My stove will not light after i cleaned it, in the passed you can see the igniter glowing but not now. What would have caused it not to work after a regular cleaning?
 
check the thermocouple cover that it's making contact with the thermocouple and restart...
 
the thermocouple is located above the firepot....the thermocouple cover (white or gray) in color slides over the thermocouple (wire)....the thermocouple wire must penetrate deep enough inside the cover to make contact...
 
loosen the thermocouple mounting bracket so the cover slides freely...remove the cover and inspect the thermocouple for a break in the wire....if the wire is not broken or cracked replace cover so it makes contact and tighten mounting bracket....restart....
 
Your ignitor is probably just burned out. You will have to get a new one. Make sure your dealer updates the ignitor housing by installing washers and drilling holes in ignitor housing. Meanwhile you can do a manual start if you have ignitor gel. I don't like messing with the thermo if I don't have to.
