FGP315YW1 Roper Range - Instructions

I numbered every part. ex: 1 L., for first part removed left side. I used a magic marker to circle the holes and wrote the number of screws used on the part, set the srews in a separete place, so that I new where these screws went to. The cleanup was pretty time consuming, but I was able to keep my stove, when every repairman I called to fix my stove told me I was better off buying a new stove. ($600.00 stove 2 years old)Please Note: The insulation blanket needed for the entire stove is two pieces, the sides and top are one part # and the bottom and back, are another part #. I did not know this. I just purchased the top and sides. I got lucky, the back and bottom were still in good shape. So I guess I should have read the description of the part more carefully to see what it covers, before I ordered it. It took two people two hours to do the work, it was really nice to have an extra set of eyes, to remember what direction pieces of metal from the stove went. I would do it all over in a heart beat instead of buying a new stove.

took oven base plate out. diconnected ignitor , put new clips on neutral wire as per instructions, inserted new ignitor, put everything back, worked ok.

First i want to thank you for the quick responce, i got my order in one day. Took top of stove off, took out the old part, put the new one in, made several test to adjust the heat settings put everything back together alls well, now my wife can cook things without burning everything, thank you from the bottom of my heart, a happy wife means a happy man.

Lifted top burner plate, removed all knobs, removed front plate that holds oven burner control. Removed burner control feedind thermocouple through hole at top of oven. Installed new oven control, fed t-couple back through hole and placed in holder. Put front plate back in place and re-installed knobs. Oven works great now, lights at 200* where as before would not light at less than 400* setting. Took only a straight blade and phillips screwdriver to do the job in less than 1 hour, that included cleaning the front plate and knobs while they wereoff.

Remove broiler pan, disconnect wires from igniter to gas safety valve and connection in back corner of stove, under a metal plate held in with one screw. Remove two screws holding igniter in and take it out. With new igniter, cut neutral wire as per instructions with it, attach electrical clips to the wire ends, install the new igniter with the two screws, plug in the two wire clips to the safety valve just below the igniter and plug in the plastic clip with both wires going into it over in the corner of the stove, and replace the cover over that connection with the one screw, which you removed at the beginning of this process, and you're done.

I repaired with the use of 1 Phillips & 1 flathead screwdriver. It was very easy.

1)First unplug range.
On inside of oven, there's a copper, pen-like object connected to a copper wire. 2)Open the clips on side of oven that hold the pen-like object(the probe.)
3)Open the lid of the stove. On left hand side, there's a hole through which to pull the copper wire and probe out of the stove. Or you can just as easily use wire cutters to cut off probe and just pull wire from the oven through the hole. 4)Pull off the oven's thermostat control knob. Using screwdriver, unscrew both screws under where the knob was. 5)Now pull the flat wire connecters from both sides of the old thermostat. Remember which wire goes on which side.
6)Remove old thermostat and copper wire that's connected to it.
Replace thermostat. 7)Feed copper wire with probe through hole on left side of stove.
8)Slide flat wire connecters onto sides of new thermostat. Replace screws. Insert new probe into clips on side of oven. Close stove cover. Replace thermostat control knob. Plug in range. Test thermostat. 9)According to owner's manual, turn oven to 350° and oven should be no more than 50° above setting.

It was so easy. I am 66 yrs old. It only took 30 minutes and a screwdiver. I was totally amazed and I thank you.

I just followed the instructions that came with the part I had no problem at all and I'm a 72 yr old lady so any one can do it.

We took out the old thermostat and replaced it with the new one....now we don't have to buy a new oven!!!!!

replaced the igniter with a new one

My 1st thought was that the valve was bad but after watching a whirlpool video on how to trouble shoot I put an amp probe on the wire to the igniter and discovered that the amp draw was not getting high enough to open the valve. The vale calls for 3 amps but the amps on the igniter only got up to 2.4 amps even though the igniter was glowing red hot. I ordered the new igniter from PartSelect and it was here in less then 2 days. It was a perfect fit and took about 30 mins. to install and it works perfectly. I also ordered a motor and a blower wheel for a Whirlpool Electric Dryer, Model #LEC8858EQO, and it arrived in less than a day and again both items were an exact fit and the dryer now works perfectly. Great service and fast response by PartSelect. I will defiantly use PartSelect again.

removed the old thermostat and replaced it with the new one. now it works great!

Determined problem was probably the igniter and ordered one. Watched internet video on igniter replacement. When igniter came read instructions and found them incomplete and ambiguous. Turned off current to stove. As per video removed oven door, racks, bottom of oven and flame deflector (only one nut holding in place.) Could then see how existing igniter was wired and understood instructions that came with igniter. Followed instructions for installation and replaced previously removed parts. Turned electricity back on and the oven/broiler gas ignited as per usual. Job took me about an hour. Could do again in 15 minutes.

Followed instructions that came w/ NEW PART. Very straight forward.
