Oven wont light unless I tap the safety valve then it will light but it still goes out after a while and I have to tap the safety valve again to restart it.Do I need the igniter, the safety valve or both?
The igniter can be bad as well as the gas safety valve. You have to check the current drawn by the igniter. If it’s 3.2 Amps or less then the igniter is definitely bad. If you do not have a meter to perform this test then you probably have to replace both parts.
