appliance repairman here?

ignitor is cheap, ill start with that. Thanks.

"...And finally, it is possible for an oven ignitor to glow red and still be defective. That's because the resistance of the ignitor is what determines whether or not gas will flow from the oven safety valve. If the resistance of the oven ignitor is only down slightly, it can still glow red but not draw enough current to allow the oven safety valve to open giving the illusion that it is not defective..."

BTW the ignitors glow a lot brighter than red! Almost a white.
