I understand that the broiler and the oven burners each have their own bi metal valves within the gas valve, what I don't understand is how both would be bad. I have checked the conections. Thanks for any help

If it's less - replace the ignitors. The bake ignitor Part number: 31940001 The broil ignitor Part number: 786324 You will have to reuse the old brackets, so be very careful not to brake the grey portion of the ignitors - very fragile. Good luck and post the results. Simon.

Can you tell me what fixed the issue with your Amana bake and broil functions not working back in 2012? I have the same situation and I see Simon never replied as to why both igniters would fail at the same time. I was suspecting the $1xx valve vs the $2xx control board. Thanks much.

I'm going to by an igniter for the bake and try it when I get back in the spring. Good luck and if you find out anything please let me know
