Hello, I have a GE xl44 stove, I turn the oven on, the ignitor glows, gas turns on, but doesnt start for at least a minute. Pretty loud startup. Bad ignitor?

Hi.
Check the amps draw at the ignitor. The normal amps should be 3.25amp if it less- replace the ignitor
If the amps draw is good - check the pilot holes on the burner, clean if needed.
Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric JGBS22BEA3CT Gas range | AppliancePartsPros.com
Thank you. Post the results.

Hello - I have a GE Profile - model #JGS968SEK1SS - the oven will not light, but I smell gas.
I have replaced the igniter (twice) and the gas safety valve, and the thermostat.
I am told that if the igniter was not getting hot enough, the gas safety valve would not open the valve and release the gas.
However, my igniter (brand new) is glowing and I smell gas (which tells me that it is getting hot enough for the gas safety valve (brand new) to open up and release the gas.
I can hear (and smell) the gas but the gas will not ignite. Once in awhile it will ignite for about a minute, but then goes out.
The holes on the burner don’t appear to be blocked and the broiler works fine.
Any other ideas on what could be causing this? Maybe the gas pressure regulator (although the broiler works fine and so do the top burners on the stove).
