Help? You have to coils on the gas valve. The secondary coil is bad. So it will start the first time, and then when it cycles off and try's to come back on the ignitor glows, and now gas, then the ignitor shuts off. Replace the coils. It is a quick, cheap, and easy repair. Tom ApplianceEducator.com - Parts
