I had the same problem with my MAYTAG CWG3100AAS, I also changed a weak igniter. still no fire, then I changed the gas valve that is connected to the igniter, and walla, got fire...:) Its now working great. Good luck. check for continuity from the gas valve if u can, but they do go bad...

I failed to mention that the gas valve seems to be working because I smell gas and the broiler works fine.

You likely are not getting voltage from the control to the igniter. Do you have a meter to test voltage with?

There are two wires that go to the igniter. One comes from the gas valve and one comes from the control. Can you test from the wire that comes from the control with one meter lead and the other to any metal surface (ground) for 120 VAC when the oven is set to bake, please?

I only have one wire coming from the spark module to the igniter. It is not a glow plug. I feel the gas valve is fine because I do smell gas
