Byron March 20, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXSY0 I replaced the gas valve when my oven became inoperative. Everything works now, but the odor of rich fuel is bad. My oven is operating on propane. I did not see an option for propane or NG when purchasing. Any suggestions? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Byron. You need to flip the regulator on the gas valve to lp and adjust the orifice on the valve to the proper flame. All blue and no yellow in the flame. Read More...
Richard B March 17, 2013 for Model Number Maytag MGR7662 WB Is it possible to adjust the oven temperature response range? Using an industrial thermocouple, I found that if the oven is set for 350, the actual temp cycles down to 330 and up to 400. Shouldn't it be + or - 15 degrees max?
1 Answer Richard, With an oven sensor in the unit the temperature differential should only be a 5 to 10 degrees. This issue sounds like you may have a bad oven sensor WPW10181986. Read More...
Heather February 26, 2013 for Model Number SF368LEPB2 I have a Whirlpool Range and the burners light but the oven doesn't. For both broil and bake settings I get 2 clicks but it doesn't light. There is no gas smell. I've heard spark module, Regulator, Ignitor Switch and Valve. How do I find out exactly what it is that I need to get? Thanks!
1 Answer Heather, You will want to test your oven safety valve to make sure that it is good. The way to do this is to check for 216 ohms on the terminals bake to common and broil to common on the safety vavle. If it does not read 216 then the valve is bad and will need to be replaced. You can also do an amp draw on the ignitor to ensure that you are getting 3.2 to 3.6 amps. If not then ignitor is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Dawn V. February 20, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXSQO Good morning, my oven will not turn on, heat up, nothing. When I turn on the bake function, timer comes on and counts down but oven will not do nothing. There are no clicking sounds as if the ignitor was trying to ignite the gas. I do not smell any gas when I turn the oven on, however, when I turn the broiler on, there are 2 clicks tryng to ignite the broiler but still nothing, no gas smell either. I was told by my brother this might be some sort of valve, could you please let me know? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Dawn. If there is no clicking in the bake mode, then you need to test and see if the control is sending power to the module. If not, replace the control. If so, replace the module. It would not be the valve preventing the igniter from sparking. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Dawn February 20, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXSQ 0 My oven is not lighting or heating up, I go to heat it up and nothing, However, my top burners are working fine, electric start works, gas to burners work. Just my oven not turning on to heat up. Need to know if the part I need is the valve gas or something different? Thank You
1 Answer Hello Dawn. You will need to check and see if the igniter in the oven is sparking. If not, then make sure the igniter is good and the wiring is good. If so, you may need to order and replace the spark module on the unit. Read More...
Santos February 10, 2013 for Model Number maytag My top burners light up and inmediatly goes down and the flame stay very small.
1 Answer Hello Santos. Make sure the gas coming to the unit is at the correct pressure. if so, the regulator may be bad and need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Chris January 20, 2013 for Model Number SF378LEPS WHIRLPOOL GAS RANGE THE OVEN STARTS AND IN A FEW MINUTES IT GOES OFF
1 Answer Chris, 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.Then you'll need to make several tests at the gas distribution valve. 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(within 10%) repalce the oven bake burner and igniter. Here's a link to meter usage, should you need it. [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html] Read More...
Kaisa January 07, 2013 for Model Number SF362LXSQ-0 My oven will not heat up. When I push start to preheat there are 2 clicks, then it starts counting down but no heat. I replaced the ignitor... still doesn't work. You can smell gas coming out.
1 Answer Hello Kasia. If there is no spark, you will need to order and replace the module WPW10331686 on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Raul. No, if the solenoid is bad, you will need to order and replace the gas valve WPW10293048. Read More...
Yvonne December 11, 2012 for Model Number GS563LXSS0 My Wirlpool oven not working. I hear the electronic ingnation working but no heat or flame but top of stove gas working.
1 Answer Hello Yvonne, You would want to check the coils on the gas valve for resistance. You should have 216 ohms across both terminals 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. If you do not have 216 ohms then you have a bad gas valve WPW10293048 and will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
