Gene. hello gene The oven is so old that the model number is not readable. The problem is that the gas will not light because the gas valve will not open, but the hot surface ignitor comes on. So my guess is that the gas valve is bad, but it worked fine before i cleaned it.

Problems with gas valves are much more rare. You can measure the current drawn by the igniter and if it's less than 3.25 amps, if there is a flat igniter, or less than 2.55 amps, if there is a round igniter, then the igniter is bad. Gene.
