Gas oven ignition / safety valve circuit fault

If gas fails to light within about thirty seconds of a strong igniter glow, shut off the gas supply and ventilate the room before troubleshooting further.
Confirm the gas shutoff behind the JennAir Pro-Style range is fully open before chasing an electrical fault
Watch the oven igniter through a bake attempt — it must glow bright before gas releases, and a dim glow signals a tired igniter
Clamp an ammeter on the igniter circuit; a draw below roughly three amps cannot pull the safety valve open
Inspect the wiring at the gas safety valve for a loose or heat-damaged connection
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On JennAir Pro-Style gas ranges the igniter must draw enough current to open the safety valve, so an igniter that glows orange but still will not light the oven is drawing too few amps — it is a wear part and the leading cause of F6E0.
