The bake ignitor in the oven will not turn on. Gas range and broiler work just fine. I replaced the bake ignitor as this seemed like the obvious problem, however it still doesn't work. No glow on the brand new bake ignitor either, so of course no gas. Curses.
I was very careful with the ignitor (both new and old) and neither appears cracked or damaged. What is going on? Any ideas?
Thanks kindly for any advice!

Hi. Get access to the control board, set the oven for bake and using the multimeter check for 120VAC between BAKE and N. If no voltage - replace the control board. If there is 120VAC - trace the wires down to the safety gas valve. Turn the oven off and check the valve for continuity with one wire off. If it's open - replace it. The clock Part number: 12001627

Thanks for the info. I indeed checked the panel and I get 119.6V between Bake (Red wire; "BA" on panel) and N (white wire on back of panel). I'm assuming that means it is fine. You suggested checking the gas safety valve for continuity, which I have yet to do. However, if there was an issue with the gas valve, would this not shut off the gas to the broiler as well as the oven? I did check the old igniter that I thought was the issue and it turns out one of the wires under the insulation was broken, so I'm really surprise the new one won't work. Not only that, I switched the broiler igniter (which works fine) and put it on the bake element, and it doesn't work either. Something else is going on. I just find it so weird that there appear to be two simultaneous issues happening here at the same time. I am so confused. Guess I better check that gas valve! Thanks kindly for your help. kap

Hi.
You have there a dual gas valve - separate coils for bake and broil. Check the bake one.
Simon.
