Default Bake setting provides no heat
Model Number: CGR3740ADL   Brand: Magic Chef   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I've read through the forums to kinda get a clue about my particular problem. The broiler functions fine, the bake function does not. After 30 sec, I can see a glow through the vents on the oven bottom, but I do not hear the flow of gas nor is it producing heat.

Up until last night, (when my wife showed concern that we'd have to eat out), the oven would heat up on bake, but the time to preheat got longer and longer.

I believe the problem is due to a faulty oven igniter, even though there is a glow it is not allowing the gas through to light. I may or may not be correct about this.

Moreover, I am unsure how to remove the oven bottom to inspect the burner assembly. I've gone over the oven/base diagram supplied here on the site, I cannot release the clips in the back of the oven base. Is there a trick or tool that I need?

Any information provided is greatly appreciated.
