Always confirm your appliance model number before ordering to guarantee compatibility.

Function & Importance

The ignitor is one of the most essential components in a gas range. The WP31940001 oven ignitor generates the heat necessary to open the gas safety valve and ignite the burner flame. Without a functioning ignitor, the oven cannot reach or maintain the desired temperature, and in many cases, it will fail to heat altogether. Installing a genuine OEM ignitor ensures safe ignition, efficient fuel usage, and accurate temperature control during cooking.

A failing or weakened ignitor is one of the most common causes of oven heating problems. Replacing the WP31940001 at the first signs of malfunction helps prevent further damage to your oven’s burner system and restores reliable baking performance.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement

You may need to replace your Whirlpool oven ignitor if you experience:

• Oven not heating or taking too long to preheat

• Weak or no glow from the ignitor

• Gas smell before ignition

• Oven that starts heating but shuts off quickly

• Inconsistent temperatures, uneven baking, or undercooked food

• Clicking, popping, or delayed ignition

These signs indicate a worn or failing ignitor that is no longer generating sufficient heat to open the gas valve.
