Why is the gas oven no longer heating

gasoven

I have a Frigidaire gas wall oven that is no longer heating. It was working off and on the past couple of weeks but now is not heating at all. All the electrical functions work and the igniter mechanism is turning on and heating (see picture), the gas is just not triggering. The separate range/stove right next to it is working fine. I saw this video that says there's a thermal switch in the back but I wanted to see if others have ideas about this before I pull the oven out of the cabinet.

I've had that happen on my double oven Viking range. The igniter would glow, but not draw enough current to convince the gas valve to open. One oven had two igniters the other smaller oven had one. All of them eventually failed. I found higher quality after-market igniters and they have been working fine for many years now, lasting longer than the OEM ones.

Not sure if this applies to you, but it's close.
