WFG505M0BS1 Whirlpool - Instructions

This repair was easy as could be to screw take off the diffuser four screws in the back two little screws on the igniter

Push knob onto rob.

Repair of oven sensor easy to install; however, product did not resolve the problem. Returned new sensor and awaiting refund (2 weeks passed so far).

I watched the repair video on this site and another on YouTube before I started. The rear panel has a different shape and two additional screws on the bottom edge. The power clip was easy to manipulate.
This was an easy fix for a seventy year-old like me!

Following your installation, the old part came out easily, with new part installing easily., oven heat is being regulated properly..with range pulled out for part replacement, got that area cleaned too

I installed the Cap-Burner on the left front right, and then the gas ignited and I was able to use the stove.

the hardest part was moving stove to trplace part

Replace the broken knob, with the exact part. Per the video, I unplugged the stove, open the front door of the stove, remove the racks and drip pan below, to expose the igniter component. Removed the two screws holding the unit in. Pull the stove from the wall and removed the shield plate from the rear covering the wire connection. Disconnected the component and pushed the wires though the hole and replaced. Used soap to check the gas connection for leaks before pushing it back in place. Turned it on after remounting. Note: magnetic nut driver is a great tool to use on the mounting screws. Turned it on and saw the glow. Then replace the drip pan and racks.

Slid oven out and took back shield off unplugged sensor took bracket screw out replaced sensor with new one.

Unscrewed the feet from the floor. Pried up the range top, removed burners. Unscrewed sides of the range from wooden cabinet it was recessed into. Unplugged range from outlet. Pulled range out into the open. Removed back cover. Discovered that I have the wrong replacement part.

Igniter is in the back bottom of the oven. I had to take off the top of the broiler compartment which has 3 screws. Unplugged the igniter which has two small screws and used a magnetic nut driver. installed the new one. It took 30-45 minutes.

Turn gas off at tank. Oven rack out. 2 screws out of flame spreader and remove. 2screws from ignitor. Pull oven out from location to access rear bottom cover. 2 screws out and unplug ignitor. Guess what ? Reverse order. Not worth paying gas company over 250 dollars.

I just removed the bottom panel in oven and the igniter was right where the flames should be and I removed the two screws and replaced with new part. I replaced bottom oven panel. You need to remove rear panel and plug wire and replace rear panel. My problem was solve. It took 20-30 minutes tops.

So....the oven stopped working.
I called a local appliance guy and set up an appointment to repair.
$90 to travel here.
$50 for the part
$ labor was about $75
..then tax.
BUT then....I had a moment of clarity.
A new Oven/Range/Stove top was about $400.
This guy was over $200 to repair a 4-7 yr old stove.
So I ordered the part.
A resus monkey could have fixed the stove...I really mean it...Easy is an under-statement.
I found a tutorial on you tube (how to change an Igniter.
Literally 6 screws and unplug the igniter and install the new igniter.
Replace the screws and replug in the unit.

and that's that.

This is a cook stove that is used 5 months a year. We have not fixed it yet because we are now in Florida the stove is in New York. We ordered that part just before we left NY for FL so the repair will be done in June of 2021.
