Whirlpool WFG371LVB gas oven won't stay on. Already replaced igniter. Any other suggestions?

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.

gas? if so then your igniter needs replacing (most likely) less possible the safety valve not operating correctly

Most likely the oven igniter has failed. Turn the unit to bake, the gas should come on within 35 to 60 seconds (at the most). If not, replace the bake igniter. DO NOT TOUCH THE BLACK PORTION OF THE IGNITER with your fingers, this is true for old and new.

The Whirlpool SF357 (SF357PEKQ0 specifically) does not have a pilot light; only the electric igniters that light the gas on demand for both the range and the cooktop.

On my gas ovens, checking the ignition is easiest with the warming drawer removed and the cover plate removed from the oven. Do you see a glow at the igniter? If yes, then the igniter is probably working. If not, check that the wiring harness between the igniter and the control board is connected and giving the appropriate power.

The next thing to check is that the oven gas valve is open. (Mine have a separate valve here.) Then check that nothing is blocking the gas line and that the regulator is opening and closing properly. We had an old oven that would start the gas flow and come up to temperature normally during the pre-heat time. However, when the oven cooled, the regulator wouldn't reopen thus the oven wouldn't stay at temperature. The regulator could be forced to open with a tap to the mechanism when the oven needed to come back to temperature.

Whirlpool has manuals and parts lists for the SF357 ranges on their site. https://www.whirlpool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/OCManualsLiteratureSearchResultView?catalogId=10561&langId=-1&storeId=10211 . The installation guide is here: https://www.whirlpool.com/digitalassets/MLPDF/Installation%20Instructions%20-%208273169.pdf . The owner's manual is here: https://www.whirlpool.com/digitalassets/MLPDF/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%208522776.pdf .

I hope this helps.

(In the case of our old oven, we replaced the entire range. The difference in price between a new range and the needed parts (and labor) to fix the old one were nearly the same.)

the ignitor is weak and needs to be replaced

the ignitor may be faulty and not pulling enough power to keep the as valve open in order to light them oven, even though it is getting red or glowing the power is not enough.try and replace the ignitor

You need to replace the oven ignitor. This is located under the bottom pan of the oven. Take out the racks and then remove the 2 screws from the back section of the lower plate. Then you will find the ignitor. The ignitor may still get red but the ignitor has to draw enough current to open the gas valve. This is a very common problem. Replace the ignitor and this will fix your problem.

i would check the wiring tothe gas valve, sounds as if you wired incorrectly

two things come to mind a faulty safty valve thats the device that the ignighters connect to the other maybe trash stopping the screen on the pressure regulater are any codes displayed on the clock
