My daughter's Whirlpool gas oven doesn't light, while the burners do. I've
had the same problem with my own ovens over the years, and it has always
been the igniter. I seem to recall these costing me around $30 or $35 to
replace, a risk I was willing to take on the chance it was something else!
I checked the igniter for her oven and its around $75 - a bit more of a risk
if the problem is something else.

It is a bottom line oven - probably could replace with a similar model for
around $300. No electronics involved (doesn't even have a clock). Is there
much else that could be the cause of this problem? Worth risking the $75
that the igniter is the problem?

Thanks!

Hi,

Worth risking the $75
that the igniter is the problem?

The ignitor can be checked with an amp meter if it is glowing but no
flame. If the ignitor is dead, power to the ignitor and no go = new
ignitor time.
