Whirlpool Oven will not light Model SF385PEE Help its Turkey time

The valve is 'seized'. Grease gets into them and over time turns acidic corroding the valve from the inside out. Replace the valve. Any appliance parts seller can get it for you. Turn off the gas before starting repairs!

Just had a repairman here today March 31, 2010 for the same problem. $350 repair bill. There was a short in the gas valve that cause it to go bad and it also blew out the ignitaion computer board. Forget about replacing the ignitor. I already did and that was not the problem. So the qauestion for you is pay for the repair or buy a new stove.

troubleshoot a whirlpool stove mdl# SF367FEYW4. The broiler works fine but the oven wont light.

HI. this will be a EEPROM check-sum error code. Follow the instructions below to address this issue.

1. Disconnect power for at least 30 seconds.
2. Re-apply power and observe for at least one minute.
3. If code re-appears, replace control board (also called ERC or clock).

Hello, Yes your igniter is going to be bad on this one...even if you see that it lights the igniter is old and should be glowing a brillient yellow..I would replace the igniter and you will be good to go. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to comment. Good Luck! Mike

From what you've described and what I understand; the only part that requlates the gas flow "low or intermitten gas flow/pressure" is the "gas pressure regulator" located where the incoming gas flex-line connects directly.

The pressure regulator is about 3" x 3" metal square blockish' type device and can be replaced fairly easy. However, if and when replacing the pressure regulator, ensure you are using the proper gas - yellow teflyon tape of pipe dope paste to thread in the new part.

What is the model number of the range? (free standing - gas pilot only)

(The above suggestion is assuming you have the proper gas supply pressure to your home/range)

Replace the regulator on the gas line.

the solution that the recommended appliance reapir person told me for my whirlpool electric range oven not coming on and a display of E1 F1 was to replace the digital control center with new one for $425, this is after an $89 service call to just tell me what was wrong. Since the range cost only $645 I will probably instead learn to bake with the convection part of teh microwave /convection oven I got last year for $295, and hope the obsolescence engineer at whirlfool has a burnt thanksgiving turkey and fallen cakes. this problem w/ the oven not working occurred while I was on vacation and the power company had a light out problem in our neighborhood then I guess sent a power surge back on and did my six year old oven in. Should have kept my old simple gas range.
