IGNITOR SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This gas range uses two Carborundum igni- tors to provide a source for igniting gas from the bake and broil burners. Norton ignitors were previously used in the Whirlpool gas ranges, and both of these ignitors operate the same way. The only differences are in the design (see the illustrations), and in the cur- rent ratings.

A Carborundum ignitor uses a round design, and limits the operating current flow to be- tween 2.5 and 3.0 amperes.

A Norton ignitor uses a rectangular design, and limits the operating current flow to be- tween 3.2 and 3.6 amperes.

IGNITOR SYSTEM OPERATION

The oven ignitor system in these Whirlpool gas ranges has the following three main com- ponents, and is wired in a series-parallel cir- cuit (see the illustration below):

1.An Electronic Oven Control (EOC).

2.Two Carborundum Ignitors (Bake & Broil).

3.Dual Gas Safety Valve.

All of the self-clean gas ranges use these components. When the EOC is set to the bake or broil mode and a temperature is selected, the relay on the EOC closes, and provides power to the ignitor. With power applied, cur- rent flows through the ignitor circuit, and the ignitor begins to heat and glow.
