Both ignitors glow hot, but no gas flow, no bake, broil, or clean. No error codes. Burners work fine. Reading through as many posts as I can, general advice would be to replace the ignitors. Is it likely that both of them are weak? Just thought I best ask before I start part swapping. And it looks like there is only one gas valve, so that is not likely to be a problem if the burners work, yes?
Thanks.

Locate a little rocker switch on the gas pressure regulator (#40 on the break down diagram) and make sure it is in "on" position. If it is in "off" position then there is no gas to both oven burners. Here are the break down diagrams for the Amana range Model ACF3325ABGene.

I verified the switch on the pressure regulator was in the on position. I turned it off and back on again, no change. It looks like the broil and bake come off the gas valve, and the burners come directly from the pressure regulator.
Thanks again for the help

Try to tap on the gas valve while the igniter is red hot. Post the result.

Tried tapping on the regulator and the gas valve with the ignitor(s) hot. Still nothing.

It's hard to believe both igniters gone bad at the same time. In order to test them you have to have a clamp-on meter to measure the current drawn by the igniter(s). You also can buy just one igniter (they are identical) first to see if it would work.

Well, the broiler is never really used, it could have been out of the last 2 years and we might not have known. We only noticed when the oven ignitor went. Let me see about a meter to check the current. I will post my findings.

Well, I didn't get a current measurement, but I did replace one of the igniters... stove works now... must have been 2 bad igniters.
Thanks for the help.

We're glad you were able to fix it.
