Troubleshooting a whirlpool cleantop gas stove model # sf367peyn1. Oven works fine. The burners are electric start. The front burners barely light. The back burners light with assistance. I have purchased replacement burners & plan on installing them. Will this address the front burners problem?

Older stoves didn't have electric start so pilot stays lit on burners when power goes therefore burner will still light. Oven won't work since it probably needs electric power or has electric starter.

igniter?

It sounds like you might have a clogged burner plate or manifold. You should call a certified gas repair service. This could be very dangerous, even deadly.

if its a gas stove, replace the ignitor down by the bottom flame tube

I have a whirlpool gas stove oven fire will not go off when in off position. Is the fire suppose to go off completely?

IF YOU CAN SMELL GAS, TURN THE STOVE TAP OFF. Get it checked out immediatly.

Hi, It sounds like the ignitor has gone bad. Remove the floor panel in the oven and locate the ignitor fastened to the burner. There should be 120V going to the ignitor harness.
If you have voltage but no ignition, change the ignitor.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Gas oven won't light (by 2 users)
Posted by MBeird on Jan 18, 2008
Can hear the clicking of the auto starter when starting the oven, but it stops after 5 seconds and then the oven simply fills with gas. Broiler still works fine as do the stove top burners. Any thoughts?

Good question? You may have a plugged up burner and or the pipes or jets may not be adjusted correctly and it could be your igniter on the gas range because it is not igniting the spark to create the flame. You may want to have it check out with an authorized service repair tech to make sure it is safe and will function well. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local appliance dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.
