Hello

My caloric gas oven, with the flat grills on top will not fire up. The 4
grills ignite so I know the gas is getting thru. but when I turn on the oven
all i see if the bright glow device getting hot and the gas never turns on.
What could cause this to happen. what part should I look at or just replace

Thanks in advance

The hot surface ignitor CAN glow red and still be bad!!
