Problem
Oven was not heating. Ignited glowed and gas valve opened when tapped on.
Tools
Screw driver to take apart stove, wrench to disconnect gas valve. Oven had to be pulled out from the wall.
Repair & Advice
Replaced igniter. Even though existing one was glowing, it wasn’t providing enough current to open gas valve. Replaced igniter and oven works well.

Repair & Advice
Oven would not heat up. I checked the igniter and it just glowed red. should be white hot. 4 screws easy to replace. In my case I had the fish the new wires back thru the insulation to attach to the connectors in the back. In hind sight I should have attached a pull string to the old wires when I pulled them out and use the pull string to pull the new wires back in. would have saved me 10 mins.
