Whirlpool WP9782065 Oven Burner Ignitor OEM Part

Troubleshot the oven by checking the broiler which worked good (same fuel valve). After reading the some tips about troubleshooting the Glow Ignitor I could see the broiler ignitor got white hot and the oven ignitor only got bright orange (orange to red causes intermittent ignition or mini explosions). Watched the how to video and it was good information. You should be observant about which openings in the back of the oven as to where the two wires are coming out of. My oven is over 12 years old and I had to use a Dremal to cut the heads off the four screws retaining the flame spreader (piece of metal over the burner). The screws I ordered from the Illustrate Parts Breakdown were not the correct thread type so I had to go buy four more from HD. Replacing the Glow Ignitor was an easy task after watching the DIY video. Replacing the lightbulb is an ongoing issue. I need to troubleshoot that a little more. Changed out the bulb (no help). I think the socket has been heat damaged because my renters removed the light lens and broke the bulb off down to the socket which I had to remove with needle nose pliers (disconnect the electrical first). But the oven works great! I've always receive great reliable support from ApplicancePartsPro. On this particular oven I've changed out; the wiring harness going to the stove top burner valves, oven door glass, stove top burner valves, plastic end pieces and now the oven glow ignitor. I recommend and I let others know about this website. Semper Fi

I purchased the oven burner ignition and installed it. It took me nearly 30 minutes because the space I had to work in is very small. I was also in the middle of a bidding war on eBay at the time. I watched the video available on appliancepartspros.com twice. I was amazed that I only needed three tools: phillips screwdriver, flat head screwdriver and a pair of pliers. First, I disconnected the oven from the electricity. Then, I removed the oven door. It makes accessing the part much easier. Removing the door required no tools at all. Then, I used the phillips screwdriver to remove the heat shield. I removed two screws which held the ignition in place. Then I went to the back of the oven and removed three screws to remove the rear cover. I later realized that I probably should have also removed the lower rear cover as well to make access to one of the wire connectors easier. But, I was in a bit of a rush and the space was tight so I didn't want to bother with that. I found both wire connectors and separated them and from the front of the oven, pulled out the ignitor. I needed the pliers to pull apart the wire connectors because they seemed fused together, not allowing me to pry them off with the screwdriver as shown in the video. Installation took slightly longer because I couldn't fish the wires through the hole in the back. There was too much insulation that I couldn't even see the exit hole and each time I pushed the wires through, they would get stuck. As a solution, I cut a wire hanger and then twisted it around the wires of the ignition. I was then able to put it through the hole in the back of the oven very easily. I connected the wires in the back, using the pliers again to reach one of the wires (which I mentioned before, would have been easier to reach if I had also removed the lower back cover from the oven chassis). Once everything was connected, I put all the screws back in place, attached the heat shield and tested it. The oven turned on like a charm! Then I replaced the back cover, and went back to my eBay. If I had more space

(ME: a 64 year old retired female computer programmer analyst) 0) Unplug stove and turn off the gas. I took off the oven door, though you can do it without doing that. And of course you would have had to move the stove away from the wall so that you can get to the back to work on it and have access to the plus and gas valve. 1) Unscrewed the bottom cover that is over the gas jets. 2) Unscrewed the bracket that connects the ignitor the oven wall, then unscrewed the ignitor from that.(the screws that held the ignitor on to the bracket were hard to get off and I loosened them with my electric screw driver, but had to use pliers to twist and pull to unscrew them the rest of the way) 3) Went around to the back of the stove and took off the back stove panel that covers the wires and found the correct ignitor wires for the oven. I noted the differences in the disconnected wires so that I would know what went back were. 4) I taped a string to the two loose wires of the old ignitor before I pulled them through, so that I would have something to pull the wires of the new ignitor with.(Oh you might want to use latex or plastic gloves as I got bits of fiberglass or something on my hands and wrist. If you do that just wash them with COLD sudsy water) 5)Went back to the front of the oven carefully pulled out the wires, untapped them from the string, screwed the new ignitor back on to the bracket, taped it's wires to the string. 6) went around to the back, pulled the new wires through, untapped them and connected them to their appropriate wires, and screwed the back cover on to the stove. 7) around to the front of the oven, screwed the bracket to the stove 8) around the back, turned the gas back on. .. plugged in the stove and tested. It worked! then I screwed the cover back on over the oven jets at the bottom of the stove.

I went to the Internet and found videos and stories on similar failures. Since the broiler worked, I felt there was a good chance that the gas valve was not the culprit. I was also able to find a posting from a pro who mentioned there was an 86% chance that my problem was a bad igniter. I ordered the igniter (Whirlpool- exact replacement), received it in 2 days with standard shipping, and in less than an hour, with the help of a Phillips head screwdriver, the part was replaced and the oven was functioning as designed. It now goes from 0-350 in 360 seconds. I would order again from Appliance Parts Pros without question. Thanks for your help!

I ordered a replacement igniter for the oven. I watched the repair video on the ApplianceParts PROS web site. The part came in the mail within 2 days, and took about 15 minutes to install. The oven has worked like new since. So glad I found the web site and will definetely be using it again. Total cost of repair was $100.00 less than estimate I received from my local repair service.
