Igniter was failing to get hot enough to ignite the gas.
It was a very simple repair pulled the old ignitor, and installed the new one in under 15 minutes. It was nice that it was a factory original part and matched perfectly. The wiring plug matched so no need to cut the plug and get ceramic wire nuts. The ignitor works perfectly and gets white hot rather than dark orange, the gas ignites in 20 seconds compared to 90 seconds.

Oven would not get to temp. Igniter glowed but no gas to burner.
Easy. Slide oven away from wall. Turn gas off and unplug. Open oven door. Remove grates and lift out bottom tray to access igniter. Igniter is affixed to burner tube using (QTY=2) 1/4” bolts. Used socket wrench due to limited space for nut driver handle length. Detach igniter. Got to back of oven and remove the protective plate at the bottom. There are three phillips screws. Verify you have the correct cable for igniter by tugging on igniter in oven. Pull old igniter out. Replace old igniter with new using old bolts! Run igniter cable through back using same hole as old igniter. Plug in connector in the same fashion as prior. Before reassembly, test oven. Plug oven in and turn gas back on. Set oven to bake and set temperature. If igniter lights the gas burner tube, you’re done! Reverse process to put oven back together. Job takes 20 minutes, maximum. Saved a bundle!

Oven would not maintain temperature and LR burner would not turn on
Oven temperature sensor was very easy to replace - just need a Philips screw driver.
Gas manifold valve for burner was a little awkward but not hard to do - I used pliers to undo because I didn't have a wrench to fit. It all went fine.

Igniter wasn’t reaching ignition point
Pull range out from the wall. Unplugged the old igniter. Took the broiler assembly out of the bottom of the oven by removing 6 philips head screws. Removed the 2 screws holding the igniter & removed. Screwed the new igniter in place , replaced broiler assembly. Got back behind range plugged in the new igniter slid range back into position & turned the oven & it works like a new one.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

burned oven bulb
The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.
