There is small glow when under the oven floor but no igition after 7-8 minutes I smell gas so I clear the panel by pressing the cancel button.

My question is this, Does the ignitor glow even when it is malfunctioning and If I smell gas doesnt mean that the check valve is working?

We recently self cleaned the oven a few weeks ago and the range has been working fine until the last couple of days when I set the range to convection about ten or fifteen minutes later I came in from outside and got a good whif of gas only to see the preheat still lit on the display panel. I quickly turned the oven off and I think it might be a bad ignitor but want to confirm that the ignitor will still glow after malfunction or is the glow something else?

Any replies welcome,

The igniter can still glow if it is bad but the gas valve wouldn’t open (you said you smelled gas) check to see if the small holes in the burner are clogged. Gas Oven Repair Guide
