That would be the least likely possibility, the ignitor would be most likely. And yes, an ignitor can glow and still be defective.

[quote]can you suggest way's to check[/QUOTE]
The [I]only way[/I] to determine which is the cause is by testing the amperage draw on the ignitor circuit. The ignitor used on your model should draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps. once fully glowing. Anything more or less would mean it was likely defective and needed to be replaced. If the ignitor [I]WAS[/I] drawing within those specifications but gas was [I]NOT[/I] being released into the oven burner, than the gas valve would be suspect.

You can read about how common gas oven ignition systems work and the observations and tests necessary to start diagnosing problems with them at the following link:
