I've checked the burner in the oven and the glow bar igniter is working there is just no fuel coming through to ignite. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In order to provide more accurate advice we need the complete model number of the range. Gene.

It suppose to be more than 3.2 Amps. If you can not do it then just replace the igniter because the problem most likely is there. - The part number for the igniter is AP2934763 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for AMANA AGS781WW | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

Should I go in through the top, or the back? Any info would be very helpful. Thank you in advance, Kurt

The new igniter comes without the mounting bracket, so you have to use the bracket from the old igniter. Be very careful because the coil is very fragile. Gene.
