    [FIXED] Ignitor changed but doesn't glow, oven still won't light up, what now?

    Changed the ignitor. Does not glow. Do I look at thermostat or gas valve as the culprit?

    John,

    If the ignitor is not glowing, then you may not be getting power to the ignitor. You can try tapping or wiggling the thermostat knob and see if that temporarily makes it start working. If so, then that is a good indicator that the thermostat is bad, and it will need to be replaced. Let me know what you find.

    This is the oven thermostat for your model range:
