My oven wont light. Could this be an ignitor problem?
Yes, replace ignitor

We may have found an answer to it - google Maytag Gas and Electric Range Service Manual (1997 models to present) and save it as a PDF to your desk top. Then print out the PDF pages # 18, 25 & 26, 52, 62 65 & 66. Those pages sound exactly like the problem we're having, which sounds identical to the problem you're having. We now suspect the issue is the gas valve heater coil and the volts it needs for ignition. Because without enough volts, the ignitor won't ignite (like, duh?). The specific PDF page is # 66 in reference to the Glow Bar Operation item # 4. If we're right, we'll need to get three small parts, totaling about $60 in all. Let's hope this is the solution!
The ignitor is suppose to glow bright yellow at it's peak. If it glows orange it will not work for the circuit. If this is the case replace the ignitor.
I have the same problem but the ignitor glowes when it is on oven but will not start, broiler works, range works but no over?

Ditto on the problem and our's was purchased about 2003. But our oven problem has been going on for almost a year. We used to be able to pre-heat on broil, then go to bake and it would work adequately, but now all it does is pulse and not really heat up at all. Burners / broiler work fine. We think it may be the oven control module or the touch pad gone bad (ie parts not communicating with each other). We know a good service guy and are trying to contact him for advice.
