Both glow igniters come on, but no gas. If I bang on the gas valve, both burners light immediately. I assume I have a sticky valve (dual valve, LP gas). I don't know the model number. Any suggestions for a universal replacement?

The two main burners have individual igniters and share a dual valve safety valve. It is these two main burners that won't light after the igniters are glowing, until I tap on the dual valve and then both burners light immediately. Thanks.

Your igniters may be only supplying less than 3 amps. I would just order the igniters, rather rare these gas valves fail. Check the current to confirm.
