Oven Not Working - Whirlpool Range Model # SF3020EGW

[kihtap]

I have a Whirlpool Super Capacity 465 model # sf3020egw. When I try to start the oven, the igniter begins glow and the burner tube lights up, but the flame is very small about 1-2 inches on both sides of the burner tube. Sometimes the flame extends across the base of the oven, like it should, but most of the time its just a very small flame. Occasionally, the igniter turns bright orange and the burner tube does not light up at all. What could be the case for the burner tube flame to not fully come out?

Thanks,

Hi,

It sounds like your oven igniter glow bar is starting to go out.

Whats the last digit after the W in your model number? It should be a 0 or 1.

i believe its "0", not able to clearly read it. I replaced the igniter and it working good now.

Thanks!

Ok, if thats a "0" Your model# is SF3020EGW0
