How does this prevent the gas from turning on even when it is brightly glowing?
For model number FFGW2415QSC
Hello Roger, thank you for reaching out. It is possible for an oven's igniter to glow brightly but still fail to ignite the gas, even if it is glowing brightly. This can happen due to a faulty igniter. We would recommend checking the igniter and replacing it if it is found at fault, to solve the problem. Glad to be of assistance!

Checked the top burners and broiler operation, they worked. Checked amp. draw for the oven igniter. Low, even though it was glowing. Replace igniter and rechecked oven operation, ok. The oven burner now works.
Unplug the power.Took off the broiler door . Reached in , unscrewed the two screws holding the igniter (one screw was stripped so that gave me a little problem) put on the new igniter. Stripped the wires & put the caps on. Plugged back in the stove & worked great.
The repair is straight forward, make sure to turn off the gas and power to the stove. First, you will remove the shield(s) in the bottom of your oven, first with a flathead screwdriver with the two screws in the far back. Then there is a center nut and 3 screws on the next shield, my advice here is to get a 1/4" socket because they have
... Read more a odd sized square hole in the middle and are not metric. After removing that shield it exposes the flat style oven igniter, it has two screws holding it in that are also 1/4". After removing the screws from the igniter, remove the broiler pan and tip the oven back against the wall behind it. Cut the appropriate wires and twist the wires from the new igniter onto them using the provided wire caps. Then just put the oven back on the floor and screw everything into place...This repair should really take less than 15 minutes even for a novice but I spent longer than I should have trying to make an adjustable wrench work when I should have just got the 1/4" socket.

I narrowed the problem down to the three major components that would cause the problem and after doing research on the Frigidaire web site, I saw that the igniter had the highest percentage of failure, and would resolve the issue 97% of the time. I ordered a replacement and it was here in 2 days (outstanding service!!!!) I read the other
... Read moreposted replacement steps and decided that I could do it the same way with one small difference: I removed the oven "floor" plate and the broiler drawer which gave me unhindered access the the part I needed to replace. I unplugged the oven and after cutting the leads of the new Igniter to length, stripping the insulation back to expose the wires, I used the supplied ceramic barrel nuts to join the 2 wires, made sure there wouldn't be any issues with the routing, reassembled the oven floor plate and broiler drawer, plugged the appliance back in, and tested. Success, it now works great and I saved a lot of money over having to buy a new oven !!!
