Hotpoint RGB744GEV2WH gas range Parts

Your Hotpoint oven’s model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label; once you find it, match it exactly (letters and numbers) when ordering parts. For this gas range, the model number format looks like RGB744GEV2WH.

Where to find the model number label

On most Hotpoint gas ranges, the rating label is in one of these common spots:

• On the oven frame behind the storage drawer (pull the drawer out)
• On the oven frame behind the broiler drawer (if your range has one)
• Along the door frame or front frame area visible when you open the oven door
• Under the cooktop near the burner box area (less common)

How to read the model number correctly

Model numbers are easy to misread. Use these checks before you buy a part:

• Copy the model number exactly as shown, including any suffix letters
• Treat 0 (zero) and O (letter O) as different characters
• Treat 1 (one) and I (letter I) as different characters
• Use the full model number, not just the brand name (Hotpoint) or a partial series
• If there is a serial number, record it too; it helps confirm production details

Quick checklist: what to write down

What to capture	Example	Why it matters
Model number	RGB744GEV2WH	Ensures correct part fit

On the Hotpoint RGB744GEV2WH gas range, an F2 code means the control is detecting an over-temperature condition in the oven (temperature reading is too high). This is usually caused by a bad oven temperature sensor circuit, a wiring problem, or a failing electronic control.

What to do first (safe, quick checks)

• Press Clear/Off to stop the alarm and let the range cool.
• If the oven was running, keep the door closed until the temperature drops.
• Turn off power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power to reset the control.
• If F2 returns with the oven off or right after starting bake, focus on the sensor and wiring.
• If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, shut off the gas supply and have service performed.

Most common causes of an F2 code

Likely cause	What you may notice	Typical fix
Oven temperature sensor out of range	F2 during preheat, uneven temps	Test sensor resistance; replace sensor if out of spec
Loose/burned wiring between sensor and control	Intermittent F2, worse when hot	Repair/replace damaged wires or connectors
Electronic oven control problem	F2 persists after sensor checks	Replace control (board/clock)

How we recommend diagnosing it

1. Disconnect power before accessing wiring.
2. Inspect the sensor harness and connectors for heat damage or corrosion.
3. Use a meter to check the sensor circuit; many range sensors read about 1,080 ohms at room temperature (a large deviation points to a sensor or wiring issue).
4. If the sensor circuit tests good, the control is the next most likely failure.

Why it matters

An F2 code is the range telling you it cannot reliably control oven temperature. Addressing it quickly helps prevent overheating, poor baking results, and repeated shutdowns.

If you need to open panels to inspect wiring, we recommend using the right tools and safe testing methods from our must have tools for appliance repair guide.

On the Hotpoint RGB744GEV2WH gas range, the oven igniter is mounted inside the oven burner area, typically along the bake burner tube near the rear of the oven floor. You usually access it by removing the oven racks and lifting out the oven bottom panel (and often the flame spreader/heat shield).

What you’ll see once you’re in the burner area

In most Hotpoint gas ovens, the igniter is a small, flat “glow bar” style part attached to a bracket beside the bake burner. It sits close enough to the burner ports to light the gas when it heats up.

• The igniter is not on the cooktop; it’s in the oven cavity under the oven bottom.
• It’s mounted next to the bake burner, not centered over it.
• It connects to the range wiring with a plug or wire nuts under the oven floor.
• If your oven has a broil burner, that igniter (if equipped) is usually at the top of the oven.

Quick access steps (typical)

1. Turn off power to the range (unplug or switch off the breaker).
2. Shut off the gas supply valve.
3. Remove oven racks.
4. Remove the oven bottom panel to expose the bake burner.
5. Locate the igniter attached to the burner area and follow its wires to the connector.

Symptoms that point to a weak igniter

A failing igniter often still glows but does not pull enough current to open the gas valve reliably.

