Whirlpool Gas Oven/Range takes too long to ignite

Model Number: WFG231LVSO Brand: Whirlpool Age: 1 - 5 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

Whirlpool gas oven and range are both taking longer than normal to ignite. On the range I turn the knob and have to wait 30 seconds or longer before gas is present then it will ignite. When it is lit the flames seem to be a little lower than normal. On the oven when I turn it on it takes over a minute before it will actually lite. This is Mod# WFG231LVSO. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi.

Most likely you have there a bad pressure regulator and may be weak bake ignitor. You can check if you have the amp meter the amp draw of the ignitor (3.25 amp min.)

The pressure regulator Part number: 98007411

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Manifold parts for Whirlpool WFG231LVS0 - AppliancePartsPros.com

Post the results.

Simon.
