Default Oven won't light
Model Number: SF367PEYN7   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: More than 10 years   

Oven won't light, broiler will. If I tap on the gas valve, it will sometimes let the gas flow, and it will light. not sure how to get an amp reading off igniter. valve is 3.3 to 3.6 amps. Any thoughts?

Hi marc,

The easiest way to test is with one of these. But there is really no need for that. Replace the igniter and you should be back in business.

You can purchase the original Whirlpool oven igniter your model calls for or you can save about $45 and get a Frigidaire oven igniter instead. The igniters are almost identical and either one will work just fine.

Let me know how it goes.

I went with the Frigidaire igniter, arrived today, took 15 min to install, and the oven lights great! Thanks for your help!
