Thanks so much for your help. This video was excellent - so clear and gave me the confidence to tackle the project. My part just came, but it does not have the connector. I'm not quite sure what to do with the wires. Can you help me?

On my GE range Model #JGBS23WEH1WW my oven does not light. I replaced the ignitor and it has worked a couple of days. The ignitor glows and the gas flows but doesn't light. You can manually light the gas.

Hi. If you have an ampmeter check the amp draw. It should be 3.2amp minimum. The ignitor Part number: WB13K21
Post the results. Simon.

Hi, I've got a GE Profile model JGB905WEF2WW serial HG220634P with a similar problem. When I go to set the oven (bake) the igniter glows brightly but the oven won't start. The night before this happened the stove lit but would not get up to an operating temp (it only heated to 186 degrees) of 400 degrees as it was set to. I shut it off and restarted it a couple times but it never got any hotter.
Everything else works fine. Does this seem to indicate a defective igniter?
Thansk for the assistance.

Hi.
Open the drawer door at the bottom and look on the left or right sides for the model number tag. Also you should be able to see the glow from the ignitor if it's coming on.
Thank you.
Simon.

Thanks for your help. I'll look into these items. I do have a few questions still.
Where do I look to see if the bake ignitor is glowing? Do I need to disassemble some of the range to see this. I tried to start it and look through the vents in the bottom of the range but don't see anything as far as light or hear nothing.
I've got to barrow a friends multimeter, but can check that too. I just thought that I'd ask a few questions before taking it apart.
I was also going to ask where to look for the model number. I looked all over it and don't see a tag anywhere. There is nothing on the back or in the opening of the range. I'm just curious if you can tell me where to look and I will post those numbers.
Thanks again for all the help. It is greatly appreciated.
