I believe this is a hydro-sparker pilot ignition then burner on when T-Couple/Flame Sensor acknowledges pilot lit.
W/O the signal feedback the Gas Valve will not open and light burner.
This is a Technician Service Job as you have insufficient knowledge to DIY this potentially dangerous LP/NG Control Valve/Sparker Assembly
I assume that lack of knowledge by your lack of a Manual for the Unit
You cannot force ignition on a hydro-sparker manually.
Depending on the specific unit you have the hot surface igniter (glow stick) may be only for lighting the pilot, which then ignite the main burners. The flame has to be proved before the gas valve opens for the main burners. This is done by the flame rod, which could be faulty in your case. The proximity of the igniter could also prevent ignition. Check that the flame rod is clean and secure. Note. be very careful when servicing gas appliances, and never ever use lighters, matches or any other flame source to light them except for the ignition system supplied by the appliance. These appliances are designed and built with safety devices to prevent ignition when it senses a fault or malfunction. This is all for safety. Do not bypass safety devices, it can kill. Call a qualified tech.
When you went to use the stove again it sounds like a burner did not light. The gas built up and then came into contact with a flame and ignited. Gas, propane or natural, does not float around and dissipate, it settles and builds up, which is what it sounds like happened, and then ignites with a flame or spark. When you suspect that gas has been on, it is best to wait and turn a fan or something on to dissipate the gas before trying to light a burner...
from I review I found it might be this...Simple replacement of Glow Bar igniter requires removal of entire front panel with many screws
so sounds like your igniter might be shot - it heats up to ignite the burners - easy fix - get a long torch lighter and just light the gas after turning it on -
Because the glowbar is glowing does not necessarily make it good. Turn off the gas to the stove. Remove the oven racks. Remove the bottom oven pan. Remove the flame spreader. This gives you access to the glow bar and gas valve. Put a clamp on amp meter around one wire of the glowbar. Turn the oven control on to BAKE. If the glowbar reads 3 amps or less,replace the glowbar ignitor. If the glowbar reads good,check the burner tube for a white ash buildup. It can be cleaned with a wire brush. Look closely near the glowbar section of the burner. Check all the wire connections for the gas valve. If the glowbar is good and the ash deposits are gone and the oven still will not ignite,the next step is to replace the gas safety valve.
Your model JGBP28DED2WH uses spark ignition on the stove top burners, and a glow bar ignitor, part number WB2X9154 for the oven and broiler. To get to the bake ignitor if oven will not light: Take the racks out of the oven. Remove oven floor by removing two screws at back of oven floor and lifting floor. Remove the square metal flame spreader to get to the burner / ignitor assembly. (note: The ignitor may still glow when you try it, but usually is still the problem)
On top of that safety valve is a nut. Get a good fitting wrench. Turn on the oven and use that good fitting wrench on that nut. Turn it counterclockwise till the flame comes up about midways of the flame spreader. Don't get the flames too high. Midways of the spreader now. LOL
