Lucas,
I take for granted, this is a top burner igniter switch replacement, correct ?
Here are some general instructions from the service manual, for your brand gas range,
First, remove power to the range or unplug the power cord.
(you may want to remove the oven door as well).
Remove the grates, burner caps, trim rings,etc.
Remove the screws, on the cooktop that hold the burner to the top.
With a putty knife or simillar tool, release the top hold down clips, by pushing in on the spring clips(2)and carefully lift up on the top (do not allow the burner oraface housing to catch or hang up on the cooktop when you raise it).
[FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][LEFT]Once the cooktop is up slightly , you can pull forward on the top, to release it from the rear hinge assembly and set it aside.
[/LEFT]
[FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][LEFT]Remove the four mounting screws on the
underside of the manifold panel. Remove the
burner valve control knobs by pulling them[/LEFT]
straight forward off the valve shafts
[LEFT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616]
Next remove the three ¼” hex head screws
securing the top of the manifold panel and[/LEFT]
remove the panel.
[FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][LEFT]With the manifold panel removed the surface

accessible.
[FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][FONT=ArialMT][COLOR=#161616][LEFT]To remove the switches and harness from the
burner valves loosen the wire twist ties that
secure the wire harness to the manifold pipe. Pull
forward to unsnap the switch housing from the
valve. When replacing the switches make sure
that the switches snap securely and lock to the
valve body. The slack in the wire harness should
lay under the manifold tube and secure with the[/LEFT]
wire twist ties.
Good Luck,
Happy New Year

Lucas,
There is no bake burner igniter switch, that should be a circuit in the ERC/Clock.
Do you mean the bake burner "Glow Bar " igniter ?
Here are instructions for replacing the igniter assembly,
