The ignitor draws at least 3 amps. Check the current draw. If it's 3 amps or
less and the ignitor glows, It's the ignotor.

My daughter's Whirlpool gas oven doesn't light, while the burners do.
I've had the same problem with my own ovens over the years, and it has
always been the igniter. I seem to recall these costing me around $30 or
$35 to replace, a risk I was willing to take on the chance it was
something else! I checked the igniter for her oven and its around $75 - a
bit more of a risk if the problem is something else.

It is a bottom line oven - probably could replace with a similar model for
around $300. No electronics involved (doesn't even have a clock). Is
there much else that could be the cause of this problem? Worth risking
the $75 that the igniter is the problem?

Thanks!
