Looks like the igniter became too weak. It's better to replace it. The igniter sold by Frigidaire is very expensive. I believe you can use the universal igniter made by Whirlpool and save more than $100. The only difference between them is the length of the wires. - The OEM igniter Part number: 318177710

I replaced the ignitor and I believe during testing, I blew the safety valve. The broiler still works, but the oven ignitor does not light anymore. There is 120V going into the safety valve. Any suggestions?

How did you check the voltage?
Did you check the new igniter for continuity?

Gene. If the broiler still works, would the safety valve be ok?

No. This is the dual gas safety valve what means two valves in one body.
I would like you to answer my questions first to save your and my time.

Gene. I checked the voltage at the ignitor wires (tester grounded to the oven) when the oven was on bake mode. It was 124 or so volts. Obviously, there was no gas being released and the igniter was not glowing at the time. The igniter does have continuity (208 on the tester). Thanks

Measure the voltage between the wires to the igniter. If the reading is incorrect check for continuity between the gas safety valve terminals (bake part of the valve). If there is no continuity, replace the gas safety valve. - The gas safety valve Part number: 5303210798
