Previously, igniter glowed red but gas did not turn on. I replaced igniter, now gas turns on, but does not light.
I appreciate your inquiry, K Ogle!
From what you have described about your Frigidaire range the igniter glows red and the gas turns on but it will not light. It sounds like it could be a faulty burner or igniter and I would recommend having a professional come out to properly assess your range. This does not sound like a simple DIY job. Good luck. -Matt

Usually when an oven won't bake, it's because the bake igniter is weak or burned out. The igniter is a small, round or rectangular device, that's about 1 inch by 4 to 8 inches. It's near the burner itself.
The burner is the tube-type device the gas flows through before it's ignited. It has many small holes on the sides to let the gas, when ignited, form a long, low flame. If the igniter is weak, if it glows red but doesn't get hot enough, or if it's burned out, the gas doesn't flow to the burner and the burner won't ignite. If this is the problem, you may need to replace either the igniter or the gas safety valve. Usually the igniter is to blame.

Hello, I'll start by saying this may sound odd considering the info you provided, "ignitor glows...". It is actually the ignitor you'll need to replace. Being that I do service for sears I've replaced numerous ignitor's, both bake & broil, but bake being most common as it is typically used more frequently. I'll try to explain... The simpliest way to put it is this, the hot surface ignitors function like a large resistor. As the ignitor glows it reaches a value to allow the gas valve to open and lite the burner. If the ignitor is even slightly worn/off it won't ignite the burner, hence it need's to be replaced. Hope that help's explain what & why. If so please take a second to rate the solution I provided here at fixya. Good luck and thanks for visiting fixya. Macmarkus :)

I can light the burner with a match, but the ignitor does not light it. The flame looks good. The ignitor continues to glow red hot the entire time the gas is on. I installed the new, matching igniter in the same was as the old one. I bent the mount to move it closer to the gas flow. Still no ignition of gas. Maybe the gas pressure is too low or the igniter is too far away?
