Default Whirlpool Accubake Oven

I have a Whirlpool Accubake gas Range/Oven SuperCapacity 465.
Range and Broil works fine.
Bake doesn't start.
Bake igniter doesn't glow at all.

Can I fix it myself? How can I find out whether it's a bad igniter or something else?

Can switch bake and broil ignitors? I never use broil anyway.

Thanks

Possibly,

How can I find out whether it's a bad igniter or something else?


If your model uses a hot surface ignitor coil, the coil can be tested
for continuity with an ohm meter or checked for power comming to the
coil with a volt meter.

Sometimes they are the same/similier and can be switched.

Thanks
