Hello dumptruckman200 and Welcome to the Do It Yourself Web Site and my Gas Appliances topic.
Most likely the hot surface ignitor (HSI) is burned out or not glowing hot enough to ignite gas. Therefore, the ovens gas valve will not open. Replace the ignitor and all should be okay.
Read some of the existing questions pertaining to ovens in this forum. All the possible causes and solutions can be found within them. Also read the sticky note already posted in this forum topic. Link below.
Retail parts dealers and appliances parts stores can also help determine what the possible problem may be based upon that specific brand and model. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. Dealers and appliances parts stores are listed in the phone book.
Additional Suggestions:
Read the manufacturers online web site for product information, problem possibilities, causes, solving methods, part locations, disassembly, reassembly methods, repair procedures, pictorials, schematics, repair and or owners manuals which may be available online.
Cautionary Note:
Before attempting any repairs, be sure to unplug the appliance from the wall receptacle power source first.

You were right. I did some tests and it appears that the hot surface ignitor (HSI) has burned out. So, my next questions are 1) should an ametuaer try to replace this part? Assuming yes to #1, 2) where do I buy a new HSI 3) how do I replace it?
Thank You. This is a big help.

Hello: DumpTruckMan
Replacing the HSI is the perfect doityourself task.... :thumbup:
Cautionary Note:
Before attempting any repairs, be sure to unplug the appliance from the wall receptacle power source first. Turn off the tiny isolation gas valve before removing the gas control valve.
If the ignitor isn't glowing at all, the part must be replaced. Position the new hot surface ignitor exactly as you find the existing one attached. Double check all electrical connections before turning the power back on or plugging in the appliance.
If it is required to remove the burner, be sure it too gets installed exactly as you find it now. The end of the burner tube with the air shutter adjustment must be installed back onto the gas valve is bronze or brass orifice. The other end of the burner tube must be secured as it currently is.
Glowing hot surface ignitors are fragile & break easily. Handle and install the new ignitor carefully. Glowing hot surface ignitors are a non returnable and non refundable electric componet. Be sure the electrical power to the appliance is turned off, before attempting any repairs.
Most replacement ignitors come already equipped with the quick disconnect reinstalled on the wire end of the new ignitor. If not, you will have to clip off the end from the old ignitor and install it on the new ignitors wires. Polarity is not important in this case.
Try this first and note the results. If it resolves the problem, post back the results. If the new ignitor does not correct the problem, than the only other option may be to replace the gas valve.
Retail appliance parts dealers will have the correct OEM part. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance parts dealers are an excellent source for original replacement parts. Parts dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
Ignitors can also be purchased online. Read the related links to the right of this forum topic, those below and the links in the google ads.
