On oven control, push bake & start, a 10 minute warm-up starts with the igniter glowing brightly, at the end of the 10 min. the timer dings and the display shows 350 deg temperature setting, but no ignition. Waited a couple more minutes and still nothing. Unplugged the range to see if it would reset it's self (5 Min) then tried again with same results. After a few minutes, I tried the old Army trick and tapped on the oven valve and behold there was ignition. Was this coinsidence or is the valve defective.

Earl, Measure the current drawn by the oven igniter. If it more than 3.2 amps then the problem is a bad gas valve. If it's 3.2 amps or less then the problem is a bad igniter. - The part number for the oven igniter is AP3129373 - The part number for the gas safety valve is AP3129369 Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool range Model SF315PEKB0Gene.
