Hello,
That is great the the ignitor lights up but is it actually drawing the proper amount of amperage? An ignitor is supposed to draw between 3-3.3 amps any less then this would constitute a weak ignitor where it either does not get hot enough to lite the gas or takes to long to light the gas and the safety kicks in and shuts the gas off so you do not get an explosion in your unit. This is one of the first steps that you should take is to use a multimeter set to measure amperes and test one of the wires that goes to the ignitor. 2.9 would still constitute replacing the ignitor.

You also have thermistors and thermostats as shown on this diagram part numbers 6, and 7 click this link as well http://c.searspartsdirect.com/lis_png/PLDM/50037420-00005.png both of these should be tested with the multimeter as well by performing a continuity test on both to assure they are both working. Click this link as well http://c.searspartsdirect.com/lis_png/PLDM/50037420-00006.png you also on the burner tube have a radiant sensor at 5-1 and another thermostat at 5-5 . Lastly you would look at the gas valve although most units do have coils located ontop of the valve which can be replaced that act as a solenoid yours as to the picture comes as a whole. If you have any questions message me back You do have power to the ignitor therefore I would tend to think this would be an ignitor issue with your unit. Please also remember when our chat has fully concluded to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation it allows me to continue helping others in similar situations in the future. Thanks again
