My oven won't light. When I turn it on you can hear the ignitor clicking, but it won't light. Same with the broiler. All the top burners work fine.

If your Whirlpool oven ignitor clicks but the oven won’t light, it may be due to one or more of the following reasons:
1. High Ignitor Resistance: If the ignitor has high resistance, it won’t allow enough current (2.5 to 3.6 amps) to flow through the bimetal coil. This prevents the bimetal arm from heating and opening the gas safety valve.
2. Low Current Flow: If the ignitor is not fully heated, the current remains low. This keeps the gas valve closed, so gas does not reach the burner.
3. Defective Ignitor or Bimetal Coil: A faulty ignitor or bimetal coil can prevent proper heating and current flow, stopping the gas valve from opening.
4. Gas Valve Issue: If the gas safety valve does not open even when the bimetal arm is heated, the gas cannot reach the burner.
In summary, the most likely cause is that the ignitor is not producing enough heat or current to open the gas valve.

ACCUSIMMER™ BURNER The AccuSimmer™ (right rear) burner is designed to provide 550 B.T.U.s for precise, low-heat cooking. THE VENTURI SYSTEM The exclusive sealed gas venturi burners provide precise, even flame control so that each burner stays lit, even under sudden draft conditions. Airflow to the front and rear burners is adjusted at the front of the venturi by prying the slots open or closed, or by rotating the air shutters.
OVEN DOOR REMOVAL The procedure for removing the oven door is the same for both gas and electric ranges. The door removal is different from previous ranges. To remove the door: Open the door half way and install a nail or a screw into the hinge hanger holes on both sides of the door.
REMOVING A MAINTOP Push the front of the maintop to the left and lift the left corner, then unclip and lift the other corner, and raise the front of the maintop. PUSH TO SIDE AND LIFT TO UNCLIP Slide the maintop to the right and remove the left hinge pin from the hinge bracket, then free the right hinge pin from its bracket, and remove the maintop.

OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM The oven door lock system uses a solenoid-activated, push-push mechanism. The oven door will lock as soon as it is closed and the CLEAN function is programmed into the Electronic Oven Control (EOC). When the solenoid is activated, the plunger extends, and the actuator rod moves the latch to lock the door.
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION AMPS = VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY RESISTANCE A cold ignitor has a high resistance. When the oven control relay closes— OVEN CONTROL RELAY Current flows through the ignitor and the bimetal coil. OVEN CONTROL RELAY High ignitor resistance causes low current flow through the bimetal coil. As the ignitor heats up, its resistance decreases.
Page 20
Lower ignitor resistance increases the current flow through the bimetal coil. When the ignitor is fully heated, its resistance is low. Low resistance causes maximum current to flow through the bimetal coil (2.5 to 3.6 amps). OVEN CONTROL RELAY As the bimetal coil heats, it heats the bimetal arm inside the gas safety valve. CURRENT FLOW (IGNITOR...
