The Bake and Broil both stopped working. You could hear the igniters but no gas flowed.
Replace the gas valve. It is simple to replace, but please note that it comes configured for Natural Gas. If you are using Propane, there are two changes you need to make first.
1. Remove and invert the gas pressure regulator. See page 11 of the owners manual.
2. Tighten down the orifice hood all the way about 2 1/2 turns. It comes configured to stick farther up into the air mixer. See page 12.

Trim piece on the botom of the oven was chipped in three places
I used the allen wrenches to block the hinges, removed the oven door and used the kitchen counter for a work station. I removed the trim piece at the bottom which released the side trim and oven glass front, and then reversed the procedure. It took more time to clean things than to do the exchange. My only issue is with Fed Ex who delived the first trim piece bent in the middle inside a crushed box. Part Select had another part sent the same day after I called them.

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

Ignater would ignate the first time, but then after the oven went off the ignater would not re-ignate and the ove would rmain off
The first thing you need to do is remove the racks from your oven.
Then look around at the back of your oven for the screws that hold the bottom pan down.
Remove those screws and remove the pan. Some need to slide back and then come up others will just pull up.
Remove the heat shield that is over the burner.
Remove the bottom drawer of your oven.
Now you should be able to see the igniter that sits on an angle by the burner tubes with a couple of wires coming out of it.
Removing the screws that hold the igniter is probably the most difficult part with some ovens. Sometimes it is easier to remove the whole bracket that holds the igniter and then remove and replace the igniter out of the oven.
The wires for the igniter will go to a Molex plug. Follow the wires and undo the plug. On many units it will be below the oven in the drawer opening at the top back. You will need to lay flat on the floor and reach back in to do this.
Once you have the old igniter out then you can carefully install the new one.
Check to make sure that you can feed the Molex plug and wires down through to the bottom before fastening the igniter.
Once the igniter is secured and the plug is connected, you can then replace the other parts in the reverse order that they came out.

The original trim rusted
I did the repair by myself. I used masking tape to hold the side trim in place. It was pretty easy and it looks great.

oven temperature did not stay as set
changing the part itself was easy, but the sheet metal covering the whole back of the oven was difficult to remove because of some screws that were stripped. The new sensor solved the problem.
