Whirlpool Oven won't ignite WFG381LVQ

[JFJohnny5]

Have a Whirlpool gas range. Stovetop burners are fine. Oven won't ignite. I hear the gas flow and hear the "click click" but the burner never ignites. I removed the bottom coverings and don't see any spark. I can smell the gas after the fact. Guessing it's a bad ignitor, but always like to check here first. Anything I should try?

These sounds are more like high voltage ignition. Glow bar ignition is fairly quite. Usually this is a loose ground on the burner tube. 2 options - 1 is the front of the burner tube is held down by a screw. Remove screw then clean cabinet and front of tube, add star washer when reinstalling screw. 2 is to add a ground wire at rear of burner tube to cabinet. If possible use high temp wire.

Also, Check you wiring to the ignitor you could have a break or rub in the insulation causing it to ground against the chassis before the ignitor.

There is a sharp corner where the spark lead exits the control panel and makes a turn before it heads down towards the oven and burner tube... Seen what Wookie mentioned happening in that spot many times! (You can turn off the lights and see it happening!!)