Symptom	What it usually means
Igniter glows, oven heats slowly	Igniter is weak and not drawing proper amperage
Igniter glows, no flame	Igniter weak or gas valve not opening
No glow at all	Igniter open, wiring issue, or control problem

Why it matters

The igniter is the “starter” for the bake burner. When it weakens, you can get delayed ignition, no heat, or inconsistent baking temperatures. If you’re also troubleshooting surface burners, the ignition system may involve parts like the range surface burner igniter WB18X26988 or the spark module WB20K5037.

In the United States, Hotpoint gas ranges (including model RGB744GEV2WH) are made and sold under GE Appliances, which is owned by Haier. Hotpoint is a brand name, and the company behind it can differ by region.

Who makes Hotpoint by region?

Hotpoint branding is licensed/owned differently depending on where the appliance is sold.

• United States and the Americas: GE Appliances (Haier)
• Europe: Hotpoint is part of Beko Europe (a joint venture involving Arçelik and Whirlpool)
• Parts and service: Always match parts to your exact model number, not just the brand name

Why model number matters for parts

Even when the brand name is the same, the manufacturer and design can vary by region and by model series. For the best fit on Hotpoint RGB744GEV2WH, we recommend matching by model number first, then selecting the exact replacement part.

Here are a few examples of model-matched parts you might see for this range:

What you are fixing	Example part on this model	What it affects
Surface burner not sparking	Range surface burner igniter WB18X26988	Ignition at the cooktop burner
Oven light out	40a15bulb 40A15	Interior oven light
Weak or unstable gas flow symptoms	Range pressure regulator WB19K10055	Gas pressure into the range

Quick tips before ordering

• Confirm the full model number on the rating plate: RGB744GEV2WH
• Compare your old part’s markings to the replacement listing (when available)
• If multiple similar screws/guards are listed, match by location and description
• For electrical diagnosis (spark/ignition issues), use safe testing practices and proper tools

Why it matters

Knowing who makes the range helps you understand why parts are branded GE/Hotpoint and why model-specific matching is critical for fit, gas safety, and reliable ignition.

If a surface burner on your Hotpoint RGB744GEV2WH gas range will not light, the most common causes are a dirty burner head/igniter area, a misaligned burner cap, moisture after cleaning, or an ignition failure (bad igniter, switch, or spark module). Start with cleaning and drying the burner parts, then check for consistent sparking.

Quick checks (fastest fixes first)

• Make sure the burner cap is seated flat and centered on the burner base.
• Dry everything thoroughly if the cooktop was recently cleaned (moisture can stop ignition).
• Clean clogged burner ports with a soft brush or toothpick (do not enlarge the holes).
• Confirm the knob is turning to LITE and you hear rapid clicking.
• Try lighting a different burner; this helps narrow down whether the issue is local or system-wide.

What the symptoms usually mean

What you see/hear	Most likely cause	What to do next
No clicking on any burner	Ignition circuit issue (switch, wiring, module)	Check power, then inspect switches and wiring; test the module
Clicking but no flame	Gas not reaching burner or ports clogged	Clean ports; verify gas supply is on
Sparks, lights sometimes	Weak/dirty igniter area or moisture	Clean and dry; re-test
One burner never sparks	Failed igniter or switch for that burner	Inspect/replace the burner igniter

Parts that commonly fix a “won’t light” burner

If cleaning and cap alignment do not solve it, these model-compatible parts are common culprits:

• Range surface burner igniter WB18X26988 (creates the spark at the burner)
• Spark module WB20K5037 (sends spark voltage to one or more burners)

Safety and troubleshooting tips

• Turn off all burner knobs and ventilate the area if you smell gas; do not keep clicking the igniter.
• Unplug the range (or switch off the breaker) before inspecting wiring or replacing ignition parts.
• If the burner lights with a match but will not spark, focus on the igniter, switch, and spark module.

Why it matters

A burner that will not light is usually a simple airflow/ignition issue, but repeated clicking without ignition can wear ignition components and can allow unburned gas to accumulate if the valve is open.
