I have a Amana self cleaning oven (9 yrs. old) that will not ignite. The igniter will glow and sometimes the burner will come on (though not fully) but most of the time the burner will not come on. The fuel is propane and was converted by the installer when he delivered the stove new to me. I had noticed that as of late when the stove did come on it was a though someone had thrown a match in a stove that was full of vapors. The burners and broiler work fine. Any suggestions would be appreicated.
Thanks, Mike

It appears bt your description the igniter is failing. Are you able to take an amp read?? If no , just replace igniter. Although I would like to verify thru readings with a meter
