although the bake ignitor appears to be glowing, it probably does not glow with the intensity it needs to open the safety valve assy, VERY common problem, go aheadand replace the ignitor, this will correct your issue

The ignitor may be too weak to open the gas valve. If you have a volt/ohm meter capable of reading AMPS you can hook up to a ignitor wire and turn the oven ON. If you read less than 3.5 amps replace the ignitor. If 3.5 amps or more are read,replace the gas valve.

check the ignitor for the oven even it is glowing it may not be pulling enough amps to call for gas this is a very common problem with maytag and amana ranges replace the ignitor and it should work fine

First off check to be sure there is 120 volts at the wall outlet as this controls everything and may be as simple as a breaker or fuse. If that's okay then the igniter is the most commonly defective part and has two main functions. First,it draws electrical current through the oven safety valve to open it. Second, when it gets hot enough to glow it ignites the gas in the oven burner. If the igniter gets weak, it will fail to open the safety valve correctly. If the valve does not open, the oven will not heat. To determine if the igniter is defective, observe the igniter when the oven is on. If the it glows for more than 90 seconds without igniting the gas flame, this indicates that the igniter is too weak to open the valve. If the igniter is weak, replace it. If the igniter does not glow at all, use a multimeter to test the igniter for continuity. If the igniter does not have continuity, replace it.

Check the oven sensor it may be the problem. Also check the lock assembly. When in self clean does your bake come on too? It should come on with the broiler.
