Whirlpool WFG515S0MB Range F.A.Q.

How do I perform a self-clean cycle on the Whirlpool WFG515S0MB Range?

To start a self-clean cycle, remove all oven racks and accessories. Close the oven door and press the "Self Clean" button. Choose your desired cleaning time and press "Start." Ensure the kitchen is well-ventilated during the cycle.

What should I do if the oven does not heat up properly?

First, check if the range is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the oven settings are correct. If the problem persists, it may be due to a faulty heating element or temperature sensor, requiring professional service.

Can I manually light the burners on the Whirlpool WFG515S0MB Range if the electronic ignition fails?

Yes, if the electronic ignition fails, you can manually light the burners using a match or lighter. Turn the control knob to the "Lite" position and immediately apply a flame to the burner. Exercise caution when doing so.

How can I clean the grates and burner caps effectively?

Remove the grates and burner caps and soak them in warm, soapy water for about 20 minutes. Use a non-abrasive scrubber to clean off any residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing them back on the range.

What is the best way to maintain the stainless steel exterior of the range?

Use a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner or mild soap and water to clean the surface. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent streaks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or pads that can scratch the surface.

How do I adjust the oven temperature calibration?

Press and hold the "Bake" button for 5 seconds until the display shows the current calibration setting. Use the arrow keys to adjust the temperature up or down as needed, then press "Start" to confirm the adjustment.

Why is the control panel not responding, and how can I fix it?

Check if the control lock feature is activated. If so, press and hold the "Control Lock" button for 3 seconds to unlock. If the issue persists, perform a power reset by unplugging the range for a minute then plugging it back in.

How can I prevent the oven door from getting too hot during cooking?

Ensure that the oven door gasket is intact and sealing properly. Avoid opening the door frequently during cooking, as this can cause heat to escape and the door to become hotter.

What should I do if the oven light is not working?

First, check if the light bulb needs replacement. Ensure the oven is cool and disconnected from power before changing the bulb. If the new bulb does not work, the light socket or control board may need professional inspection.

Is there a way to prevent spills from burning onto the cooktop?

Use drip pans under the burners to catch spills. Clean up spills promptly with a damp cloth. For stubborn residues, use a cooktop cleaner and a non-abrasive pad to gently scrub the surface.
