They go bad about every 5 years depending on use... When glowing bright the 3.3 volts gets to the safety valve. When dull orange it is passing about 2.? volts not enough to open the safety valve. Make sure to use the model number as the igniter's are the same but the plugs are different on many versions. Good Luck AL
