Mark L Kent , OH February 27, 2015 Appliance: Model WHIRLPOOL SUPER CAPACITY 465 The whirlpool super capacity 465 oven would not heat up but the broiler and stove top burners all worked so i replaced the The oven would not heat up but the broiler and stove top burners all worked so I replaced the igniter. The part arrived quicker than I expected - one day with regular shipping - and the repair also went much quicker than expected. After accessing the igniter I was able to unplug the plastic modular connection. Instead of pulling the oven out from the wall - which would have been a huge pain - I was able to reach the plug by removing the bottom storage drawer under the oven. From there it was just a matter of routing the wiring and attaching the new igniter. Just be advised that the new igniter will need to 'burn off' that new smell. I don't recall having a DIY repair go any easier. The only issue some people may have with the repair is be able to reach to the very back of the oven for access to the ignitor and getting on the floor for the disconnection/connection of the new plug.

Erik O Crystal Lake , IL September 14, 2014 Appliance: Model WHIRLPOOL SF385PEEQ0 The oven wouldn't heat I found your website and instructional videos via an internet search engine, and after seeing that probably the oven igniter was a likely cause of the problem, I watched your video on how to replace it. That gave me the confidence to try it, so I bought the part from you. One day later it arrived, and the next day I replaced the igniter. That evening my wife was baking again. Thank you! I do suggest that you add a diagnostic step to the video. In my case, I should have tried the broiler first. If that igniter wouldn't glow either, then it might be the control box that was faulty, and in that case I wouldn't have bought the igniter yet. In my case, after the part arrived, I thought to check the broiler igniter and it glowed fine. This gave me greater confidence that the problem was the lower (bake) igniter.
