how many ohms does a flat igniter have??

Oven igniter resistance is not important as long as it has some.

More important is a current drawn by igniter. For a flat igniter it suppose to be between 3.2 amps to 3.6 amps.

You can learn how a flat oven igniter works from one of previous posts: Oven won't lite?

Most of flat oven igniters (excluding igniters with blue ceramic) are interchangeable. Both oven igniters you've mentioned in your previous posts are good for your oven.

- The part number for the gas safety valve is AP2131109

P.S. Do not reply on you own thread unless someone else did it - it makes your thread look too old and like it's been already answered.
