Gas Oven won't stay lit
Model Number: SF377PEGB7 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 5 - 10 years
Please help! My gas oven will light only sometimes. It is a Whirpool Super Capacity 465 Model #SF377PEGB7. It's 6 years old. If it lights, it usually will bake for a while (maybe 1/2 hour) and then when it tries to ignite again to keep the temp it won't light. After a few failed attempts at lighting (I can hear it clicking as it tries to light) it locks up and quits baking. Very frustrating because it happens randomly, though it seems to be getting worse and more frequent. I can't even use the pre-set time bake option because I can pretty much count on it being off when I get home and the food in the oven still uncooked or half cooked. The cooktop burners work fine. Could it be the oven spark igniter?
Thanks for the help.
