I have no idea what componet needs replaced, if this is an igniter or gas value issue. The primary appliance replair shop does not service this brand. Any advice would be appreciated.

If the problem is with the bake then most likely the igniter is bad and has to be replaced. If the problem is with broil then I would inspect the broil burner first for any size of holes in the net. Replace the burner if you found one. The igniter for the broil burner has to be replaced in any way. The igniters for the bake and for the broil are the same. You have to use the bracket from the old igniter. - The part number for the new igniter AP2934763 - The part number for the broil burner AP55224 - Here are the break down diagrams for the Caloric range Model RST376 Good luck. Gene.
