What to do if the ignitor does not glow in my Whirlpool Range?
- VvaldezcrystalAug 6, 2025
If the ignitor in your Whirlpool Range isn't glowing, start by checking the internal fuses, switches, and the 120 VAC power supply. If power is working, disconnect the oven power and remove wires at “B” and “C”. You can also disconnect or remove the ignitor and measure its resistance. The cold resistance should be between 50 and 150 Ohms. (The value of the resistance is not important as long as the ignitor is not open or shorted). Also, check for 120 VAC at the following locations, and the relay(s) on the Electronic Oven Control you are servicing. If continuity is NOT present, remove wire at “D” and probe terminals “D” and “C” for continuity. If NO continuity, replace the bimetal valve. If continuity is present at “D” and “C”, probe wires “B” and “D”. If NO continuity, replace the ignitor.
