Oven Igniter Assembly
The most common failure in gas ovens is a 'weak' igniter. Over time, the silicon carbide or nitride element develops higher resistance, meaning it can still glow but cannot draw enough current to actuate the gas safety valve. Replacing this component restores the correct amperage to the circuit, allowing the valve to open.

Gas Safety Valve
If the igniter is drawing the correct amperage but the burner fails to light, the internal bimetal or solenoid within the valve has likely failed mechanically. This prevents the valve from opening even when the igniter provides sufficient heat and electrical draw.

Oven Relay Control Board
The control board utilizes a relay to complete the circuit for the bake or broil igniters. If the relay contacts are pitted or have high resistance, they may provide enough voltage for the igniter to glow but insufficient current for the safety valve to open, though this is statistically rare compared to igniter failure.
