When I turn my oven on, you hear a click, but there is a pretty strong gas smell until it gets fully heated. From what I've read, it seems I may need a new igniter or igniter switch? Can you tell me the part numbers for my oven? I've looked but have gotten many different things and don't want to get the wrong one. Thank you!

Answer Suzan, Do you know if your gas supply is Nat gas or LP gas ? You may need to adjust the fuel air mixture at the bake burner air shutter, the burner flame, should appear as a double blue flame, with little or no white or yellow tipping. You don't have an igniter switch for your oven, you have an ERC/Clock W10116541 , which applies power to the DSI spark module W10331686 which converts the AC voltage to DC voltage and applies the voltage to the igniter 9758079 and gas valve W10293048. Your post indicates the oven ignites and heats but there's an odor, which indicates a fuel air mix issue.
The oven and broiler do not work. Everything else works fine, please help, thank you.

Answer Cindy,
You will want to access the control board and check for 240 vac power between bake and L1 with the unit turned to bake. The same for broil when checking from broil to L1 when set for broil. If there is not 240 vac then you will need to replace the control board.
