even though the ignitor seems to glow bright orange,it still maybe weak,as in not enough current to open the gas valve,an easy test is to just swap out or interchange the broiler ignitor and bake ignitors and see if this takes care of your issue on the lower bake side as most units use the identical ignitor for each upper and lower manifolds and the gas valve supplies both the bake and broiler manifolds depending on which you choose to use bake or broil
The problem with your oven not igniting is that the BAKE ignitor is weak and drawing the required amprage (3.3-3.6) to allow the gas valve to open. I know to the layman it does not seem that the ignitor could be the problem since it comes on, but as appliance technician with 30 years experience i am 100% confident that the problem is indeed the ignitor being weak,since it does come on that eliminates all others possibilities because if any other part were defective the ignitor would not even come on The part number for the ignitor is 786324 it can be purchased online by simply googling the part number then click the shopping tab on the google search
pull out the racks and remove the bottom floor of the oven,turn it on bake,if the ignitor doesn't glow most likely it's bad,if it does glow and it doesn't ignite within 40 to 60 seconds the ignitor is bad.even though it glows doesn't mean it's good,it works by amps.it takes 3.2 amps.for a flat ignitor to open the gas valve and 2.5 amps for a round ignitor to open the gas valve.
Logical, but not good. Check the ignitors obn the other two. Unless they are close to each other they need thier own ignitors. Be extremely careful when one is lit and the other two a pouring out gas. If they ignite there could be a serious problem if you have the combustion chamber open. The ignitors may only be out of adjustment.
since it seems you know what your doing,,,when you disconnect the ignitor and turned unit on you did not get 110 im asusuming,,,now ,,i want you to jump the iginitor sensor dont use a meter just put the 2 wire together,,the white and the blue make sure therte not touching anything but each other...that the little glass sensor on the side of the flame box ,,on left hand side...onthejob
you most likely have a bad oven ignitor...if you see an orange glow under the oven panel that is your ignitor trying to come on....but if it is weak it will not open the gas valve.....acess the ignitor and replace it
sounds like a bad ignitor, sometimes lighting and not relighting during extended cooking time. dies it take longer than a minute to ignite gas? more then 10 in to preheat? smell gas while cookin?? all signs of a bad bake ignitor
