Broiler lights but Oven does not. The lighting coil gets just as Red just as quickly on both. Some interlock keeping the gas from flowing?
In many cases, even if the igniter is glowing, the resistance may not be low enough to turn on the gas valve. The igniter controls the gas valve. The gas valve could have failed but is extremely rare. The igniter has probably gone bad. ($50.00 to $90.00 for igniter). The igniter is in series with the gas valve. As the igniter heats up, the resistance decreases to a level where the valve will turn on the gas.

My Maytag Performa gas range oven does not turn on. The burners on top work fine and the igniter turns on.
I have the same problem where the burners work and the oven wont release gas
What is the possible problem?
