How to find Whirlpool gas range model number?
On your Whirlpool WGG755S0BS01 gas range, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label attached to the appliance. Check the label on the range itself (not the control panel); once you have the full model number, you can match the correct parts and instructions in the WGG755S0BS01 owner’s manual.
Start with the most common label locations for a 30-inch freestanding double-oven gas range:
- Open the storage drawer or warming drawer and look along the frame behind it
- Check the oven door frame area (open the lower oven door and inspect the front frame)
- Look on the side trim near the front of the range (visible with the door open)
- If the range is slightly pulled forward, check the back panel area for a rating label
We recommend recording both numbers exactly as shown:
- Model number (example format: WGG755S0BS01)
- Serial number
- Installation date (helpful for service history)
The model number is the key to getting the right Whirlpool parts and diagrams. Even small model-number differences can change which igniter, burner valve, or control fits your range.
| Item | What it identifies | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | The exact range design/version | Correct parts, manuals, diagrams |
| Serial number | Your specific unit’s production ID | Service records, manufacturing info |
- Copy the model number character-for-character (letters and numbers)
- Do not use a shortened “family” number; use the complete model number
- If the label is hard to read, take a photo and zoom in before ordering parts

Why is my Whirlpool gas stove working but not the oven?
If your Whirlpool WGG755S0BS01 cooktop burners work but the oven will not heat, the most common causes are a weak oven igniter (it can glow but not open the gas valve), a gas supply issue to the range, or an oven control setting such as Control Lock, Delay Start, or Sabbath Mode. See the WGG755S0BS01 owner's manual for the exact control checks.
- Confirm the range is plugged in and the breaker is on (the oven uses electronic controls and ignition).
- Make sure the gas shut-off valve is fully open.
- Cancel any cooking program, then start a normal Bake cycle again.
- Check for Control Lock, Delay Start, or Sabbath Mode being enabled.
- If this is the first time using the oven after installation or a gas interruption, turn on a surface burner briefly to help purge air from the gas line.
On this model, the oven uses a glow-bar igniter; when you start Bake or Broil, the igniter should glow and the burner should light (sometimes it can take up to about 60 seconds under certain conditions). If the igniter glows but the burner does not light, the igniter is typically too weak to draw enough current to open the oven gas valve.
Common fix: replace the bake igniter, such as the range bake igniter W11596211 if it matches your symptom and location.
| What you see | Most likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No glow in oven | Power/control issue, wiring, failed igniter | Verify settings and power; then test components |
| Igniter glows, no flame | Weak igniter, gas valve not opening | Replace igniter first in most cases |
| Flame lights but heat is poor | Range not level, burner/air mix issue | Level range; verify proper operation |
A weak igniter is the top reason a gas oven stops heating while surface burners still work; the cooktop uses spark ignition, but the oven relies on the glow-bar igniter to both ignite gas and allow the safety valve to open.

Why is my Whirlpool range broiler not working?
If the broiler on your Whirlpool WGG755S0BS01 isn’t working, the most common causes are a power or gas supply issue, an ignition problem (the igniter not lighting the broil burner), or a control problem. Start with the basic checks in the WGG755S0BS01 owner's manual before replacing parts.
- Confirm the range is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
- Check the household breaker or fuse (a tripped breaker can leave the oven dead).
- Make sure the gas shut-off valve and regulator shut-off valve are in the ON/OPEN position.
- Cancel the cycle, then reselect Broil and allow a few minutes for ignition.
- Listen for normal ignition sounds (clicking, whoosh, or a single “pop” as the gas valve cycles).
When you set Broil, a glow bar igniter should heat up and ignite the gas. If you do not get flame:
| What you observe | Most likely issue | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| No display, no response | Power supply problem | Verify outlet power, breaker/fuse, and cord connection |
| Igniter never glows/clicks | Failed igniter or wiring issue | Inspect wiring; consider replacing the igniter |
| Igniter glows but no flame | Gas supply/valve issue | Confirm shut-off valves are open; service gas valve if needed |
| Flame lights then shuts off | Flame sensing/control issue | Check burner/igniter alignment and connections; control diagnosis |
On this model, ignition-related failures are common. If your symptoms match, these parts are often involved:
- Whirlpool range bake igniter W11596211 (ignition component used for oven burner ignition issues)
- Range oven burner igniter WPW10324738 (another igniter option used on oven burner circuits)
- Oven electronic control (if the control is not sending power to the igniter)
A broiler that will not light is usually a “no ignition” condition. Fixing the underlying cause restores safe, consistent burner lighting and prevents repeated failed ignition attempts that can interrupt cooking.
