Where to find model number on Whirlpool gas range?
On the Whirlpool WGG755S0BE00 gas range, the model number is on the model/serial/rating plate located behind the control panel; on many units, that plate can be rotated up for easier viewing from the front. Use the exact model number when ordering parts or checking installation requirements in the WGG755S0BE00 installation guide.
- Look behind the control panel area (rear of the console) for the model/serial/rating plate.
- Check for a plate that flips or rotates upward so you can read it from the front.
- Use a flashlight; the plate is often easier to read with angled light.
- Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as shown.
- Take a clear photo before you start any repair or parts lookup.
| Item to record | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | WGG755S0BE00 | Ensures parts fit your exact double-oven range configuration |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Helps confirm production details when troubleshooting |
| Gas type info on plate | Natural gas or LP convertible | Confirms correct setup before any gas conversion or service |
Whirlpool ranges can look similar across model families, but parts like igniters, burner valves, and control components can vary by revision. Using the model/serial/rating plate information helps us match the correct Whirlpool range parts and avoid returns.

Why is my Whirlpool cooktop igniter not working?
If the cooktop igniter on your Whirlpool WGG755S0BE00 won’t spark or won’t light the burner, the most common causes are no power to the range, the gas shut-off valve being closed, or a burner cap that is not seated level on the burner base. Use the WGG755S0BE00 installation guide steps to confirm proper burner-cap alignment and basic power and gas checks.
- Make sure the range is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
- Check the home circuit breaker or fuse (a tripped breaker can stop ignition).
- Confirm the manual gas shut-off valve is in the Open position.
- Remove the grate and reseat the burner cap so it sits level and aligned with the pins.
- Turn the knob to Ignite and listen for clicking; sparking only continues while the knob is held at Ignite.
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| No clicking on any burner | No power, failed igniter switch circuit, or spark system issue | Verify outlet and breaker; then inspect switches and wiring |
| Clicking but no flame | Gas off, air in gas line, cap misaligned, clogged burner ports | Open gas valve; reseat cap; clean ports |
| One burner won’t spark but others do | Dirty/wet electrode area, bad switch for that valve | Dry/clean; test the switch; inspect wiring |
| Sparks but lights slowly | Air in line (especially after install), weak spark, dirty burner | Retry; clean burner head and cap |
If power and gas are good and the cap is seated correctly, ignition issues often come down to the switch or a gas valve problem.
- Range surface burner igniter switch assembly WPW10204718 (controls spark when you turn the knob)
- Range surface burner valve WPW10206288 (if the valve is sticking or not delivering gas correctly)
- Range burner head WPW10406243 (if ports are damaged or heavily clogged)
A misaligned burner cap can prevent ignition even when the igniter is working, and repeated clicking without lighting can allow gas odor to build up. Restoring proper spark and flame helps the range light within a few seconds and operate safely and consistently.

Why is my Whirlpool gas stove working but not the oven?
If your Whirlpool WGG755S0BE00 cooktop burners work but the oven will not heat, the most common causes are no power to the range controls, the gas shut-off/regulator being off, or a weak/failed oven glow-bar igniter that will not open the gas valve. Use the checks in the WGG755S0BE00 installation guide first.
- Confirm the range is plugged into a grounded outlet.
- Reset the circuit breaker or replace a blown household fuse.
- Verify the gas supply shut-off valve is fully open.
- Start BAKE and wait up to 60 seconds for ignition; the igniter should glow before the burner lights.
- If you smell gas, follow the safety steps in the WGG755S0BE00 installation guide and stop troubleshooting.
When you press BAKE and START, the igniter should glow; once it is hot enough, the bake burner should light. If the igniter glows but the burner never lights, the igniter is often too weak to draw the current needed to open the gas valve.
| What you see | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| No display, no oven response | Power issue | Check outlet, breaker, fuse |
| Display works, no glow from igniter | Failed igniter or wiring issue | Inspect wiring; test igniter circuit |
| Igniter glows, no flame | Weak igniter or gas supply issue | Check shut-off valve; replace igniter if weak |
| Broil works, bake does not | Bake igniter/bake circuit issue | Focus on bake igniter and connections |
- Range bake igniter W11596211: common fix when the igniter does not glow or glows weakly.
- Range oven burner igniter WPW10324738: used on certain oven ignition circuits; match by model diagram before ordering.
- If multiple gas functions act up, the gas valve/regulator assembly can be involved (diagnosis is best done by a technician).
An oven that will not ignite is usually an ignition or supply problem, not a “no gas” problem overall. The cooktop can light normally while the oven fails because the oven uses a glow-bar igniter and separate burner circuit.
