SOURCE: Don't know how to light GE Glow-Bar oven

Perhaps the oven ignitor (glow bar) is defective. To test, check the voltage going to the ignitor when you turn on the oven to bake. If you have 110 volts testing with a voltage meter, replace the ignitor. If you do not have voltage, trougleshoot backwards to see where you have voltage in but not out.

If I can help further, I am here.

SOURCE: The lower oven ignighter does not glow

I had the same problem and swapped the oven igniter with the broiler igniter and the oven now works. This proved the oven igniter itself was the fault, now I have to replace the broiler igniter with a new one(which is much easier to get to).

FYI: An igniter may glow red and still not allow the oven to work. The igniter has to draw a certain amount of electrical current for the main gas valve to open.
