I have a whirlpool oven ( sf362lxsb ) For the last few months I knew the oven was going out, because as it was baking every 10 or so minutes you could hear clicking... I sounded like either a solenoid clicking or the sparks... It would like 5 or 6 times then stop... Now the oven does not light at all.... The stove stopped working also... After checking the valve I noticed the safety valve switch thing had tripped, I reset it and now the stove works, but the oven will not light... After researching online I learned to check the gas valve for 216 ohms... I checked and both the broiler and bake read 205/206ish so I don't think it's the valve.. I'm thinking its more likely the igniters? Whirlpool 8190618 Oven Bake Burner with Spark Igniter - AppliancePartsPros.comAm I on the right track? Thanks for your help! Pop

Hi Pop, Is it the same problem with both Bake and Broil? If the oven igniter does not click at all then the problem is a bad spark module. If the Bake igniter does click and you can hear the gas flows but there is no flame, remove the Bake burner and check the lighting holes for any restrictions. Make sure the igniter is clean and properly aligned with the burner. It's very rare for such igniter to be bad. - The spark module Part number: W10331686

i have not checked broil, but on bake i hear it trying to click, but i dont hear/smell gas
i will check the ignitors when i get home to ensure they are unobstructed/clean

The part number I posted comes up by the model number you provided.

Got home to check, bake and broil are both not functioning. I hear clicks, nothing lights... Stove still works fine.... Should I test the gas valve again with the multi meter?

The range has to be unplugged unless you need to check voltage.
