I have a GE built-in gas oven which had a weak ignitor glow so I decided to replace it with a new ignitor replacement part. However, after replacing the 2 ignitors (bake & broil) and one temperature sensor--it still will not turn on. I don't think it's the gas valve because first the ignitor has to glow red before the gas valve can turn on according to what I've read. But now, the ignitor doesn't glow at all so I'm not quite sure what's wrong. When I replaced the parts, I put all the wiring back in its original position and everything. Any insight would be super helpful! Thank you in advance for all your help!

Then, either the wiring wasn't connected correctly or the new ignitor is faulty (rare, but it does happen, the older style silicon carbide ignitors are very fragile, and the smallest crack will do it). You could try using a volt/ohm meter to first check continuity through the ignitor and, if you find that the ignitor conducts, test the power coming to the ignitor. Good Luck
