Whirlpool Oven/stove Repair – Akron, OH (WFG114SVB0)

A Whirlpool oven on Chalker Street in Akron wasn’t igniting, leaving the homeowner without baking capability. The stove was fully functional but the oven does not sound like its igniting. Our diagnosis revealed a failed bake ignitor that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the oven is not working. The stove was fully functional but the oven does not sound like its igniting. This is a classic symptom of ignitor failure in gas ovens.

Diagnosis

The bake ignitor had failed. When a gas oven ignitor fails, it can’t generate enough heat to open the gas valve and create the spark needed for ignition, leaving the oven unable to heat.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10918546 — bake ignitor
• Work performed: Installing a new ignitor
• Result: Ignition in 40 seconds. Preheat in 10 minutes.

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this Whirlpool model, replacing a failed ignitor is typically worthwhile. Whirlpool ovens are built to last, and an ignitor replacement can restore full functionality for years of continued service. This is a common wear item that’s cost-effective to replace on most gas ovens.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Ovens

• Keep the oven interior clean to prevent grease buildup around the ignitor area
• Avoid using aluminum foil on the oven bottom, which can interfere with proper airflow
• Have the gas connections inspected annually to ensure safe operation
