Bake Igniter WPW10324262

Hi Jim, Thank you for your question. There are a couple of parts that you should check. I would suggest testing your igniter and make sure that the part is working correctly. You would smell gas because your valve is open to start working. If your igniter is fine you may have to change your spark control module. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Bill, thank you for writing. The scent of gas is normal for a few seconds after turning the oven on, but should dissipate quickly. If it does not, it could indicate an issue with either the Oven Igniter part PS11753053 or the Oven Bake Igniter part PS11752876 for your model. We hope this helps.

Hello Jim, Thanks for your question. You may want to test the oven igniter with a multimeter for electrical continuity, and replace it if it shows no continuity. You should also test the oven sensor, part number PS11749737. I hope this helps.

Hi Freddie, Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, the issue may be with the oven temperature sensor. The oven temperature sensor monitors the oven temperature and signals the electronic control board to turn the elements on and off. Before removing this part from the oven and testing it for continuity with a multimeter on the Rx1 setting, unplug the oven from the electrical outlet. This test needs to be done with the sensor at room temperature to produce accurate results. The reading should be between 1080 and 1100 ohms. If you get any other reading, you will need a replacement temperature sensor. If the sensor is fine, you will need to check both the broil and bake igniters, the electronic control board, and the wiring between the parts to see which part is causing the issue. We hope this helps with the repair!

Hi Jim, Thank you for your question. We do not have any information on this part specifically however here is a video that will show you how that installation usually goes: https://youtu.be/mGM6_FxEkNE. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Eli, Thank you for your question. If the oven is not heating correctly, then the issue is likely with the oven sensor, sometimes called the oven thermostat, and you will need to check it with a multimeter. When testing the sensor with a multimeter, the sensor should be tested at room temperature and it should be unplugged from the oven. You will need to measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. Replace the oven sensor if the reading is less than 900 Ohms or more than 1200 Ohms. If the sensor checks out fine, you will need to check oven igniter, the spark module and the electronic control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Pamela, thank you for inquiring. It is possible that this may be caused by a faulty Oven Bake Igniter, this part number PS11752876 for your model range. You may also want to consider the Spark Module, part number PS11753037. You can test the ohms of resistance on the Oven Bake Igniter with a multi-meter. It should read between 40 and 400 ohms to be functioning correctly. Good luck with your repair!

Hello Gerald, Thank you for your question We have done an investigation into your model WFG540H0AS0, we have discovered that the Spark Module would be the most accurate cause of your symptoms. It is available under part number PS11753037. If the spark module is not functioning properly, it can cause the gas to feed, but not to light. We hope this helps you.

Hi Paul, Thank you for your question. If the bake igniter goes out after a few seconds, then it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
