I am at a loss - cannot afford to replace it right now and really don't want to rob Peter to pay a service tech if I can avoid it. I am very handy around the house with electric and plumbing so hopefully if you can help me diagnose this, I can fix it myself. The only problems I have had are the thermostat had to be replaced in 2001 and have replaced the seals - otherwise no problems with this oven.

Did you get it right off the appliance's model and serial number identification tag? You can find tips for locating the model and serial number identification tag on your appliances at the following link: LINK > Model Number Tag Location Guide Quote: The ignitor glows red hot but no gas flames. No gas getting to the oven burner could be caused by a defective ignitor or a problem in the oven gas valve. And yes, an ignitor can glow and still be defective. The only way to determine which (besides trial and error) is to test the amperage draw on the ignitor circuit as described at the following link. LINK > Understanding Gas Oven Ignition Systems The ignitor most likely used on your model should usually draw 3.2 - 3.6 amps. If it drew above or below that it would likely be defective and need to be replaced. If it was within those tolerances, the gas valve would be suspect.
