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.

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.
