Question posted by kimblebarker on October 25th, 2016

Oven Or Broiler Will Not Light.

I have a Model WFG361LVS 1. Neither the oven nor thwe broiler will light. When you try to start either, the spark igniter on the right front burner clicks. No spark inside the oven...slight smell of gas. Technitian said that the control board was bad. Bought one (new), repleced it...did the same thing. Apparently not the control board.

The spark electrode may be defective or worn out. This can apply to all 3 of the problems you report.

If your oven has internal fuses, a wiring or component problem could have caused a fuse to blow. A blown fuse is an indication that a component has shorted or failed, and the problem will need to be corrected. Most ovens that use fuses will have an indication of the circuits that are affected by a particular fuse. If an oven fuse has blown, then you should inspect the oven element and the associated wiring to determine the cause before replacing the fuse. Do not change the rating of the fuses. The same will apply to a fuse labeled for a surface burner. Disconnect power from the range or oven before attempting service.
