This just started happening recently. The broiler appears to work fine. The burners work fine as well. I removed the lower drawer and the cover panel behind it and located the Oven Valve. It appears that when the oven is on and I wiggle one of the electrical contacts on the Oven Valve I can hear more gas passing through the valve. Before purchasing the $100 part I want to be sure that this is the problem. Anyone experienced this and solved it successfully? Thanks.

You can learn how the oven igniter works from the one of previous posts here: http://forum.appliancepartspros...1897-oven-wont-lite.html - The part number for the oven igniter AP205873 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Jenn Air range Model SCG20200W Gene.
