How to find Whirlpool gas range model number?
On your Whirlpool gas freestanding range model WFG374LVB1, the model number is printed on a rating label located on the oven frame behind the storage drawer panel. Pull the storage drawer out to see the label and copy the full model and serial number.
Where to look on model WFG374LVB1
Use this quick checklist to find the rating label fast:
- Turn the range off and let it cool completely.
- Pull the storage drawer straight out (remove it if needed).
- Look at the oven frame behind the drawer opening for a paper or metal label.
- Write down the full model number (WFG374LVB1) and the serial number.
- Take a clear photo of the label for ordering parts later.
For the exact location and drawer removal steps, follow the WFG374LVB1 owner's manual.
What the label typically includes (and why it matters)
The rating label usually lists more than just the model number. Here is what you will commonly see and how we use it.
| Label item | What it’s used for | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching diagrams and parts | WFG374LVB1 |
| Serial number | Version-specific parts changes | Varies |
| Gas type info | Setup and service checks | Natural gas or LP |
Tips for ordering the right parts
Once you have the model number, these steps prevent wrong-part returns:
- Match the model number character-for-character (letters and numbers).
- Use the serial number if a part has multiple revisions.
- If you are troubleshooting an oven temperature issue, confirm symptoms before ordering parts like the range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986.
- If the oven is not heating, check for error codes first using Whirlpool freestanding range error codes.
Why it matters
Whirlpool ranges can look similar across model families, but parts like the electronic control, igniter, and door components can vary by model and serial range. Using the exact WFG374LVB1 label information ensures we match the correct Whirlpool range parts the first time.

Why is my Whirlpool cooktop igniter not working?
On our Whirlpool WFG374LVB1 gas freestanding range, a cooktop igniter usually stops working because the burner cap is mis-seated, the igniter tip is dirty or wet, the range is not getting power, or the spark system is failing. Correcting burner alignment and restoring power typically brings ignition back.
Quick checks (fastest fixes first)
- Confirm the range is plugged into a grounded outlet and the breaker is on (the igniters need electricity).
- Make sure the burner cap sits flat on the burner head and is aligned; a shifted cap can prevent sparking and lighting.
- Dry the burner area fully after cleaning; moisture can stop the spark from jumping.
- Clean food spills from the igniter tip and around the burner base; baked-on residue can block ignition.
- Turn the knob to LITE/IGNITE and listen: all burners may click, but only the selected burner should light.
What the igniter should do on this model
Our WFG374LVB1 uses electronic ignition (no standing pilot). When you turn a surface burner knob to IGNITE/LITE, the igniters click and the burner should light in about 4 seconds (first-time lighting can take longer if there is air in the gas line). See the WFG374LVB1 owner's manual.
If it clicks but will not light
Focus on gas flow and burner setup.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| Clicking, no flame | Burner cap/head not seated or clogged ports | Re-seat cap; clean burner head ports |
| Clicking, weak or delayed lighting | Moisture or heavy residue | Dry and clean around igniter and cap |
| Clicking, other burners light but one does not | Dirty igniter area or damaged electrode | Clean; inspect for cracks/chips |
If it does not click at all
A failed spark system component is likely.
- Check for power first (outlet, breaker).
- If multiple burners do not spark, the spark module is a common cause; on this model it is the spark module WPW10331686.
Why it matters
A misaligned burner cap or a failing spark module can cause repeated clicking, delayed ignition, or gas odor from unlit gas. Restoring proper ignition improves safety and cooking performance.

Why is my Whirlpool range broiler not working?
If your Whirlpool WFG374LVB1 gas range broiler is not working, the most common causes are a failed broil igniter, a control setting or power issue, or a problem in the oven temperature sensing/control circuit. Start with basic power and gas checks, then focus on the broil ignition system.
Quick checks first (fastest fixes)
- Make sure the range has power; the control panel needs proper grounding and correct polarity to operate.
- Confirm the oven is not in Control Lock; unlock it per the WFG374LVB1 owner's manual.
- Verify the gas shutoff valve is fully open and the range is connected correctly to the gas supply.
- Set BROIL and press START; listen for clicking and watch for the igniter to glow.
- If nothing on the range operates at all, check the house breaker or fuse.
What to look for during a broil test
When you start BROIL, the broil igniter should energize and the burner should light shortly after.
| What you observe | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Control responds, but no glow/click from broil area | No power to igniter or failed igniter | Inspect wiring; consider replacing the igniter |
| Igniter glows but burner will not light | Weak igniter or gas flow issue | Check gas supply; replace igniter if glow is weak/delayed |
| Burner lights but shuts off or heats poorly | Sensing/control issue or airflow/baffle issue | Check sensor and burner area for blockage |
Parts that commonly fix a dead broiler on this model
- Range oven igniter WP8054129: a weak or open igniter is a top cause of no broil heat.
- Range oven temperature sensor WPW10181986: if the sensor is out of range, the control can limit or stop heating.
- Electronic control: if outputs fail, the igniter may never energize (less common than igniter failure).
Why it matters
A broiler that will not ignite is usually an ignition or control-power problem. On the WFG374LVB1, the control panel depends on correct electrical supply and grounding; if that is off, keypads and heating functions can act dead or inconsistent.
