Hello I have a Whirlpool gas oven model number WFG231LVB1, and had to buy an igniter for it which was a model 411 for ignitor bar- it works fine but I'm not sure if it is compatible with 3.4-3.6amp

SOURCE: oven gas valve wont come on

your valve is bad replace it the ignitor needs to darw a min of 3.5 amps to open the valve if it is drawing the amps then the valve is bad

SOURCE: Oven Not Working

see if your broiler works if it does replace the bootom ignighter even though it glowes does not mean its working right it has to pull a ceartain amount of amps for the safty valve to open if the broiler doesnt light then the safty valve needs replacing and reply for futher info

SOURCE: Whirlpool 465. The top range burners will not

The bake is seperate from the burner ignition system. You may need a new spark module for the top burners. All burners should spark at the same time even if you are only trying to lite one burner.

SOURCE: stove top ignitors do not ignite but oven does.

Electric gas igniters sometimes get stuck in one position causing a clicking sound. The clicking sound that you hear is the electric arc that is pulsing from the igniter conductor (wire) to ground (the gas burner). It receives power from the electrical outlet that the stove is plugged into.
Residue from food and sometimes cleaning products may be preventing the igniter from producing a spark (Arc) to the base of the burner. This is a common problem that occurs when the stove has been cleaned or food is allowed to build up. Make sure that the igniter and the burner base are clean and dry. This will help with proper operation. Oven cleaner and a small tooth brush may be used to accomplish this. Another problem with ignition may occur if you have too little (touching) or too much space between the igniter and the base of the burner; it will prevent the burner from igniting. You should only have a little more space than the thickness of a nickel between the burner base and the igniter. A good “blue” arc from the igniter to the burner base is optimal. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the electric igniter module. Good luck.
