Ordered new ignitor from AppliancePartsPros.Com and installed. Ignitor lights, but oven still won't heat. The broiler still works. What could be wrong and how do I fix it?:confused:

If the ignitor IS glowing it means the control system is working. That just leaves the ignitor and oven valve as possible culprits.

Usually an amperage test would be needed to confirm the proper functioning of the ignitor (see the following link) but seeing as it is brand new, it is likely good in which case a problem in the bake side of the oven gas valve (see link below) is most probable.
