Hey Dan:
Just finished installing the igniter. Worked like a charm. However, getting the old one off was a bear. Had to use a cutoff tool. thanks for your help great website.

Dan:
Thanks for your wisdom. When I check the ignitor with the ammeter I do so in series correct?

Quote:igniter gets red hot, but no gas is coming out of the burner. Any ideas or thoughts? That could be caused by a defective oven ignitor or oven gas valve. And yes, an ignitor can glow and still be defective. You can read about how common gas oven ignition systems work and the observations and tests necessary to start diagnosing problems with them at the following link: LINK > Understanding Gas Oven Ignition SystemsThe only sure way to isolate which is responsible is to test the amperage draw on the ignitor circuit while glowing. The ignitor used on your model should draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps to be good. Anything above or below and it would likely be defective. If the ignitor was drawing amperage within those tolerances, the gas valve would be assumed to be the problem. Unfortunately few homeowners have an ammeter or amprobe to do such a test. If you wanted to guess, an oven ignitor is the most common (~70-80%) troublemaker in such an ignition system.

When I try to turn on the oven the igniter gets red hot, but no gas is coming out of the burner. Any ideas or thoughts?
