My oven and broiler will light manually but otherwise the ignighters just click and nothing happens.the burners work and light fine though.

You gave us good clues in information!-- Thanks!

Most modern gas ovens have a device called a Glow Ignitor to light the burner.
If this ignitor has filed, it will NOT left the gas valve open-- (Good thing, right? :-) )

You say the broiler lights fine-- so let's observe something when the Broiler lights:
Do you see a bright glow near the Broiler burner?
(Usually toward the top rear of the oven--)

Well, you should see a similar bright glowing near the BOTTOM rear of your oven, for the main burner to light off-- If you do NOT see this glowing-- then you need a new ignitor-

You can remove the bottom burner cover, and dig deeper into the repair if you like-
But a new ignitor needs to be exactly like the failed one-- the safety circuit is very fussy about the exact same ignitor-- or it will not allow lighting-- even with a new 'generic' installed.

How deep do you want to go into this repair?-- Maybe it is time to call the service people into do the job?-- You can tell them that you think the ignitor needs replacing-- and approx. what will they charge you for the service call and the ignitor?

I hope this helped.

Replace the oven ignitor.

I had the same problem and swapped the oven igniter with the broiler igniter and the oven now works. This proved the oven igniter itself was the fault, now I have to replace the broiler igniter with a new one(which is much easier to get to).

FYI: An igniter may glow red and still not allow the oven to work. The igniter has to draw a certain amount of electrical current for the main gas valve to open.

ok try your broiler if it lights change the glow bar in the lower oven the glow bar acts as a safty if it doesnt reach a certain temp the safty valve wont alow gas to enter the broiler and bake are on seperate ignighters if neither work change the safty valve

see if your broiler works if it does replace the bootom ignighter even though it glowes does not mean its working right it has to pull a ceartain amount of amps for the safty valve to open if the broiler doesnt light then the safty valve needs replacing and reply for futher info

Gas oven does not work. Burners and broiler work. When oven kGnob is turned on, there is no glow at ignitor, nor any gas smell.

if your clock and broiler work then you need to replace the lower oven ignighter remove the oven racks then the bottom plate of the oven its easy then the flame spreader after that you will see a burner bar at the back of that will be the ignighter and just because it glowes dont mean its good just replace it

you need to replace the bottom oven ignighter take the racks out then remove lower oven bottom take it out then remove flame spreader and ignighter will be on burner bar get replacement from appliance repair store take model number with you just because it glowes don't mean its good it should light withen 30 seconds

Your ignitor is becoming defective. Even though it is glowing, it is not creating the proper resistance to "pop" the gas valve open. Instead, gas slowly seeps into the oven cavity until it finally ignites and causes a potentially dangerous situation. Call an experienced technician and have it checked.
