I can hear the gas starting to flow, I hear 4 double sparks (clicks?) but then it stops without lighting. When trying in broil, it works just fine. I opened the bottom section and when starting in bake, I lit the gas with a match and it works just fine (i.e. gas doesn't shut off). That said, for obvious reasons that's not a workable solution. Anyone have any idea what to do next? Thanks BQ

After the replacement, the igniter certainly worked. However, the next day again it didn't work. Again, it works on broil but when trying on bake, I can hear the gas flow, I hear four double spark noises and then nothing happens.
