The Whirlpool GW397LXUB is a slide-in gas range. It is also sold as GW397LXUB00, GW397LXUQ, GW397LXUS0 and several other versions, with different finishes among them. We read the whole label so the parts match.
A slide-in range sits between countertops and connects to a gas line, with a 120-volt outlet for the ignition and controls. If the cooktop burners click but do not light, we check burner caps, ports and the spark module. If the oven does not heat, the igniter and gas valve are the first tests, since a weak igniter can glow without opening the valve.
We shut off and test the gas connection for leaks as part of any visit, give you the price in writing before work and provide a 30-day workmanship warranty. Model and serial from the label go on every order.

Error codes this model can show
My gas oven glows but never lights. What is wrong?
Often the igniter has weakened and no longer draws enough current to open the gas valve. We measure it with a meter and replace it if it tests weak, then confirm the flame pattern.
A burner on my slide-in range clicks without lighting. What do you do?
We clean the burner ports, check the cap seating and test the spark module. Food residue near the electrode is a frequent cause, and cleaning it costs nothing extra.
What do the endings on GW397LXUB mean?
They mark finishes and versions of the same range. Parts can differ between them, so we read your label and match the part to the exact ending before ordering anything for you.
