The bake igniter comes on and I have tried leaving it on for up to 2 minutes, but I never smell gas, so I suspect that the ignitor may not be pulling enough amps, or the gas valve may not be opening. Would measuring amps through the ignitor tell me anything? What should the amps reading be? Is the gas valve a probable cause?

You can learn how the oven igniter works from one of my previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros...as-oven-not-burning.html [/URL] - The part number for the bake igniter is [URL="http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/ctrfs.aspx?part_id=2150412&&model_id=102071&diagram_id=281486"]AP2150412 Gene.
