Rock,

I'm pretty sure you did, they are very fragile in both composition and circuitry.

You probably should order for both burners, I'm pretty sure the bake burner igniter was bad before you started.

Good Luck,

Rock,

Since you have a multi meter, a clamp on ampmeter would be best but,

A cold igniter could have the proper resistance readings, and still be "bad",under a "load".

A glow bar igniter should draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps, when it is "glowing" in order to produce the 3.2 to 3.6 VAC to the burner valve in order to make the switch open, and release the gas for ignition and flame.

Part number: AP2023332
Part number: AP2023332


You have a "dual" valve, and will need to check for 3.2 to 3.6 VAC at the two terminals for each valve solenoid, when you select bake, then broil selections on your control.

If you have less than 3.2 volts at either test, you have a weak glow bar igniter, or loose connection.

If you have the voltage(s), then you damaged the dual safety valve when you forgot to unplug the range.

:) :) :)
