How to find Whirlpool gas range model number?
On your Whirlpool WGG555S0BB00 gas double oven range, the model number is printed on the model and serial number label on the appliance. Once you locate that label, write down the complete model number and serial number exactly as shown for parts lookup and service.
Where to look on the range
Check these common label locations first (most-to-least likely):
- Inside the oven door frame area (open the upper or lower oven door and look around the frame)
- On the storage drawer or warming drawer frame area (pull the drawer out and look along the sides or front frame)
- Behind the lower access area near the bottom front (if your design has a toe panel)
- On the back of the range (if you can safely access it)
For the exact label location and what the label looks like for this model, use the WGG555S0BB00 owner's manual.
What to copy from the label (and why)
Write down the information below; it prevents ordering the wrong Whirlpool range parts and helps a technician identify the correct configuration.
- Model number (example format: WGG555S0BB00)
- Serial number (unique to your unit)
- Gas type if listed (natural gas or LP conversion status)
- Any revision codes or additional numbers printed near the model/serial
Quick reference table
| Item on label | What it’s used for | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching diagrams and compatible parts | Any parts purchase |
| Serial number | Production date and service identification | Warranty and service |
| Gas type note | Correct burner/valve setup | Flame or conversion issues |
Why it matters
Whirlpool gas double oven ranges can look similar across model families, but igniters, control boards, burner valves, and door parts can vary by model and production run. Using the complete model number helps ensure the right fit and safe operation.

How to order Whirlpool parts?
For your Whirlpool WGG555S0BB00 gas double oven range, order replacement parts by matching the model number and the exact part ID or part number, then purchasing the correct OEM replacement. Whirlpool recommends using FSP replacement parts because they fit and perform to the original specifications.
The fastest way to order the right part
- Confirm the appliance model number is WGG555S0BB00 (use the rating label on the range).
- Identify the failed part using the parts diagram and description in the WGG555S0BB00 owner's manual.
- Match by part ID (best) or manufacturer part number (also acceptable).
- If your range is under warranty, use Whirlpool customer support so warranty coverage stays intact.
- If you are unsure which part fits, compare the part name and where it installs (upper oven vs lower oven, surface burner vs oven burner).
Common ordering scenarios (what to buy)
| Symptom | Most likely part type | Example part for this model (when applicable) |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat, no ignition | Bake igniter / oven igniter | Range bake igniter W11596211 |
| Surface burner will not adjust flame | Surface burner valve | Range surface burner valve WPW10206288 |
| Oven light is out | Light bulb | Light bulb 8009 |
What information to have ready
Having these details prevents wrong-part orders and delays:
- Complete model number and serial number
- Purchase date (helpful for warranty and service history)
- Which section is affected: surface burners, upper oven, or lower oven
- A clear symptom description (for example: “clicks but won’t ignite” vs “ignites then goes out”)
Why it matters
Gas ranges often use similar-looking parts that are not interchangeable. Ordering by the exact WGG555S0BB00 model and the correct Whirlpool part ID helps ensure proper fit, safe operation, and reliable ignition and flame control.

What is the average lifespan of WGG555S0BB00?
A Whirlpool gas double oven range like model WGG555S0BB00 typically lasts 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance (keeping burners clean, using proper cookware, and avoiding heavy door loads). Use the WGG555S0BB00 owner's manual for model-specific care and cleaning routines.
What affects lifespan most
- Heat and ignition wear: frequent baking and broiling cycles wear igniters and gas components
- Spills and corrosion: boilovers that seep under burner heads or into the oven can shorten component life
- Ventilation and airflow: blocked vents trap heat and stress controls and wiring
- Door use: leaning on the oven door can strain hinges and door alignment
- Cleaning habits: harsh abrasives can damage finishes and seals
Typical lifespan by major area
| Area | Typical service life | What you notice when it is wearing out |
|---|---|---|
| Surface burners and grates | 10 to 20 years | uneven flame, clogged ports, rusted grates |
| Oven ignition system | 5 to 10 years | slow ignition, no heat, gas smell without ignition |
| Electronic controls | 8 to 15 years | dead display, erratic temps, unresponsive keys |
| Door hardware | 10 to 20 years | sagging door, heat leaks, poor closing |
Maintenance that extends life
- Clean burner caps and ports regularly; keep ports clear for an even blue flame
- Wipe up spills promptly, especially sugary spills that can bake onto surfaces
- Avoid slamming doors; do not use the oven door as a step or shelf
- Use the self-clean feature only as directed; high heat stresses components
- If ignition becomes slow or inconsistent, address it early to prevent gas and heat issues
Why it matters
Knowing the 15-year average helps you decide whether to repair common wear items (like igniters or door hardware) or plan for replacement if multiple major systems are failing at once.
