Whirlpool oven won't light without starting a stove top burner

Hello,
My Whirlpool wfg320m0bb oven will often not light/or relight without turning on a stove top burner. The issue has been happening for quite a while and I've replaced the igniter once already. The igniter appears to work properly, it comes on quickly and burns bright orange/yellow. But on many occasions, the oven flame does not come on (even after many minutes of waiting). If this happens and I turn on one of the stove top burners, the oven flame comes on immediately. The same thing happens when a relight of the oven burner is required to maintain the oven temperature. There was also a period of many months where even if the oven burner did light, the flame was extremely small. The resulted in the oven heating very slowly. This issue seems to have corrected itself, but I wanted to mention it in case it would help with the diagnosis. Thanks!
