Does Whirlpool make gas ranges?
Yes. Whirlpool makes gas ranges, including 30-inch slide-in models like the Whirlpool WEG515S0LS0. These ranges use gas surface burners for cooktop cooking and a gas oven for baking and roasting, with features varying by model and series.
A gas range combines a gas cooktop and a gas oven in one appliance. On a slide-in range like WEG515S0LS0, the cooktop typically sits flush with the countertop for a built-in look.
Common gas-range components you may see on this model include:
- Surface burner ignition system (spark ignition)
- Gas valves and manifold to control burner fuel flow
- Oven door components (glass, trim, handle, gasket)
- Oven cavity parts (racks, bottom liner)
If burners click but do not light, or ignition is inconsistent, the ignition system is a common place to start.
Here are model-matched examples of parts related to ignition and burner control:
- Spark module WPW10110491 (controls spark to ignite surface burners)
- Kenmore range surface burner manifold and valves assembly W11302156 (routes gas to surface burners)
- Range gas valve assembly W10898290 (controls gas flow for a burner circuit)
We recommend these basic checks first because many “no-ignite” complaints are caused by cleaning residue or misalignment.
- Confirm the burner cap is seated correctly and dry
- Clean the burner head ports (use a soft brush, not a toothpick that can break off)
- Listen for clicking; no clicking often points to an ignition power or module issue
- If clicking is constant, check for moisture around the igniter area
- Verify the range has power (spark ignition needs electricity even though it is a gas appliance)
Knowing Whirlpool makes gas ranges helps you shop confidently for Whirlpool-compatible parts and troubleshoot correctly. Gas ranges rely on both gas supply and electrical ignition, so symptoms often point to either fuel flow (valves/manifold) or spark (module).
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| No clicking at any burner | Ignition power/module | WPW10110491 |
| Clicking but no flame on one burner | Cap/ports/valve | W10898290 |
| Weak or uneven flames | Burner head/air mix/manifold | W11302156 |

Where to find model number on Whirlpool gas range?
On a Whirlpool gas range like model WEG515S0LS0, the model number is typically on a rating label around the oven frame or storage drawer area. On many slide-in ranges, you can also find it behind or under the warming drawer. Use the exact model number to match parts correctly.
- Behind the warming drawer: Pull the drawer out and look on the frame or side rail.
- Oven door frame: Open the oven door and check the left or right front frame.
- Storage drawer opening (if equipped): Look along the front frame once the drawer is removed.
- Lower rear panel area: Some labels are visible from the back of the range.
- Paperwork: Your purchase receipt or installation paperwork may list the model.
Most Whirlpool rating labels include both a model number and a serial number. The model number is usually printed clearly and may include letters and numbers similar to WEG515S0LS0.
| You see on the label | What it means | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Identifies the exact design | Ensures correct fit for parts like a control panel or door glass |
| Serial number | Identifies production run/date | Helps confirm version differences when ordering |
Whirlpool ranges can look identical but use different igniters, spark modules, door parts, or control components. Using the full model number helps us match the correct replacement part the first time, such as the spark module WPW10110491 or door glass WP8053948.
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers).
- Take a clear photo of the label for reference.
- Match the model number first, then confirm the part name and part ID.

Why is my Whirlpool gas stove working but not the oven?
If the cooktop burners work but the oven on your Whirlpool WEG515S0LS0 will not heat, the most common cause is a weak bake igniter; it can glow but still not pull enough current to open the oven gas valve. Control or wiring issues are also possible.
- Set the oven to BAKE and watch for the igniter to glow.
- Listen for the burner to light within about 30 to 90 seconds.
- If the igniter glows a long time with no flame, stop the cycle and let the oven air out.
- Confirm the range has power (plugged in, breaker on); the oven ignition system needs electricity.
| What you see | Most likely cause | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter does not glow | Power, wiring, or control problem | Check power; inspect wiring connections |
| Igniter glows, no flame | Weak igniter (most common) | Replace the igniter (match by model) |
| Flame starts then quits | Gas flow or ignition problem | Clean burner area; check for steady flame |
| Oven heats inconsistently | Intermittent control or connection | Reseat connectors; test components |
These parts can be involved depending on the exact symptom:
- Valve-gas W10898290 (oven gas valve assembly; affects gas flow to the burner)
- Ctrl-lcx 1.0 W11542180 (electronic control that can prevent bake operation)
- If you smell gas, shut the oven off, ventilate the area, and stop troubleshooting until the smell is gone.
- For electrical checks, use safe meter practices from how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video.
- If you are not comfortable testing live voltage, use a qualified technician.
A weak igniter is easy to misread because it still glows; replacing the failed ignition or control component restores reliable lighting, stable baking temperatures, and safe operation.
