 17, 2016 for Model Number SF362LXST0 Starting recently, neither the bake nor broil burners will light, while the stove burners all work fine. When the broil button is pushed, two clicks are heard at the broil igniter shortly thereafter, but I cannot see a spark. When the bake button is pushed, the clock countdown begins, but no clicks occur in the oven at the igniters. No flame shows up at all in the oven at either burner for either the bake or broil function. What is the most likely problem? Is there a way to check these spark igniters in the oven? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Ray. It sounds like the spark module WPW10331686 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Mp August 13, 2016 for Model Number WFG374LVS1 I believe my safety valve may be broken (part #: AP6018899) I have gained access to it and am trying to confirm what resistance values I should be reading across the connections but have not been able to find a listing of the required values. Can you provide them, or is it merely supposed to read 0 resistance across them all?
Eric May 29, 2016 for Model Number GW395LEPS03 Had a lightning strike. Whirlpool Accubake appears to be working, i.e., electronic control is working. However, no spark on burners, oven, or broiler. Gas is working. Suspecting spark module. Is there only one spark module? I wouldn't think is was the gas valve itself, but maybe what controls it?? Thoughts? Thanks.
1 Answer Eric, You're pretty much on target, the DSI Spark Module WPW10331686 is the more likely problem. It's located in the control panel console, and supplies the high DC voltage to all the igniters including the bake and broil. If you have a multi meter the valve is an easy test, the valve has three terminals on top. The center terminal is the common terminal, between the center terminal and either of the outer terminals should have a resistance reading of 215 ohms resistance. If the resistance is in range the gas valve coils are OK and the valve should operate. The WPW10331686 DSI Spark Module is in stock and available at this time. Thanks Read More...
Guenthernet March 01, 2016 for Model Number GS460LEKT0 My gas range is 14 years old and converted to work with LPG. I have noticed a gas smell coming from the drawer/oven. Had the LPG tank company here. Passed line pressure test. Still there is a noticeable smell. The tech was able to detect that it comes out of the combo control unit/safety valve which is one part in this model. It doesn't have the little white cap that's shown in the product pics on your website for the Valve Gas (whirlpool-valve-gas-w10293048). Precisely that spot appears to be the leak. Is this a DIY job if I get the part for someone very handy, but no experience with gas lines? Is there any bit of the LPG conversion that is going on in this unit, too, that I would need to carry over if I inserted the new part? Worth it in a 14yo appliance? Thanks!!
1 Answer Hello Guenthernet. You will need to order WPW10293048 for the gas valve needed. It does have to be converted over to LP gas. These are not real easy to replace, but can be done with time. Make sure you check for leaks after replacing the parts on the unit. Read More...
Garry November 23, 2015 for Model Number WFG374LVS Our oven will light ok but will only burn 1/2 flame for about 1 min.& same way with the broiler. The burners burn ok. So to me it sounds like the regulator valve. What do you think thanks Garry
1 Answer Hello Gary. Yes, it sounds like the valve for the oven is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Hope October 14, 2015 I have a Whirlpool Model GS563LXST0 the burners work perfectly but nothing inside the oven works. It does not heat to bake or broil. When you turn the oven on you hear a clicking sound to ignite the gas but nothing happens. What do you think the problem might be? Thank you for the help.
1 Answer Hope, You will want to check the oven safety valve by doing a resistance check of the coils. Go from either of the outer terminals to the center terminal and there should be a resistance of 216 ohms of resistance. Read More...
Paul October 11, 2015 for Model Number WFG381LVQ1 This oven is about 4 years old. All top burners light fine. The oven and broiler will not ignite. I replaced the gas valve and that did not help. Does this oven have two igniters one for the oven and one for the broiler? What would cause both igniters to go out at once? We have never used the broiler function. On the gas valve that I installed it appears to have a manual shut of switch on it. If it does then What position is on and off.
1 Answer Hello Paul. Check and see if the igniters are sparking. If not, then you may need to replace the control board WPW10424330. It sends the voltage to the module to cause the igniters in the oven to spark. There are 2 igniters in the oven. Read More...
