The oven electronic ignition is bad, very common, to replace remove oven door and the grate shelf, then unscrew bottom panel inside oven , you will see the ignition device towards the back unscrew it and unplug the the electrical plug to remove and replace it. I found them cheaper on line, like Sears parts center, it takes about 15 minutes to change out.

    We replace it already. I lights then when it has to kick back on it won't light. Any other ideas? Thank you

    Possible the new one is bad as well, anything changed when you replaced it? The thermostat could be affecting it as well

My Electrolux Eog6330xn oven cuts out after about an hour and the ignighter then constantly sparks. the oven then has to be turned off to cool down before it will relight. Any advice.

Hello there Gary and welcome to FIXYA

Usually when an oven won't bake properly or stops baking , it's because the bake igniter is weak or burned out. The igniter is a small, round or rectangular device, that's about 1 inch by 4 to 8 inches. It's near the burner itself. The burner is the tube-type device the gas flows through before it's ignited. It has many small holes on the sides to let the gas, when ignited, form a long, low flame. If the igniter is weak, if it glows red but doesn't get hot enough, or if it's burned out, the gas doesn't flow to the burner and the burner won't ignite. If this is the problem, you may need to replace either the igniter or the gas safety valve. Usually the igniter is to blame. I would disconnect the power to the oven then unplug the wiring assy and remove the part then clean all of the terminals really good then reassemble it then try the oven again if it still does not work properly i would go ahead and replace that part ok
Please keep me posted on how this is going i can give you more help but this is the most common problem ok?
Best regards Mike

I have a Whirlpool super capacity 465 gas oven that won't stay lit. It often lights up the first time just fine but then it turns off which is normal but when it tries to relight itself the ignitor...

That sound to me like yall have some carbon buildup on the igniter. On this stove the igniter does 2 jobs. It lights the burner and verifies back to the control that Houston we has ignition. If junk is built up on that ignitor then she won't be sending verification of ignition back to the control. That white residue needs to be removed. NOTE: I don't have your model number I am going by what you describe that this stove is a Direct spark ignition model. If you have a normal ignitor it probably is weak and not drawing 3.5 amps to open the valve. Post a model number (bottom drawer frame)

Brand new Whirlpool WFG371LVS Range has a burner that is leaking and when it comes on, it's huge. If you turn on the other burners when it's on, the huge flame gets smaller with every burner you...

It seems to me that espically if brand new and this happened th efirst time you used it,the gas pressure regulator was set for propane at the factory instead of natural gas

as far as for the leak that valve needs to be replaced in warranty but the decreasing flame size is due to incorrect regulator setting
